Entre Dos Aguas Hotel Boutique

Lovely little boutique hotel. Lots of reverence to genius musician Paco de Lucia who owned the house for 4 years and recorded a famous album there. The bed was good, the place is a little bit small, check-in was smooth although we weren't informed about two different types of breakfast - continental or the "fantastic" one - which is possible to share by two! - Very friendly staff. Only thing I missed: Kettle and coffee machine in the room, that should be standard by now. (Teabags, coffee, sugar, milk)

This hotel is simply one of the most interesting, most compelling, most welcoming and most spell-binding we have ever stayed at. From the moment Andrea greeted us, helped carry our luggage, guided us to park the car, we knew this place was special. This is Paco de Lucia’s former house and has a captivating Moroccan riad feel. The roof top patio is essential for that late night last glass. It even has the smallest restaurant we have ever seen - 6 guests! So book very early. It is amazing. Don’t think about staying anywhere else. Stay at Paco’s place!!

Just about as good a hotel experience as I've ever had, from the warm and friendly welcome (thank you, Ana), to the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff (Ana, Andrea and Silvia), and to the beautiful building and its magical atmosphere. The building was once the house of Paco de Lucia, the maestro of flamenco guitar, and has been sensitively converted so as to preserve much of the way it was when he was there, including his recording studio. His music is everywhere, even the five bedrooms are named after his tracks. Our bedroom was very comfortable, a great mattress on the bed, a choice of pillows and a lovely bathroom. Note - there's not a lot of hanging space and the room could probably do with a few hooks here and there, but that didn't detract from our sense of comfort and peace when resting there. Breakfast was excellent and served (by the brilliant Silvia) in the inner courtyard where cascading plants and Paco de Lucia's music playing unobtrusively in the background made this an enjoyable experience every morning. The coffee as good as it gets too. The hotel is situated in a quiet and beautiful square and was probably the most peaceful hotel I've ever stayed in and sitting on the roof terrace with a nightcap watching the sunset and the swifts was the perfect way to end the day. Close enough to be within a short walk to the main sights, and with a great restaurant/café/bar just around the corner called Embrujo, the hotel and staff provided a wonderful place for a perfect break. We will return.

From the moment that we arrived, Ana could not have been more helpful. While we parked our car in a City car-park (organised by Ana for us), she somehow managed to take our many and heavy suitcases up to our room. We were really made to feel 'at home' and nothing was too much trouble. The welcome tour of the building and it's history as home to Paco de Lucia was fantastic. The interior is amazing and beautifully re-created. We usually only have coffees in lieu of breakfast. Ana easily persuaded us to enjoy breakfasts at the hotel, and we were so pleased that we did. They really raised the bar for our future stays! Our room was lovely, the bed super-comfortable and we enjoyed time on the gorgeous roof terrace both in the morning and also late into the evenings. Can't wait to return!

From first contact Leticia and her colleagues could not have been more helpful…arranging for transfers from the airport, an excellent walking guide and recommending superb places to dine. This gem of a boutique hotel in the historic heart of the beautiful city, is the perfect base for exploring Toledo. On arrival and a welcome cup of mint tea, the story of the hotel, home to famous Spanish guitarist, Paco de Lucia, was explained and we were treated to a fascinating tour of the hotel with its relaxing areas like the basement recording studio and rooftop terrace offering views across the city. So many details had been thought of to make our stay relaxing and informative and the complimentary tea and coffee station (with additional drinks available if required) was enjoyed on our daily returns from walking tours. Leisurely breakfasts were delicious and nothing was too much trouble. A highlight was the tasting menu on our first night - not to be missed and utterly delicious, prepared and served at the intimate bar so cleverly using this small space. It set high standards for the rest of our stay but recommendations for other places to eat too did not disappoint - and don’t miss Taberna Botero (recommended by our guide) for excellent tapas. With such kindness, comfort and attention to detail, it was hard to leave Entre dos Aguas when we had to return to the UK and we would love to return soon. An absolute gem of a place to stay in this fascinating city. Can’t recommend highly enough,

Gabriel was a fantastic host. when we arrived checking was fast and easy, with our room being ready. Gabriel then showed us around the hotel explaining the story behind it We dined at the restaurant which was an amazing culinary experience Would highly recommend this hotel
