El Milano Real

“Peace and food!”

High class rural hotel that brings the opportunity to visit the Gredo's sierra area. Nice restaurant with elaborated dished and good quantity. Excellent views of the sierra. If you want to complete the pack, a nice Spa (Aguas de Gredos) is 10 meters away.

“Great home base for birding in the Sierra de Gredos area”

Meals were quite elaborate but very good. Good choices for vegetarian diets Staff very accomodating to our needs. Lounge was excellent. We spent time in the lounge daily. Rooms were first rate, very comfortable.

“Peaceful surroundings. Awesome crew”

ENGLISH BELOW. Nos quedamos en la Casa Rural, no en el Hotel pero el personal, que es lo mejor que tiene el lugar, es el mismo y el restaurante también. La habitación correcta y limpia. El entorno natural es una pasada para senderismo, ciclismo o paseos a caballo. La carta del restaurante interesante y correctísima. Lo mejor de todo, el personal: todos, sin excepción (que hayamos detectado) combinan una afabilidad entrañable y sin afectación con una impecable profesionalidad. Amables, discretos, eficientes, conocedores de su oficio y entusiastas de la zona y lo que ofrece. We stayed at the Lodge across the Hotel, but it's the same staff (best of all) and restaurant. The rooms were nice and clean. The restaurant offering was interesting, with enough choices and nicely presented. A peaceful landscape of pine trees groves and tall grasses with lovely paths for hiking, cycling or horseback riding. But the best of all is the Hotel staff: genuinely and effortlessly friendly and useful without for a second forgetting professionalism. Kind, discreet, efficient and very helpful. If everyone in Gredos is like this, this is definitely a place to visit.

We stayed for a week on a Headwater walking holiday and were disappointed with our standard room on arrival and so asked to be upgraded to one of the suites,(all of which are themed, ours was the Colonial). Marissa, the receptionist, showed us several suites, all are large and have access to outside, be it a ground floor patio or a balcony, with a sitting area and a large bathroom with separate shower. There is a small fridge in the room but no safe. Breakfasts at this hotel quite took us by surprise, they are enormous, served buffet style to your table and just as you think, that’s it, more food arrives! Potential food waste was a concern for me, as I was just happy with fresh fruit and a slice of toast! The gourmet picnic which was provided on five days with our package was outstanding, lovely salads, a crusty sandwich, fruit and a beverage which could even be a small bottle of wine! We were certainly well fed here as the portions at dinner are huge but all very tasty,local dishes which were well presented. What really impressed us at El Milano Real was the staff most especially the delightful Marissa who was always so cheerful and helpful, Olga,who initially gave us a briefing on the walks and came to chat with us daily and Francis, who definitely deserves the star waiter award! Danny, also a walker, who works on reception is a useful resource and like us relies on the meteoblue website for local weather conditions, which in this part of the world are very variable! If the standard of the rooms and their facilities were improved slightly, I would rate this hotel as excellent.
