Hotel Cigarral El Bosque

It won't be important to those not travelling by car but, having stayed in city centre hotels in Spain and Portugal over the previous three weeks with seemingly extremely limited parking facilities, the beauty of the Cigarral was the abundanvce of parking right outside the door. Not lugging luggage around was a distinct relief. The view from the hotel, as is much commented on, is stunning. Seeing the vista of the town from dawn, through the afternoon sun, then floodlit at night was a daydreamer's heaven. There are a couple of pleasant bars, one at the pool where there are moveable canopies so it's always possible to find shade to read or just sip a drink; carefull though as one of the local gins was $12 a shot which can prove unexpectedly expensive. There were few diners in the restaurant; only six people during the whole of the evening we were there. There was, however, a large and fascinating wedding reception taking place in the gardens so I imagine the kitchens were grateful for that. The meal was good and pleasurable, but not exceptionally so; the service, however, was excellent. I'd certainly be happy to return to Toledo which is a lovely city and I'd unreservedly book back into the Cigarral.

Super nice view. A half hour walk to cathedral and old city so not too bad. Rooms comfortable and good service
