I came to Castle Elvira to attend a friend's wedding. I was shocked to read a previous one-star review that specifically mentioned the facilities and staff. I have never stayed in a more romantic, beautiful place! The owners are so kind-I especially enjoyed learning about the original artworks. The staff were so courteous and attentive - the front desk was reachable 24hrs/day via WhatsApp; messages were answered promptly, and the staff were able to accommodate a last-minute request to have my nails done. The food is AMAZING and the wait staff also accommodated special requests. The wedding setup was absolutely beautiful. The accommodations are FABULOUS with plush, comfortable beds, complimentary robes/slippers, a large bathroom with a tub/shower, AND an outdoor tub/shower. Each room was more breathtaking than the next. I would definitely stay here again if I have the chance!
