S'Enis Monte Maccione

I stayed here as a base to explore the mountain trails nearby as it is perfectly located. The room was comfortable, the breakfast great and the staff friendly. I opted for the half board and the evening meals were great - hearty local food Will stay again when I’m in the area. Thanks.

We stayed at this hotel so that we would already be halfway up the mountain before starting our hike. The location and services were ideal. We did extensive online research beforehand, and the trails we chose were sign posted and easy to find and follow from here. The view from the room and balcony was stunning and kept changing with the light at different times of day. The building was not initially built to be a hotel, so we occasionally heard heavy doors opening and closing and plumbing from other rooms, but we got a good night’s sleep. There’s no fridge and you might want to bring your own corkscrew, but we appreciated that there were loads of hangers provided. The Wifi in the room was faster than at home. The breakfast buffet was great. There was a selection of all sorts of things, including a rather tasty egg dish, homemade cake, wonderful almond biscuits, and possibly the juiciest apple I’ve ever had. There was filter coffee in a jug, so you could help yourself, but the waitress also made fresh individual coffees. We got an excellent dinner deal on the Hotel Guest Menu for 25 Euros each, which included a starter, main course, and dessert. (It was unclear on the website whether it would be 3 dishes or 4. Even at 3, it was good value as the servings were generous and the food was delicious. You may need to ask for this menu). The Vegetarian options on the set menu were astonishingly good. The Vegetable and Legume Soup was traditional and wholesome, like grandma used to make. My husband was a little disappointed that they didn’t have the Sheep Stew that evening, but he said the beef was good and they offered to substitute potatoes instead of salad. My Aubergine Frattau dish was full of flavour and very filling. The Sevada Hin Mele dessert was gooey and scrumptious. It was so tasty, I believe it must have been made with the cooperative’s own honey, (there are several types sold separately beside reception), because the flavour was so intense. We’ve already recommend this hotel to friends. The only negative was a small admin thing. We didn’t hear back when we initially booked directly with the hotel, so we weren’t sure if our reservation went through. We emailed them about wanting a dinner reservation and to inform them that there would be a vegetarian at breakfast, and they did indeed know about us. There just hadn’t been a confirmation. Others may want to take a Screenshot of their booking and get in touch with them for reassurance.
