La Agonía

10/10 Excellent

It’s basic, but it was easy to find. It only took 5min after picking up a rental car. The access instructions were clear. There was no hot water, but it wasn’t a problem for me. We stayed only one night and I just needed to get a shower and get to bed after a lengthy journey. The bed was very comfortable; good pillows. The breakfast was reasonable. Overall, I was happy with the amenity and would recommend it.

I stayed for 4 nights with my two teenage kids, and they absolutely loved the cosy look and feel of the chalet. Since it’s a mountain area, the mornings and evenings can get quite chilly, and rain can come at any time. Thankfully, the electric heated mattresses kept us warm and comfortable. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and lots of...
