Hotel Rural la Vida de Antes

Wonderful hotel, very quirky and lovely. We had to ring the bell for reception and access was given immediately. Staff very friendly and helpful. It made a nice change to have a proper key for the room and also for the entrance to the hotel, instead of credit card style keys. We stayed in the Gigantes room, which was accessed by going out into the courtyard and up a small flight of stairs. The room was very spacious and had a coffee machine and microwave and we also had views of some of the windmills from one or two of our windows. The windmills and castle are within walking distance, albeit a steep climb! The castle is well worth visiting and the windmills look idyllic, although we didn’t go into the working one. We chose to park on the road just outside the hotel as the roads are not too narrow and it all felt very safe. Breakfast was included which was a good continental style collection. There was no one about when we first arrived for breakfast so we just started helping ourselves and a lady came in sometime after to check which room we were in and to check everything was ok. When we checked out, there was no one on the desk so we just left the keys as we didn’t owe anything. We actually found this all to be quite quaint and no problem at all. There are telephone numbers provided if you need to speak to someone when the reception is unmanned. We found our whole stay in Consuegra very relaxing and it was lovely to be woken by the birdsong in the courtyard.

Super recommended La vida de antes was a super nice hotel, very quiet, very clean, BEAUTIFUL! The customer service was amazing. Gema and Paula were very helpful and they explained everything!! Very nice stay with my baby.

Charming hotel in old landhouse. It’ s beautiful inside. It had a little garden and swimmingpool. The service is very friendly. There’s a good restaurant inside the hotel. (Another owner). The breakfast was excellent. You can park your car secured at the end of te street.

Beautiful interior The Beautiful interior of this hotel is just wonderful. We were very lucky as we stayed during a very quiet winter period so we’re able to advantage of the setting. Lovely bedroom with en-suite, bed very comfortable. Coffee machine and kettle on the first floor area with a choice of teas. We had breakfast included which was very good and plentiful. Very quiet town only a few minutes walk away.

We had to go up 2 flights of stairs with no elevator. No big deal for me but for other people it may be difficult. No cafeterias or restautants open in toew until 8:00pm. No place to eat.

This unique converted farmhouse had the feeling of a small historic family palacio. The building was constructed around 2 private internal courtyards…the open air courtyard having a private swimming pool. My accommodation ( called “La despensa”) had a small living room area and a large bedroom. It was very comfortable, clean and quiet. It has to be said that Consuegra itself is not a large town but I am happy to have stayed 2 nights to have a full day there to enjoy the castle and windmills. The Wifi was a bit unreliable at times but this was not a big problem for me. The breakfast was good with variety of cold selections. Yogurts, fruits, meats and cheeses etc. The hotel is very centrally located and a few minutes walk to the main square Plaza Espana. It is not a busy square but there is a choice of bars and restaurants in the surrounding streets. Altogether, a great hotel to stay with it’s small “palacio” feel about it.
