The Convento Aracena is situated in one of the typical white villages of the Sierra de Huelva. This former convent dating back to the 17th century combines an authentic monasterial character with contemporary relaxation. As soon as you enter the hotel, you’ll be greeted by peace and reflection: The reception with adjoining lounge welcomes guests into a grand, nave-style setting. Well-polished wooden floors and leather-upholstered seating in brown tones lend the rooms their warm feel. In one of the courtyards you’ll find a large swimming pool framed by whitewashed walls. Another has Mediterranean plants and is surrounded by a beautiful walkway. A second pool is situated in the hotel’s own small spa where you can also treat yourself to a range of massages and thermal treatments.
Quiet hotel: Relaxation behind monastery walls
If you want to just switch off for a few days, then this little hotel that’s full of character is the perfect choice. In the sacred rooms and former monastery gardens, a quiet, almost reverent mood still dominates even today. The inwardly facing monastery architecture and the location slightly away from the center guarantee absolute rest and relaxation.
4 star hotel: Sacred rooms with all the mod-cons
The combination of monastic simplicity and high-quality amenities makes the Convento Aracena into a really special place. With a real feel for the spirit of the building, the rooms and guest rooms have been fitted out with all the latest mod-cons in a way that blends in perfectly. All of the rooms have LED TV with international channels, air conditioning and heating, hairdryer, toiletries, minibar and free WiFi. The junior suites offer a truly exceptional standard of living. Guests staying here have two storeys under a beautiful arched ceiling to spread out in: The bedroom with luxury bathroom is downstairs; the living room is upstairs and accessed via a staircase.
Historic hotel: Simple but stylish
Today’s 4-star hotel was formerly a monastery called Convento de Jesús María y José and was built in the 17th century. Both from the inside and from the outside, the Convento Aracena oozes historic charm. The interiors boast fantastic exposed stone walls, wood-beamed ceilings and brick vaulted ceilings. At the same time the furnishings are a nod to the simple monastic lifestyle, without compromising on modern standards of living.
Food & drink: Gourmet Spanish traditions
The culinary philosophy of the hotel fits perfectly with the overall concept and has been perfectly executed. The focus is on typical Spanish cuisine made to traditional recipes and from predominantly Iberian produce: Simple, homely and always fresh and delicious! The restaurant offers a rich breakfast buffet in the morning and an exquisite changing menu in the evening.
Sports & leisure: Hiking in the mountains & swimming in the courtyard
The Convento Aracena has a perfect location for hiking in the surrounding natural park of Sierra de Aracena and the foothills of the Picos de Aroche. When your legs are tired and you’ve soaked up as much countryside as you can, return to the hotel to take a dip in the outdoor pool or treat yourself to a reflexology massage at the hotel spa.
Location: Historic surroundings & small-town flair
The Convento Aracena has a quiet but central location in Aracena, a small town in the Spanish province of Huelva, about 200m from the site of the ruined castle of Aracena and its famous medieval church.
