Posada Al Vent

HAIN1, Coscojuela de Sobrarbe, Spanish Pyrenees and Catalunya

Mountain hotel Pyrenees

This 16th century stone-built manor house at the heart of the Ainsa valley has been recently restored to a very high standard and is truly enchanting.

The combination of stone walls, natural materials, subdued lighting and soft music create a welcoming and cosy atmosphere – the ideal retreat after a day's arduous hiking, touring or wine tasting. The views from every window and the inviting terrace mean that the mountains come to you and you may be tempted just to linger and soak it all in.

Your hosts, former restaurant owners and fervent ecologists, use local ingredients, all home cooked, to create delicious and surprising breakfasts and evening meals accompanied by fine wines from the local Somontano region and Valencia where they are from.

The village occupies a privileged spot on a hillock beside the reservoir with panoramic views to the high Pyrenees of Ordessa and Monte Perdido and, at just ten minutes' drive from Ainsa, is the ideal base to explore the National Parks as well as the Sierra de Guara, Alqu?zar and the Somontano wine region.

Accommodation

The Posada has 7 double rooms with large double beds each highly individual but all with their own bathroom and seating area (NB in the smallest room the seating area is external but has one of the best views)

All rooms have flat screen TV, hairdryer and Wi-Fi (signal may vary).

Special attention has been paid to bed-linen with Egyptian cotton sheets, two types of pillow and rich cotton towels. Toiletries are also of a very high standard

There is one room accessible for those with walking difficulties.

The hotel is adult only (please consult regarding adolescent children)
