La Torre del Visco - Relais & Châteaux

Stayed in this idyllic hotel in Arrangon. What un unexpected paradise in the middle of nowhere. The rooms are nice but basic equipped. No fridge or TV, but when in relexing mode, who cares. The staff and owners were helpful and friendly, the dinners were made with organic products. The last 10 km to the hotel are an off road experience through the hills by an unpaved dirt road. Follow the driving instructions from the hotel and don't trust your GPS ! What we missed in both dinners were some garnishes, Portions were small and therefore slightly overpriced. Quality above average. The surroundings are stunning. Had some nice walks in the hills. Payed for two overnight stays and dinners in low season about €800,- laTorre Del Visco highly recommanded !

Our stay at La Torre del Visco was an extraordinary experience that exceeded all expectations. This rural retreat offers a perfect blend of luxury, exceptional cuisine, and breathtaking natural beauty. The hospitality at La Torre del Visco was truly outstanding, with Markus leading the way in ensuring our stay was nothing short of perfect. His attentiveness and genuine care set the tone for our entire visit, making us feel completely at home. The culinary offerings were a highlight of our stay. What impressed us most was the use of fresh, local ingredients, many of which were grown in the hotel's own garden. Our first night's dinner at the chef's table in the kitchen was unforgettable. Discussing each meticulously prepared dish with the chef provided fascinating insights and was undoubtedly one of the best moments of our week in Spain. Our junior suite was spacious and comfortable, featuring a separate sitting room with a couch in addition to the bedroom and bathroom. This extra space added to the feeling of luxury and relaxation. The hotel's commitment to showcasing the best of the region extended beyond its walls. They organized an exceptional wine tasting experience for us, arranging transportation to a local winery 45 minutes away. The winery tour was outstanding, adding another layer to our appreciation of the area's rich culinary traditions. The surrounding landscape is simply stunning, with beautiful mountain views in every direction. We took advantage of this natural beauty by embarking on a 30-45 minute hike to an immense, breathtaking dried waterfall - an experience we highly recommend to fellow travelers. La Torre del Visco truly embodies the concept of a 'home away from home', but elevated to new heights of luxury and gastronomy. Whether you're seeking relaxation, culinary adventures, or exploration of the beautiful Spanish countryside, this hotel offers it all. Our stay here was the undisputed highlight of our trip to Spain, and we're already dreaming of our return visit.

We chose this hotel as we wanted a few days resting from our travels. It is a long forest track to get to the hotel as it is very secluded. We loved our stay here in total tranquillity. All the staff (especially Marta) were so helpful and made our time here perfect. We had only one minor problem and that the bed mattress needed fixing as when one person moved it reverberated onto the other side! The perfect winddown so thank you Jemma.

The bumpy road in will give you a good indication of how remote this location will feel. It is a great place to totally disconnect and relax. The staff are very friendly. The location is stunning. The property has been beautifully restored and is charming. The meals were beautifully prepared and offered plenty of variety. Our only issue was during our stay the meals were all served on the terrace where patrons are free to smoke - this is very off putting if you are not a smoker. In fact, it seems patrons are free to smoke anywhere on the property, so even while enjoying the fresh air and sunshine poolside, in what should be a natural environment, we had smokers nearby.

Dinner on the Torre del Visco terrace on a cool summer's evening (not so many of them this August!) overlooking the the valley and the sun setting over rugged hills behind is always an annual pleasure. The quality of the food, wine and the experience is gauranteed by the high standards of Jemma Markham and her great team.

Let’s begin with a warning or the bad news: We got a watch stolen/lost from our room, management contacted everyone of their staff straight away but regardless left us with a bad taste, so my warning will be to be very careful of your items especially if they are expensive. Having said that, we had a great time. Tho quiet and secluded hotel it’s great to getaway and disconnect from the world. It’s a bit expensive keeping in mind that being so secluded the only option for food is what they offer. We stayed 3days and I think was the perfect time as the pool and little hiking trails don’t offer much further than that. Top on my list was the service as was incredibly brilliant and the quality of the food everything was grown there and greatly cooked but of course that comes with a price. Overall good stay.
