“Monasterio De San Francisco presents a compelling contrast: a meticulously restored 15th-century monastery transformed into a luxury hotel, where the echoes of history meet modern expectations, although some experiences may not align for all families. The expansive gardens, which supply fresh ingredients to the acclaimed Restaurante Hortus, enhance the tranquility, while its cultural ties to Palma del Rio offers immersion beyond the hotel grounds. I found this property is better suited for travelers seeking a tranquil historical experience.”
