This place has an unusual atmosphere of mystery, quite groovy. Ancient house. Nice view of the town from the top, pleasant inside yard. We enjoyed the Spanish breakfast they serve and their strong coffee.

The hotel is in an ancient house, renewed but keeping 100% the flavour of a XVI century noble house. Perfectly located near the mines and close to the village center. Sleeping in the house gives you the sensation of living true history! The facilities are suberb and the owner an expert in Spanish history of the time. Amazing experience! I recommend it 100%

This was such an amazing surprise, such a beautiful ancient house full of history. Everything was just marvelous, from the wonderful room, very clean, comfortable and with a beautiful decoration that was thought on every detail. The house is just wonderful and reminds us of the past but with all the commodities of the present. The breakfast is very good with details of the Spanish cuisine like jamon and the tomato sauce for the bread. The highlight of the staying was the owner Jose Antonio, that is a wonderful person with a heart of gold, that will tell you the story of the house in the tour that we makes with us, also was very helpful with all our questions regarding the region. You can sign that it takes pleasure in working with the guests and likes to attend to every detail. It was wonderful to have met such a beautiful person and his also very nice and cheerful wife Ana. This is a place that it’s worth the detour in case you’re passing through the region. My congratulations to Jose Antonio for all his good work.

The room would benefit from a fridge - even a small one. I asked the staff to store some of my perishable food, they were very helpful with that.

It is a historic house previously owned by the Fuggers - the wealthiest European family in the 16-17th centuries. The interior is a bit dated, but you would expect that, wouldn't you? The host was absolutely lovely and helpful, too kind :-) It is close to the mining museum, about 10 minutes walk from the center of the town.

A two night stay in the town of Almaden to visit the mine. Very comfortable room. I was met by the host, Jose Antonio, at appointed time and shown the room, Indeed the host upgraded my room. A lovely building with a great charm very much supported by the host's continuing attention to detail. A light but good breakfast each morning. The host was also able to garage my car for the two days

Staying in one of the oldest buildings of Almadén certainly is an experience, sleeping in a monumental room where history is all around you! If you come by car, drive up the street until the little church at the end and park on the square next to it, only a hundred meter walk to the hotel. And from the hotel it's only a ten minute walk downhill to the worldheritage-mines for a tour; at the same church go right, then left twice and you're there.

There was absolutely nothing at all to dislike.

This was a truly exceptional experience. The owner, José Antonio, went far beyond what is usual to help us, and couldn't do enough for us. The hotel itself is like a museum, with something exciting to see at every turn. José Antonio is the most courtly, polite, and knowledgeable gentleman, with such excellent conversation skills. His breakfast is pretty good, too.🍏🍐🥐🥖☕️🧈🧀 If we're in that area again, we'll definitely re-visit. 🌹

An interesting exterior with a large heavy wooden door, and a stunning interior to this property, absolutely full of history, and located on a quiet street. The owner/host was extremely welcoming and informative, giving us a guided tour of the unusual rooms. A locked garage space was provided for our car at the rear of the property, and three bicycles were accommodated in an enclosed courtyard. Bedrooms were very spacious and comfortable and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was fantastic. I would highly recommend a stop over here.

The only thing that we missed during our stay were a few commodities in the room, we didn't have a table or garbage bin - the only garbage is in the bathroom - also no mini bar (though you can probably ask the owner if you need to keep something fresh in the kitchen) - and only one couch, so if you go with friends it's not super comfy to hang out in the room. Also during summer the wasp population is quite abundant - though I must say Jose Antonio tried to hunt down all the wasps so I could enjoy my breakfast :)

This Hotel is located relatively close to the center of Almaden, with a quick walk you can easily get around town, but it's also pretty easy to go by car, not a lot of fuss to park so it's dealer's choice; when you arrive at the hotel you are surprised by an almost immersive experience: the classic renaissance decoration brings you back to the 19th century, and you truly feel like you're experiencing how kings and queens lived back in the day. All the details from the reception, to the interior patio to the rooms are exquisite so if you're a history geek you will love it here! The only thing more impressive than the decoration is the flawless way Jose Antonio takes care of his guests, very attentive and always available for anything you need while still respecting your space and time; breakfast is very typical Spanish, with toasts with butter and jam, or minced tomato with olive oil, there's also spongy cake, fruit and yogurts. Lastly, but not less important, we visited with 38 C degrees in heat, but even without air conditioning this hotel remains fresh (there's ceiling fans, but we didn't need them) inside which was a very nice surprise too!
