Chipiona Castle Tours and Activities

The hotel was really nice and in the best location. The swimming pool in the roof terrace is expectacular and it was very nice and quiet to relax. There were no umbrellas by the sunbeds so it could get too sunny at times. My only problem with the property and something to be aware of is that we booked a room for 2 adults and 1 child (9 years old) and we got a room with only 2 single beds. We had to upgrade to a family room with 2 double beds but this couldn't be done the first night (so we didn't sleep much). We had to pay 20 euros per night for the upgrade. Apparently this is something in the reservation but there was nothing refering to only 2 beds in the confirmation. Apparently they allow children up to 12 years old so just double check.

Very nice place to stay.

We stayed for two nights at Hotel Bodega Tio Pepe in Jerez. After several nights in both Cadiz and Sevilla we really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. It was very central to both the shops and restaurants and only twenty minutes walk from the train station. The hotel was located right next to the cathedral and the Alcazar and is part of the bodega site which makes Tio Pepe sherry & wine. There was a small pool area upstairs on the top of the hotel and breakfast was served in the restaurant courtyard area. Although we didn’t use the pool it had a fabulous view of the cathedral next door and was very popular. We arrived early on the first day and so the reception held our bags for the day as we walked around Jerez and allowed us to check in to our room half an hour early. The bedroom was really nicely decorated and had a huge bed and a modern bathroom. There was also a fridge however unfortunately this did not keep the water cool. The breakfast was delicious and all made to order. There was a great selection of meals and the croissant/ pastry board was a definite highlight. One day we had scrambled eggs, tomato and avocado with toasts and a Spanish cooked breakfast and the other we had soft boiled eggs. It was really lovely to be sat in the courtyard which was all very well nicely designed. We would definitely go back to the hotel and the staff team were very polite, friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
