At this picturesque replica of a Moorish palace in the rolling hills of Andalusia, the lodgings and services will leave you feeling like royalty.
EXPERIENCE
Like the Moors conquered Spain 1,300 years ago, Barceló La Bobadilla wins your heart. The boutique hotel's setting - a hilltop citadel amid almost 900 acres of oak forest studded with almond and olive groves - is transporting. Strolling through sheltered courtyards to a vast swimming pool fringed by palm trees, you enter another time.
With 70 rooms and suites, Barceló La Bobadilla is modeled after a medieval Arab village, but its amenities are up-to-the-minute. Take the 1,100 sq. ft. Presidential Suite. Complementing its elegant wood cabinetry, ceilings, and shutters are comforts such as a luxury bathroom, a Jacuzzi, and a plasma TV.
Then there's the spa, which features Turkish and Finnish saunas, and treatments ranging from body wraps to aromatherapy massage. You'll want to enjoy at least one meal of forward-thinking Spanish cuisine at the acclaimed La Finca Restaurant. And if you're getting married, there are few places more special than the hotel's Mudéjar-style chapel.
