"El Rincon de la Espe is an oasis of colors, exquisite tastes and good vibes. It is unique in its elegance and flamboyance. The stylish decor is accompanied by the exquisite dishes, prepared by their incredible Chef, and the amiability of the host. It is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the incredible landscape as well as experiencing the spanish cuisine “with a twist”. It is an experience itself and I strongly recommend this place."

"Hemos pasado un fin de semana genial, hemos disfrutado del entorno, de la estancia y del personal que trabaja en el hotel. Los desayunos un lujo y la barbacoa no se puede decir otra cosa que sensacional. Aclarar que si alguien va buscando una barbacoa tradicional, que se olviden del choricito la panceta la morcilla etc etc. Es otro concepto de barbacoa, espectacular. Las cantidades muy bien y todo de primera calidad. Sólo un pero, los puerros, poca cantidad y muy caros. Por lo demás solo felicitar a todos por su trabajo y buen hacer. Volveremos, seguro."

"El Rincón de la Espe es el lugar perfecto para el descanso. Silencio, tranquilidad y unas vistas espectaculares. Verás árboles al despertar, durante el desayuno y el alojamiento posee ese toque especial de sentirte en todo momento dentro de la naturaleza. Os recomiendo coger el desayuno. El restaurante está muy bien acondicionado, la presentación del bufé esta muy cuidada y se nota que sus dueños estan vinculados al arte. El alojamiento está lleno de pequeños detalles compuestos con un gusto delicado. Como poder desayunar viendo un kimono antiguo siglo XIX, esos detalles no abundan. La atención es cálida, amable y te hace sentir como en casa. Piscina de buen tamaño, canchas de tenis. Debo decir que no le falta ningún detalle. El atractivo de El Rincón de la Espe no se detiene en lo que ofrecen también está en los espectaculares recursos naturales que la rodean. Tres embalses próximos, miradores, playa fluvial, Puerto acuático, la lista es amplia. En las fotos, como siempre sin filtros podéis ver todo lo que el alojamiento, y su entorno, ofrecen... y no es poco. Descanso, naturaleza y buena comida. ¿Qué más se puede pedir, MUY RECOMENDABLE"
