Our take
Hotel Arco San Vicente is about position and atmosphere rather than facilities: classic rooms, many with wall views, inside Ávila's old town, a short walk from the cathedral and the Basilica of San Vicente. I would book it for a winter weekend, with an evening by the café fireplace and tapas with local wine in the tavern bar. For a day in the Sierra de Gredos you will need a car. The 7.8 score fits a simple two-star hotel.
- ✓Demandez une chambre avec vue sur les remparts pour une expérience mémorable de la ville.
- ✓Profitez du café de l'hôtel avec sa cheminée pour un moment de détente après vos visites.
- ✓Goûtez aux tapas et aux vins locaux au bar de style taverne pour une immersion culinaire.

Why guests love itHotel Arco San Vicente is a two-star hotel in Ávila's old town, with classic rooms and many windows facing the city walls. Families can walk to Ávila Cathedral and the Basilica of San Vicente, then warm up in the café with its fireplace. The tavern-style bar serves tapas and local wines, and Wi-Fi is free. The Sierra de Gredos is a drive away for a nature day. Rated 7.8 from 1,196 reviews, I see it as a simple, well-placed base.
