I would say that Hotel - Restaurante el Castillo is a great place to stay for a few days. I come down to MEdina as a business trip to Gibraltar and I was in Room 4. Business is managed by a family and they all are great in terms of customers' needs. Giving a great service for an accurate price. I will come back at some point as I have the feeling I was at home or being part of the family after 3 days. ||Manuela, the boss for saying, is a lovely woman with plenty of character and local skills, so everything you need to know about Medina, please, talk to her. Also, she is a great top cook. She is cooking local dishes as you have never tried something similar before. Delicious and tasted food coming from Manuela's hands. ||Pepe is Manuela's son and he is a brilliant top waiter. Serving a great dish is even better when you have a great waiter as Pepe. Also, he is a top cake maker. He is making handmade cakes and trusts me... you gonna cry when trying his amazing cakes. He deserves a great mention in the same way as his mum,||Also, we have Manuela, Pepe's sister and she is lovely also taking care of the customer. Helping service at any time and you will feel like at home when being treated by any of them.||As a summary, a great place is a lovely location, steps away from the Castle ruins and great views on the landscape.||Manuela and family, you are outstanding all of you!||||Note: Carlos still thinking about Manuela´s potaje de garbanzos y Pepe´s mini apple cakes!...
