We stayed at Mardenit in June, we were in Spain for a wedding. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and Reuben is a magnificent host, our room was immaculate as was bathroom and was cleaned every day by lovely Magda, breakfast was fabulous, a lovely selection of continental ingredients, beautiful bread, cakes and gorgeous jams. My partner had scrambled and poached eggs and they were delicious. Reuben offers an honesty bar and while we didn’t use that in the lounge, we did on the private roof terrace while sunbathing up there on a morning. We also had a meal on the Friday evening, this is offered on Fridays and Saturdays, it was delicious. The town of Orba is delightful, the market square is about 70 steps from property and has two bars/restaurants which serve lovely tapas, live music takes place on some nights.

Read moreThis house has been refurbished with exquisite taste and a clin d'oeuil to Cesar Manrique. Light, fresh, and pristine, it boasts all the elements of an excellent hotel. But it is better: rooms are extremeley comfortable and the common areas have lovely pieces of art and glass. Ruben is an excellent host, at ease in Spanish, French, as well as English. A well stocked honesty bar provided us with aperitifs before a delicious dinner, and breakfast each morning was varied. Fresh orange juice reminded us of the delicious scent of the flowering orange groves which surround the town and each day there was a regional speciality - including a special bread for Easter cooked by Ruben's father who has the bakery on the corner. A brilliant place to relax and hopefully one day we will be able...
