Hotels on the Lake in Jerez de la Frontera

Excellent resort to unwind

We stayed for two nights at Hotel Bodega Tio Pepe in Jerez. After several nights in both Cadiz and Sevilla we really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. It was very central to both the shops and restaurants and only twenty minutes walk from the train station. The hotel was located right next to the cathedral and the Alcazar and is part of the bodega site which makes Tio Pepe sherry & wine. There was a small pool area upstairs on the top of the hotel and breakfast was served in the restaurant courtyard area. Although we didn’t use the pool it had a fabulous view of the cathedral next door and was very popular. We arrived early on the first day and so the reception held our bags for the day as we walked around Jerez and allowed us to check in to our room half an hour early. The bedroom was really nicely decorated and had a huge bed and a modern bathroom. There was also a fridge however unfortunately this did not keep the water cool. The breakfast was delicious and all made to order. There was a great selection of meals and the croissant/ pastry board was a definite highlight. One day we had scrambled eggs, tomato and avocado with toasts and a Spanish cooked breakfast and the other we had soft boiled eggs. It was really lovely to be sat in the courtyard which was all very well nicely designed. We would definitely go back to the hotel and the staff team were very polite, friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Except for buying the occasional beer from the receptionist, I didn't eat at this hotel. It didn't have a restaurant and it's continental breakfast times were not of use to me. That apart, my room and its facilities were excellent, spotlessly clean, if good size and fully functioning. Its air conditioning worked well and kept its temperature very comfortable in the prevailing outside 41C. The staff were very friendly and very willing to assist when asked. All in all, this was a great and very comfortable which fulfilled all my needs, and those of my son and partner, what stayed in an adjoining room. Good place - highly recommended!
