Catalonia Reina Victoria

Whenever we stay in our friends’ apartment in Monte Duquesa we always arrange a 1 night trip to a special place in the area. Having been to Ronda many times we decided to stay in the Hotel Catalonia Reina Victoria Wellness & Spa. It is amazing… We had a warm & friendly check-in for a superior double room with terrace; our room was outstanding & had everything & more that we desired, very comfortable bed & sofa/TV area. From our terrace the breathtaking views of the gardens, the Guadalevin valley & Tajo de Ronda were wonderful. We had a lunch of tapas & drinks on the Gourmet Corner bar sun terrace…delish We then went walkabout, a short stroll into town & then on to the Old Historic Town. When we returned to our room a tray of fresh fruit & Cava had been delivered which we enjoyed on the terrace just before sunset. We didn’t have dinner in the hotel having booked the Pedro Romero beforehand… Breakfast is scrumptious & offers an immense choice – juices, fruits, yoghurts, breads, continental & cooked. The breakfast really does set you up for the day… Following this we went to the spa & enjoyed the thermal waters - sheer bliss, an oasis of calm & healing. So then we left with everlasting memories of this lovely hotel, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay & will return.

We found ourselves in a situation outside our control, staying 'during the age of the Corona' just before an official lockdown in Spain was announced. There were some guests who were on coach tours who were clearly worried & unsettled but despite this we had an enjoyable stay & had the Spa to ourselves. The staff were all very mindful of the situation & the effect on their guests & themselves. It is in God's hands & who knows when we will be able to travel again to Southern Spain, but we will, when this passes...x

Spa was the highlight after long day walking

I liked the location. The view of the valley and hills

Fantastic hotel. Perfect location. Would definitely go back
