Hotel Palacio de Arce

“Classy and amazing”

We decided to go out for lunch and Palacio de Arce seemed a good idea based on the reviews we had seen.

We decided to go out for lunch and Palacio de Arce seemed a good idea based on the reviews we had seen. The restaurant is in an old house that has been beautifully restored and now is both hotel and restaurant. The restaurant is full of light, well designed, and with the whistle and bells of a high level restaurant. Indeed, while there are people in shorts (after all it is summer and we are going through a heat wave) this is a formal place with table cloths, etc. Decoration is minimalist and at the same time classy (i like it!). Service is perfect. They are nice, attentive and not overwhelming. And it works. Again, i liked it. And now the food. We shared two appetizers (tuna tartar and wok de verduras). The tuna tartar was very good: lightly seasoned and relaying on the freshness of the fish. But yes, there are many places that do something similar. The wok de verduras with a poached egg and a curry sauce was however superlative. Amazing. Taste, texture and presentation. Worth to the last bite. Then we had two rices (one with monkfish and one with squid, octopus and seaweed). The one with seaweed is full of flavor and if you like fish you will not regret. The monkfish one is lighter in taste but also nice. Only problem is that they are big and we could not finish it. On the whole a place to visit again, and again. In 2, with 2 glasses of Albarino, water, coffee and a tea €200.

“Excellent Gastro hotel well located for the Santander ferry.”

Attractive hotel in a lovely old building but tastefully modernised. Lift to rooms and well equipped attic suite. Good shower bath less practical as tap intrudes at head end. Fridge in room but not plugged in when we arrived. Good car parking. Restaurant was excellent with imaginative dishes and a… lisää

Attractive hotel in a lovely old building but tastefully modernised. Lift to rooms and well equipped attic suite. Good shower bath less practical as tap intrudes at head end. Fridge in room but not plugged in when we arrived. Good car parking. Restaurant was excellent with imaginative dishes and although the menu fish was unavailable the alternative was extremely good and the wine choices were excellent. A comfortable and good value place to stop before catching UK ferry.

“Great hotel in Puente de Arce for Camino de Santiago Pilgrims”

I loved staying here! The breakfast and room were superb! It felt like a castle inside and I loved looking out the stone window to the courtyard below. It’s in a remote area but if you walk a little ways down there is a pizzeria and shop with treats and beer. Just a really nice place to land as we … lisää
