Hotel Villa la Argentina

“Lovely characterful building. A good choice”

We spent five nights here. We had a large, spotlessly clean room and decent sized bathroom. I love the character of the building and the period decoration.

We spent five nights here. We had a large, spotlessly clean room and decent sized bathroom. I love the character of the building and the period decoration. Some of the other reviews do not do justice to the reality. Lots of hot water in the room and good wifi. No air conditioning. However, this area is not as hot as other areas. WIndows open but beware of the odd mosquito. The breakfast is continental plus ie croissants, juice plus meats, cereal and toast. The owner is very helpful and welcoming. We had problems with our hire car and we appreciated his help with translation as my Spanish is limited. He also arranged to leave refreshments in our room as we missed breakfast on our last day due to an early start. Much appreciated too. The hotel is situated in a tranquil, uncommercialised location above Luarca, in beautiful gardens. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk to the harbour where there are some decent restaurants. Be aware there is a fairly steep climb back up to the hotel. It is possible to drive down. It is easy to sightsee from this hotel. You do need a car though. Plenty of parking in the grounds. Would defintely recommend this hotel and location to experience Spanish culture away from the crowds and tourist trappings.

“Lovely historic hotel !”

We stayed in this unique small hotel for one night . The small hotel is immaculate with period furniture set in the most beautiful garden . Our room with its high ceiling and shutters was lovely .

We stayed in this unique small hotel for one night . The small hotel is immaculate with period furniture set in the most beautiful garden . Our room with its high ceiling and shutters was lovely . It’s a unique place to stay that’s for sure . It was a 10 minute walk down into the traditional fishing harbour,small with a number of bars and restaurants . You can walk to the church on the top of the cliffs with spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean . The hotel was about 3 hours or so easy drive from Bilbao port as we had arrived via Ferry . The hotel was built by a spanish captain and merchant and is still owned by the family . They serve breakfast which was fine although don’t offer dinner . Car parking on site .

The building and its furnishings make this an extremely attractive place to stay. It is a convenient walk into town but be warned - its a steep climb back! The hotel would have achieved a higher rating but for a couple of factors - we stayed at 6 hotels during our tour and can honestly say the pillow is the worst we have had in any hotel - making it difficult for us to sleep. Breakfast - a buffet so you could help yourself to want you like would be far better - rather than having baskets of items you did not want dumped on your table by a waitress who clearly would rather not be there serving. we would stay again as the hotel is lovely, good parking and well located for the town and visiting surrounding area

“A little tired”

We stayed for a couple of nights and were comfortable but the decor may not be to everyone’s taste, it is a little stuck in a 1970s time warp.

We stayed for a couple of nights and were comfortable but the decor may not be to everyone’s taste, it is a little stuck in a 1970s time warp. The house is “Indianos” with a wonderful garden to sit out in, but we would have liked rather more engaging staff. When we asked about restaurants we were told about 3 but 2 were closed. The staff did a good enough job, but it was only good enough and they were not engaging like other hotels we have been staying at. It is a walk into town but not impossible, but you could walk down and taxi back, if you want to. Good, free Wi-fi.
