Santa María de Sando Hotels from S$96

"THE most peaceful and relaxing hotel during a multi-location trip. Stunning, historic and interesting.All the staff were so very welcomng and helpful. The grounds were pretty and well maintained. My room was quite basic, not particularly luxurious but authentic to the overall design. I'd recommend the balcony rooms with the loungers, particularly special and romantic IMO. Room 5. The pools are small, shallow and cold. Ideal for a quick cool down, but not for a good swim. More aesthetically pleasing than practical. The restaurant is delightful, with a good variety of dishes. Although I would have liked a couple of really traditional options to try and t We both thought that the portion sizes were a little on the small size. Ask for a table overlooking the river when booking. The prices were reasonable for a captured audience. If the We felt that there was a shortage of bar staff, particularly as it is a 5* property, and being fully booked the service was a little slow, however Rowena and Ellie were exceptionally hard working and extremely courteous (lovely people). I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this hotel and would return if I was in the area again."

"Lovely little hotel in a characterful little village"

"This is a quiet spa resort in the countryside. I stayed as it is dog friendly and needed an overnight on way through the area. Very nice place. A bit dated. Lots of people on package tours. The restaurant is decent, and the prices are fine. The gardens are lovely. Unfortunately I was unabelt o try the spa facilities but definitely will come again. "
