“The Matador in Sale offers a glimpse into the past, with its 1930s tourist-stop charm and Spanish-influenced decor. I think its central location is a real advantage, placing guests within easy reach of dining and local attractions like the Port of Sale. I appreciate that the hotel provides a private walled garden and flexible room options, making it suitable for both families and business travelers.”
