La Casa Grande

Wonderful hotel in Arcos. Every detail was lovely. We stayed for more than a week visiting family, and fell in love with the hotel and staff. The view is wonderful of course! The bed and pillows were so comfortable, we couldnt get out of bed. And don't miss the breakfast. It's a real treat. Thank everyone on the staff for a memorable stay.

Very quiet old mansion turned hotel with stunning views near the top of Arcos. We were very comfortable in La Casa Grande. Our room was the Penultima Room with doors that opened to the edge of the cliff. With our chairs and table by the open doors we could watch the birds swoop past and enjoy the gorgeous valley below. Old Arcos has several wonderful look outs at various locations, every street is picturesque and there are some good restaurantes in the area. We really enjoyed our stay and the lovely Casa Grande Hotel will is filled with art and collected items that are lend a homey and welcoming quality to the the public spaces and the rooms. Breakfasts are served in the morning (not a buffet) and are very good. The hotel has a lovely roof deck to enjoy warm days and the view. We got incorrect instructions to get there from the bus station. We were told to walk up to a plaza to catch the bus and this wasn’t necessary as we realized afterwards that those local buses go to the regional bus station. It was a long and difficult walk up to the plaza then the mini bus driver said no, when I asked he went to the top of Arcos. I guess he didn’t understand but a woman waiting for the bus understood so she told us to stay with her. She also knew where we should get off the bus as well. The streets in Arcos can be extremely narrow and cars cannot go along all the streets so we still had about a 2-3 block walk from the plaza where we disembarked to La Casa Grande but it was mostly downhill. When we left Arcos we arranged for a taxi and the taxi picked us up at the same little plaza. We had some memorable meals in Arcos and enjoyed the history and and views. Arcos is an enchanting town but not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Hilly is an understatement but it is absolutely delightful, very scenic, and the people were very kind and helpful.
