We had a wonderful stay at the gorgeous former Grand hotel Mondariz, now converted in to luxurious modern apartments. Our host Caroline called us before we even flew out to confirm our arrangements and make sure we had directions and knew where to park. She met us on arrival and was very warm and welcoming, even gave us a full tour of the building and all facilities and told us about the history of the building and the town. The apartment was exactly as described, if anything better than the photo’s shown, very clean and contemporary with everything we needed for our weeks stay (the welcome gifts were a lovely touch!!) Having the on-site private pool was perfect for the kids, most days we spent several hours there relaxing and enjoying the sunshine, sometimes we had the whole pool to ourselves!! The other guests/residents were equally friendly and the kids enjoyed playing in the pool with the other children there despite the language gap. The property is walking distance from the river beach, and lots of forest walks, a small supermarket, as well as plenty of cafes and bars and restaurants (though bear in mind most close between 2pm-4pm) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again in the future!!
