Beautiful hotel and excellent food

Beautiful hotel with excellent food. The courtyard is a lovely place to have breakfast in the morning or dinner at night, when they light a fire creating a great ambience. Staff were great. Very good central location but the hotel itself is really calm and tranquil. Really nice toiletries provided. Excellent value for money.

Fabulous stay at a fabulous hotel

We checked in in the evening and there was a magic glow about the Sombra. We were greeted warmly and were entranced at the beauty of everything. Service was perfect as were the accommodations. Added bonus- the restaurant was creative and excellent. We look forward to our next, longer stay.

Very good hotel!

This is a really good hotel. The staff is lovely and very helpful. Rooms are comfortable and very clean. We had a challenge working the tv and the safe in the room didn’t work, but in spite of that we would stay here again. The restaurant in the hotel is excellent!

The place is sweet with a real touch of authenticity. "The dinner was Amazing!" It was a true experience of "fine cuisine" and the service was great, thanks to Andrea.
Eric, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a wonderful hotel. I booked the best room which is an addition to the (100 years or so) old hotel and has a huge terrace with a view of the mountains, sunset and a church, sunny all day. I am sure the smaller rooms are also wonderful (and very affordable) but I have not seen them. There is a tropical garden in the middle, very beautiful.

Perfectly located hotel, walking distance from everything, staff was great, vibe was great. Very relaxing courtyard.
