We have stayed at this hotel several times and it is very good as a three star because it has a super garden and pool area and large, lovely outdoor pool. It is in a semi rural area on the outskirts of Rute town but many places of interest, including Cordoba itself are very accessible. This time and without our having been informed in advance, the pool and surrounding areas were closed for maintenance so we could not use them throughout our stay. As it was very hot, and there are no other nearby facilities, this was really disappointing for us. However the hotel itself, bar and dining facilities are good and it would not stop us staying again providing the pool and gardens were definitely open.
