For me Hotel Posada Fuentes in Camasobres is an absolute no-go.||The two rooms I have been sleeping in are absolutely fabulous: no complaints at all. The crowd in the garden were very noisy, but come on: this is Spain and I can enjoy the relaxed attitude of Spanish people.||What really upsets me were two aspects. The very crude treatment in the dining room when I wanted to sit at an empty table and missing any written menu for clients. I was expecting to eat a menu del dia, but when leaving I had to pay for two dinners much, much more than I expected (my idea: overpriced). At checkout of the hotel, I asked for the bill, but I did not get it, I was simply expected to pay the given amount: "We will send you the bill by email". Well, I gave my two email addresses, but I have never seen or received the bill for my stay at Hotel Posada Fuentes. In short: I have never seen and I do not know what I paid for at dinner.||I have read that other guests had a different impression of the hospitality of Hotel Posada Fuentes, but these are mine. This might be due to the understaffed service during my stay (this holds for the hotel desk as well).||Other, minor issues: the WiFi is poor (no WiFi in the room (am I too hard to please ?), the WiFi is interrupted too often) and I found the breakfast far below standards for this kind of hotel.||I feel sorry...
Read moreThis is a typical country inn up in the mountains of Palencia. It seems to be run by a family. You get a warm welcome and there is a lift up to the higher floor, which is welcome when you are an over-packer like me, speaking of which, hiking clothes are the order of the day here. Leave your tiara at home! Everything is spotless, plenty of COVID measures. Rooms are perfectly clean and nicely appointed. Bathroom spotless. Beds comfy. The restaurant serves massive plates of hearty mountain food. They are proud of their local food and you will come out of the restaurant stuffed. They are also dog friendly, although we didn't have a dog with us. One poor guest took his pooch out for a wee at 5 am and couldn't get back in so he had to sleep in his car! Quite a chilly area, although it's warm inside. It was roasting everywhere else in Spain and it was pretty cold there in Camasobres. Hope you enjoy your stay as...
