President's House

Our stay at Casa del Presidente had been a high point of our holiday touring western Spain. Enthusiastic professional team members, beautiful surroundings & decor and so evidently NOT a standard chain hotel. The hours spent poolside looking at the ramparts in abject silence drinking ice cold white wine were divine and we had a tasty meal in the restaurant garden-side in the evening. The breakfast was really superb and tbh much better value than the evening meal which we thought lacked the service level and inventiveness its price tag promised. No matter, we enjoyed it all a lot. Having parking right opposite was a real plus. We would go back in a heart beat and will recommend to friends.

This is a fabulous small boutique style hotel situated just inside the famous walls of Avila. The interior is stunning, and the room was beautifully presented. It is a quiet and nice place to relax, having a glass of wine outside or inside the building after you have done a tour of Avila. We stayed two nights in the hotel. Our lovely Junior suite (no 206) was very well appointed and spacious, equipped with everything you could want. A huge (2x2m) comfy bed and an exceptional huge bathroom with bathtub and walk in shower (see my attached photos). The room had a very efficient air-conditioning which is very important during the summer in Spain! We loved it and would have stayed for much longer if we could! The pool area is the True Paradise area at this hotel (see my photos and you will agree!) Towels are provided FOC, plenty of sun beds and shaded areas. The little bar by the pool was run by a really charming and attentive staff girl. We really liked the breakfast with a set menu (different type of ham, fruit, cheese etc.), eggs as you want them and a small buffet – but a little bit too expensive (25 EUR per person). The dinner was also great – and what a beautiful and romantic area! – you must see my attached phots again to understand! I will recommend you to reserve a parking space at the hotel (20 EUR per night) because this hotel is inside the town wall with no public parking area. As a person who travels a lot, I can highly recommend this hotel if you want to have a quiet and discreet stay in Avila. Regads Svein-Magne Tunli from Bergen, Norway.

So SO pretty! Loved our stay. Breakfast delicious and details are lovely. Highly recommend. Estebalete (May have his name wrong, apologies…) was especially nice and helpful. Details were delightful- clean, wonderful bedding, location, fireplace downstairs, all so peaceful. Would definitely stay again.

This is a little late but I wanted to record the vey lovely stay we had at Casa del Presidente in Avila in October. We were meeting up with dear friends from Sevilla after many years and the very nice people at the Recepcion could not have been more helpful so that everything was taken care of when our friends arrived before us. They were welcomed in beautifully all according to my instructions that they were to be our guests. We ate in the restaurant both nights and it was really a beautiful experience. Excellent service. The second night we didn't want a big meal and the servers very kindly provided an almost tapas style of a meal, with several wonderful dishes, cheese and fresh bread, and ham of course! We enjoyed the recommended and beautiful wine of the region. We very much appreciated the gracious flexibility. The rooms and building are beautiful and everyone there was welcoming, helpful and professional. We would return any time we are in Avila again. Muchas Gracias!

Today we check out after 3 fabulous nights at this wonderful hotel. The position is perfect, within the City walls and with parking, this has to be booked and is charged but the secure parking is worth every penny! The room is large and well equipped, kettle on request, coffee machine, mini fridge etc. Bed is very comfortable and at least a super king. Bathroom is exceptional with huge shower and bath, large fluffy towels, I rarely use hotel toiletries but have made an exception here as they are high quality. The pool area is immaculate, towels are provided FOC, plenty of sun beds and shaded areas. The little bar by the pool was run by a really charming and attentive staff member. We didn’t dine in the restaurant but did have breakfast here on our first morning, the breakfast was beautiful but the tables were too small and the restaurant is very stiff and formal, some outside dining and bigger tables would have made a big difference. All staff is efficient and friendly, overall the hotel offers excellent value for money, we will definitely return.

Very delicately dressed rooms in a marvellous building where the first President (prime minister) of Democratic Spain used to live. Built adjacent to the city walls of Ávila, with a square swimming pool set in a beautiful lush garden. Private parking which you need to book in advance. Very personal, classy reception. Comfortable bed. Breakfast again in a quaint setting. In the heart of one of the most beautiful cities of Spain. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Booked 2 rooms 2 adults 2 children on the booking we where told only the suite could entertain an extra bed and the 14 year old was free on charge We paid the extra for the suite it wasn’t a problem But too my surprise, When checking out, they had added an extra charge for the bed €100 😮 not mentioned on Check in 🤔 When I questioned it all of a sudden they could not understand English 🤔 It left me feeling I was taken advantage off ! Otherwise a Lovely hotel & surroundings,but has no personality walking around it makes you feel uncomfortable, which is not how you are meant to feel when paying a premium for a high class hotel. The staff are too young to understand proper Hospitality 😞 Maybe if they paid more for experienced staff, I wouldn’t be leaving such a negative review Taking advantage of clients to extract an extra €100 will bring you bad luck 🍀

The hotel is a beautifully restored old building right on the walls of Ávila. The gardens and pool area are a tranquil oasis in the city. Our March visit precluded swimming and eating outside etc but I can only imagine the relaxing atmosphere later in the year. Our suite 205 was just gorgeous; modern but with character and charm, with a bath and shower. We had heat as well as air conditioning. Both worked optimally. The windows are small but this is not a flaw when every vista from the city walls is amazing. Breakfast comprised a platter of cheese, ham, crushed tomatoes, yoghurt, cereal, toast, croissants, orange muffins and homemade preserves. You ordered eggs etc. The OJ and coffee were fresh. If I had a criticism it was the tea.....the water was just not hot enough for English Breakfast or Earl Grey. Switching to Americano and cappuccino did us no harm. Dinner was lovely...the wine choice is limited ...it's a small hotel after all. My husband loved his pork belly with crackling and his tacos and I had the artichoke on quinoa and salmon cooked on a hot Himalayan salt rock. All delicious. The staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly. Thank you all. The hotel is very close to all of the sights and there are plenty of bars, cafes, shops and restaurants all within a 10 minute walk.

This beautiful boutique hotel is located in the murallas de Avila. The decor of the entire place is intricate and charming. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The fireplace in the den created a very cosy and warm environment, especially after being outside in the cold weather. We had the suite and I was a bit underwhelmed when I saw it. It has just one small window and it isn’t very accommodating for a tall person. The bathroom was however very beautiful and the amenities were a plus. Wifi was good too and the food served at the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner was ok … a bit pricey for the options that were available especially for breakfast.
