Hotel Sonsoles Ávila
About this hotel
Hotel Sonsoles Ávila sits on the edge of the granite plateau just outside the city, close enough to the eleventh-century walls for an easy drive in but far enough to trade the old town's stone streets for lawns, a golf course and an outdoor pool. The grounds are the draw here: gardens wrap the property, the restaurant and café look out over open space rather than a street, and the golf course tagged to this stay starts within a few kilometres, giving early risers a round before the day-trip crowds reach the ramparts. Rooms are straightforward and comfortable, with family options and the standard four-star amenities, but the setting is what separates this property from a hotel inside the walls: quiet, green and built around the course and the pool rather than the cathedral square.
