This hotel is truly a five-star chalet from every angle. It's the perfect retreat. My husband and I traveled by train from Madrid to Huesca, where Violeta , the enchanting driver recommended by the hotel, picked us up and took us to this spectacular property. Since it was quite late, I received a call from the hotel while we were on the train, offering to arrange dinner for us upon our arrival or at least leave some snacks in our room. How thoughtful! I declined, but I appreciated the gesture. They still left us delicious fresh fruit (which was replenished daily) and other welcome snacks. Andrea greeted us warmly, guiding us to our room and explaining everything we needed to know, all while effortlessly handling our heavy luggage. The room itself was stunning—luxurious, cottage-style, with a view that’s hard to put into words; we would say in Spanish, “del más allá!” I’ll share our experience, relying solely on our feet for transport. Our goal was complete disconnection and hiking. First, let me describe the hotel itself. The decor throughout is chic, especially in the bar area, where comfortable chairs are upholstered in a beautifully original mix of rich fabrics (likely from a famous designer). The layout creates intimate lounges with spectacular views of the impressive Pyrenees Mountains. My pics don’t make justice of the place. The restaurant and breakfast area share the same space but are cleverly reconfigured to feel entirely different. The breakfast offered a variety of high-quality options, and they would prepare eggs to your liking upon request. Dinner was exquisite, featuring refined Spanish cuisine, and everything I tried was fantastic. The outdoor spaces were simply beautiful, with comfortable elegant furniture and stunning mountain views. The staff made us feel right at home, always eager to meet our needs, whether it was a specific drink request or just wanting a simple soup for dinner. Their refined and genuine manners were a rare find. As for not having a car, I would do it all over again. Andrea understood our desires and guided us on where to hike. We explored everything from nearby mountain trails (took us to Susin village) to the breathtaking Oros Bajo waterfall, and even visited Biescas, a town with a population of 1,600 (it was about three hours of walking, but we did cheat and took a taxi back to the hotel! By the way, the taxi arrived just two minutes later with the friendliest driver). We also visited the charming village of Senegue, where we had one of our best meals and a dry martini at its only restaurant! Walking through nature, surrounded by goats and sheep, was truly mesmerizing. So don’t worry if you’re not inclined to drive or want to save on transportation. The icing on the cake was meeting the hotel owners—a genuinely nice couple who were incredibly helpful. I wish we lived closer to them to become friends and hang out often! On our departure, they opened the breakfast area earlier than usual so my husband could start his day off right. What more can I say? It was simply fantastic! Thank you so much for an amazing vacation Viña de Larrede!
