LA FONDA BARRANCO ^{* *}

Very charming place in great location. Beautiful rooftop terrace, too. Service is excellent and staff very friendly.

This property is exactly the boutique hotel I hoped to stay at in Jerez. The location in the historic old town is perfect walking distance from the Cathedral, Hamam, several bodegas, and Plaza Plateros, which is where I spent the majority of my time lounging and people-watching at the cafes, tobancos, and fine restaurants in the area. Virginia's recommendations for food, wine, and sightseeing in the old town and greater region were all spectacular, and those locations are all places I would recommend to others.

Her hospitality, and that of everyone at the property, was perfect for what I wanted: a week to unplug, disconnect, and explore all the old town had to offer. The honesty bar was refreshing and convenient, and the vibe was quiet and communal. The no-TV approach is something I can get behind; more properties should do this, and the Wi-Fi was strong enough for a 30-minute Zoom meeting on the rooftop terrace with a view of the cathedral.

Parking is available at an underground around the corner, but it's a tight squeeze for an SUV, so if you like to roll with big wheels, keep that in mind; this is an old historic zone, not Orlando. I was lucky enough to experience Carnival here, which is unique and very different from what I saw in Cadiz, which has its charm.

The municipality is still mostly comprised of Spaniards, which made the experience so much more fun, and the vibe almost always feels hyper-local and authentic in a way you cannot capture in most urban areas of Spain anymore, which is understandable. Most of Spain is fantastic.

I initially thought a week in Jerez may be too long, but it's possible it wasn't long enough. I recommend this property, and I will return.

Zeer goed verzorgd hotel en een ontzettend lieve eigenaresse. Niets is haar te veel en ze wil je bij alles helpen.

Un hotel con encanto excelente trato por parte de las personas que lo llevan atentos a todo.
Situacion excelente para visitar Jerez.

Fantastic hotel in heart of Jerez. Our host could not be more helpful and friendly. Loved the inner atrium as well as rooftop terrace. Definitely one to recommend
