The Hotel’s restaurant is open to non-residents as is the patio restaurant which is poolside. It is also possible to have lunch there and use the pool all afternoon if you wish, although I believe there is a small charge for using the pool for non residents. The food is very good albeit a little more pricey than the usual restaurants. However, the service is excellent and English is spoken here.

This is a very beautiful restaurant. Typically Spanish! The views from the terrace are stunning. The menu is typically Spanish with many pork, steaks, chicken, fish and rabbit dishes all cooked in a wood oven. The starters are particularly very good with such things as revuelto (scrambled eggs with asparagus, mushrooms, seafood, etc) - a dream, however quite filling. Garlic mushrooms - GREAT! However for me the best starter is the Jamon Serrano with the local Manchega Cheese - wonderful. Just pick it up in your fingers!

This is a very lovely restaurant with a wonderful rustic atmosphere. The menu is extensive, and if booking in advance it is possible to order suckling pig and venison (subject to availability). Middle of the range price wise and as always in this area the ambience is very, very friendly. For the connoisseur there is a very extensive Wine List offering many fine wines as well as the usual local wines.
