This is a very charming small hotel (maybe 30 or so rooms?), kept in immaculate condition, and staffed by some of the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet. They went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. The area is very scenic, and there are numerous stores and restaurants for those so inclined. We will definitely be back !

Best spot in Avila

Amazing Stay! The staff at Avila La Fonda Hotel were incredible—so friendly and welcoming. We loved the homemade croissants in the morning and the pie and ice cream in the evening. Beautiful rooms just steps from the beach, with great food spots nearby. Highly recommend!

the picture don’t do justice for this hotel. This hotel is so cute, pets are welcome on the first floor, and staff are great. Throughout the day hotel offers pastries, cocktails, pies with ice cream and a charcuterie board with wine. I would definitely recommend and return back with my dog. Paulina is an amazing host made us feel right at home😊

This property is unique, and the staff members made this visit pleasant. The hotel is small and older, but maintained in excellent condition. The common area and rooms were clean. The location is perfect. The front desk staff member, Paulina, went above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. Our party interacted with her throughout our stay. Paulina gave us recommendations for places to visit and always greeted us with a smile. This type of customer service is a rarity in today's society. The freshly baked pies and croissants were always a good treat. I will be staying here when visiting the area. Paulina, we hope to see you when we come back and with the same enthusiasm.
