Ardea Purpurea Hotel Lodge & Restaurant

brilliant architecture and interior design, quality of the restaurant and breakfast, friendliness of the staff

A great stay, as always. A very comfortable cottage, a good restaurant, friendly staff and set in lovely grounds. Ideal for exploring Doñana. Recommended.

dinner was excellent. stayed here 3 years ago as well, and food was just as great as then. quietness is nice in the big garden.waiter was really nice guy and worked his *** off

we had the little round house in the garden close to the pool, which needs an update. flyscreens are torn or dont fit. couch smelt stale, as did the matress.leaving before 8 means not being able to eat breakfast. they offer a 'picknick' (which is nice obviously), but that was as basic as could be (think they bought it at the closest gasstation).alltogether; didnt meet our expectations

The food was really excellent and the staff helpful and friendly. Very good to get a packed meal on the day we went out early.

Being on the edge of the Doñana National Park made this a very special stay. Nature all around with gorgeous birds coming up close and even saw a lynx! Went on a brilliant bird tour deep into the park.upgraded to a larger cottage with two sofas and three bedrooms. Small but very comfortable bedroom. the restaurant is a treat and incredibly popular especially at weekends.

The bathroom was a bit tired and not really up to the standard you expect for the cost.Whilst we were there a family ignored all the regulations about noise and ball playing etc. I think regulations re use of poll and grounds should be on the interesting notes sent to guests. This is not really a child friendly hotel and maybe the management should consider a child age restriction for stays if they want to retain the hotel's unique peace and link with nature.

An absolute oasis in the middle of nowhere, perfect for accessing El Rocio and Donana only half an hour away, food was excellent, I had to check out before breakfast, so they gave me a packed lunch. Grounds are well kept, pool was lovely, lots of wildlife about, even has its own lake!

I only booked 1 night

Great place to stay, surrounded with a beautiful landscape.Quality food.Good base also to visit Sevilla, 40minutes away

everything ok

The setting was beautiful and we were reminded of an African safari. Just missing the animals. Beautiful food for dinner. Junior suite was lovely. Pool area was very quiet and relaxing.

The spa bath in the room was lovely but the wall tiles could do with a bit of a scrub. Not a good selection of toiletries and breakfast was a little sparse for the price. Dinner was a little overpriced but good and the sample of cherry liquor was beautiful.

Beautiful, spacious accommodation with a lovely green garden. Wonderful pool and comfortable sunbeds. Extremely hygienic. Great view from the room. Nice shampoo and shower gel provided. Very friendly staff. The chic restaurant sometimes felt a bit "over the top," but the quality was good. Located on the edge of the stunning Doñana National Park! Tip: Book a local guide for a private tour to search for the Iberian lynx, such as DonanaWings or Ojosdedonana.

Little to complain about. Tip: place a kettle in the room. As birdwatchers, we went out early every day, so the ability to make coffee ourselves would have been nice since breakfast starts later.

Beuatiful cottages, tranquil atmosphere, great restaurant

The kitchen in the cottages was not very well equipped

Really charming, rustic style hotel with a small but lovely pool area. The food was excellent and the restaurant staff extraordinary. Big thank you to lovely Cosima (not sure that was her name!) serving breakfast and lunch, for accommodating my special diet and for being so so so nice.Mari Carmen at reception was also lovely and really helpful.The hotel sent us an email before arrival with suggestions for things to do which i found very useful. We did the horse riding and really enjoyed it. Also visited Italica, which i didn't know was in the area but it was mentioned in the information email sent by the hotel.

I didn't like the mosquitos! Although not the hotel's fault, obviously. The rooms were very clean and had a charming balcony facing a lake with ducks which was lovely to look at but the water and greenery attracted all kinds of insects.I'm allergic to mosquito bites, so I brought with me repellent spray and electrical plug, and that worked.

I liked the sympathy of the employees.The restaurant was amazing

The noise of the air conditioning

Setting was perfect The igloo hut was fantastic,warm comfortable and quiet

The restaurant was supposed to be Michelin standard but was not very good at all The food was substandard and just not very good Apart from the restaurant everything else was really good

Excellent grounds/garden environment. Lovely diiner.

Breakfast a little disappointing. A kettle in the room would be good.

We love the cottages and particularly liked the one we had this time which provided us with peace and tranquility in the beautiful grounds, whilst being close to the hotel and its really good restaurant. Very nice staff. We have stayed here several times before and will do so again. Recommended.A great place to relax. Great birdwatching at the Dehesa de Abajo, the rice fields nearby and at El Rocio, which never fails to amaze.

The cottage was very cold when we arrived in December. Bearing in mind we were asked for (and we confirmed) our time of arrival, it would would have been a nice thought to have put the heating on a couple of hours beforehand, as it took a long time to warm the cottage up.

Staff, restaurant, bungalow, pool, Safari feel

No playpark for kids (slide, swings), shower cold couple nights, ants nest in kitchen

Wonderful quiet place to relax, very good food and not expemsive in the restaurant

Was not a hairdryer in the room

Quiet and natural surroundings, plus the restaurant on site (inc in Michelin guide for multiple years)

Breakfast every day the same

the staff very kind and helpful. I enjoyed the breakfast with typical products. excellent size of the room and cleanliness. Although the swimming pool is not large, it is located in the middle of the greenery, an oasis of peace

The only problem is that if you have the room near the restaurant you hear the noises of the diners, including children until 01:00 at night and that if the pool hosts 5 couples with children playing ball and diving, which is forbidden , is no longer an oasis of peace

The pool is perfect, a shallow part for young kids and deeper part as well, clean and refreshing water.Bungalows have everything you need, separate quiet AC units in every room.The restaurant is open and dinner and breakfast are served, good quality and plenty of options for everyone and for kids they accept the kid wishes.Area is quiet and surrounding is good for a walking trip, we took 10 circle at first towards to the river and then back through the village, where we found a local bar to serve refreshing drinks and then back to the hotel.
