Horcajo de Santiago accommodation from AU$87

Stunning reception area and welcoming staff. Great to be able To use the wellbeing pool late early evening, as the sun goes down. Room was a decent size with an amazing walk-in shower. We had a burger to eat at the bar which was tasty, as was breakfast. Only stayed one night as we were moving on but loved this hotel.

If you need a break from the buzz of Madrid or just a chill stop on your way east, Hotel Ballestar is a great pick. Only an hour’s drive from the city, it’s peaceful and scenic — perfect for unwinding. The rooms are spacious and comfy, with balconies and amazing sunset views. The whole place feels warm and welcoming, like a home away from home. Close by, there’s the charming town of Tarancón and the Segóbriga Archaeological Park with its impressive Roman theater — definitely worth a visit. The hotel’s restaurant serves tasty local food at good prices. In short, Ballestar isn’t just a place to sleep — it’s a cozy spot you’ll want to come back to.

Decided to take advantage of the hotel due to tiredness Beer was good Food was good bed was good Woke up brand new and ready to travel onwards
