Hotel Barcelo La Bobadilla

Facilities

• The pool at La Bobadilla is dreamy, a huge lagoon with a high-flying fountain in the middle and manicured lawns and gardens all around. About 50 palms trees are sprinkled about the place, making it a perfect place to chill out. Parasols and loungers are available and there’s a bar on hand to deliver the odd drink. (Note exterior swimming pool open the whole year but only monitored and with personal services from May to September from 10am to 7pm).
  
  
• There’s also a playground for kid’s and a shallow pool. You can play table tennis, archery or petanque in the shade of pine trees, or head for the tennis courts for a quick five-setter.
  
  
• Opulent 700m² spa with gymnasium, indoor heated swimming-pool, thermic loungers, Scottish showers with contrasting water temperatures, sauna, Turkish steam bath, hydro massage tubs, solarium, pediluvium (foot spa). Treatments can be taken in a private suite of two bath tubs with relaxing/stimulating hydromassage, including chromotherapy, seaweed, milk, grapes and Vichy shower
  
  
• The hotel sits in 350 hectares of grounds: bicycles, horse riding, quad bikes are all available for exploring.
  
  
• The central courtyard is wonderfully tranquil, a great place to sink into a smart wicker chair and watch life pass by. There are potted ferns and a small fountain in the middle. One side is made up of what looks like an old church (it's actually a function room).
  
  
• Indoors there's a huge lobby with piano concerts, reading lounge, TV lounge, bar, breakfast room, 2 restaurants (background music, flamenco in La Finca in summer); indoor swimming pool, fitness centre, sauna...

When to go?

Apri, May, June, September and October are the most pleasant months - warm and usually sunny. It's worth knowing that temperatures in July and August can hit 40 degrees. The large outdoor pool isn't heated but there is a small indoor pool for winter.
