La Torre del Visco - Relais & Châteaux

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 were recommended this hotel by some great friends who ‘found this gem’ last year . .. We had just had 2 hectic days touring and sightseeing in Barcelona so were ready for a quiet 3-day break. The 3-hour drive to get there showed us how good the Spanish roads were compared to what we suffer in the UK and the last 4KM of dirt track descending to the Hotel was certainly interesting. The staff in the Hotel were excellent from the moment we arrived. Our room was very comfortable and the views spectacular and what a delight not to hear or see a TV!.. The Wi-Fi was good so we were able to keep abreast of all the shocking news away from the tranquillity of La Torre del Visco. The food is rich but excellent, so be prepared for a semi set menu of great cooking. We loved our stay and loved the peace and quiet. Jemma Markham who owns this ‘gem’ of a Hotel and is also a very special person and very helpful..She has a very interesting story…. She leads a great team.. The one fault that my wife came up with was the hardness of the lungers by the pool!!.. Uncomfortable.. Thanks for a great stay..

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.
