“Det perfekte stedet”

Vi tilbrakte en natt på La Posada de la Mesta, og vi følte at det ikke var nok tid til å ha glede av området. Dessverre, det var vår siste dag av ferier...Posada er fantastisk, Jordi og teamet hans de alle gjør en fantastisk og proffessional jobb. Du vil ikke gå glipp av noe av et 5 stjerne-klasse hotell. I noen aspekter er av Posada faktisk bedre enn et hotell. Jeg anbefale deg å spise middag på sted, don'' t titt rundt for restauranter; etter min mening, er alternativet beste (og mest romantiske) du kan ha. Prøv stekte egg med trøfler, de er deilig. Jordi, takk for din gjestfrihet og også for øl danner Valladolid ("Celio"), det tasted stor!.

“Enjoyable, but it may be trading on its reputation.”

Real Posada de la Mesta is a well rated manor house in a small Spanish village, Molinos de Duero, which is just about the source of the River Duero.

Real Posada de la Mesta is a well rated manor house in a small Spanish village, Molinos de Duero, which is just about the source of the River Duero. It has been under previous owners, one of the top 5 Posadas in Spain. The new (they have owned it for 2 years) French owners are charming, but perhaps have not quite captured the zizz that it must have had before. Lovely bedrooms with stone walls, and a wealth of public rooms downstairs. However they lacked warmth both in real and perceived sense. The wood fires were not lit while we were there for 2 nights, and the heating in the rooms only operated for a brief period each night. They were not the sort of places one wanted to loiter after dinner. Dinner was strange too. There is a multi-course degustation menu (45€ a head). All the plates were cold, so the food was too. A particularly good foie gras was followed by a particularly bad lamb dish (3 paper thin cutlets with more fat then meat). All was served at lightening speed. The waitress did not seem too concerned about our problems with the meal or the speed of service. We went on a fascinating wild mushroom trip that they organised (20€ a head). It was in Spanish as all the guests were Spanish, which we appreciated, but an English speaking monoglot may not have appreciated it. Another odd thing was that we could not book on the web. They insisted we phoned, again one could have the language problem with phoning. An when we did phone, were told they were busy dealing with another client, and could we phone back in 10 minutes. So a strange mix of pluses and minuses. And it was expensive in terms of "value for money". We did quite like it, because of the character of the building. If we did return, we would probably skip their restaurant and try eating out in the only other place in the village, apart from that there is no local alternative.
