Hotels with Hot tubs in La Carlota

Our booked apartment in Cordoba had issues and upon arrival we decided not to stay there. We decided to stay out of Cordoba and drive in for the day to see the historical sites. We found this apartment 25 minutes outside Cordoba for half of what we were going to pay for the cancelled flat in Cordoba. We found a charming, hospitable owner, Juan, greeting us and showing us the apartment. It was a two bedroom with extensive amenities in a spa setting with pool, a small balcony, and well groomed backyard. The small town featured old fashioned grocery stores and a good restaurant. We parked right outside the unit and had a wonderful time. We learned something here: we can do a lot better with stays in the countryside near a major tourist town and driving into tourist towns for the day. Park at a city center parking for the day and do the site seeing and later drive back to a quiet country setting to retire for the day. Unlike our stays in Seville, Granada and Other major Spanish towns, we actually got a quiet night of sleep and heard birds in the early mornings. When we asked for a tea kettle, Juan went and bought a new one. When we asked for where we could get a few eggs to make some pancakes, he gave us eggs and would not take payment for it. Everywhere else we stayed during this trip, we were just another customer and all we got was the fleeting attention and the long wait to get a text reply. With Juan and his team we received an authentic human connection and interest to make sure we enjoyed our stay. He managed to make a great impression even if he had to communicate with a translator app and a big smile. What a lovely man and a wonderful stay, the best of all the nine stays we had in Spain.
