This historic convent in Balmaseda is beautifully restored and offers excellent dining with a great wine selection. However, there are a few downsides, including noisy rooms and potential disturbances from weddings, which could affect sleep. While the staff was courteous, finding someone at the reception was a challenge at times.

Staying in this beautiful historic convent was quite an experience. It is wonderfully restored, and the town of Balmaseda is lovely.

The hotel is a beautifully restored historic convent situated in the charming town of Balmaseda. While the restaurant serves some of the best food I’ve tasted, including incredible gambas a la plancha, the overall experience was somewhat marred by the noise from the road and a lack of air conditioning in the rooms.
