Casa Astarita

I had a lovely stay at Casa Astarita. I was there in early February, and the bright, clean and cheery room was just perfect. The owners have thought of everything - the room was stocked and the breakfasts were delicious and they had recommendations for other restaurants and places in the area. Wonderful place:)

This place was recommended by my guidebook so we gave it a try and enjoyed it! Great central location, easy walk from the train station and the beach and right in the middle of all of the shopping and dining. The staff were very communicative and friendly. The afternoon check in was easy, was able to text from my US number about arrival times. The morning breakfast was delicious. The entire little hotel is adorable, brightly colored with tile. We had one of the rooms facing the mountains in the back and got a great view of the thunder, lightning, and hail that hit our first afternoon! The room was comfortable. The only downside was very low water pressure in the shower. As with most smaller places like this in old buildings it’s not a silent experience, but that’s always the trade off for a charming experience. Bring your ear plugs to sleep through noisy co-guests late at night or early in the morning or ask specifically for one of the rooms not right off the dining area, though that will only help so much. We did appreciate that they let us leave our bags the next morning while we went to the beach, but know that staff aren’t around all day so you have to plan around that if you want to leave bags. They had a spare set of keys for the first group leaving bags so we were able to tag in with them to pick up our bags. Overall a great experience!
