10/10 Excellent
"We had such a wonderful 5 night stay as a family of 4 at El Silencio de Campo. It was nice that every room was its own villa. The property is lovely and nicely sized but not so large that it was overwhelming. My kids milked a cow at their farm and enjoying seeing all the animals (horses, mini horses, chickens and other fowl, cows, and a pig). The hot springs were nice - it’s not a huge complex of hot springs like the nearby big resorts but I found it to be sufficient for us. The restaurant was good (much better than I expected being a hotel restaurant) and we really enjoyed it. The staff are so friendly and willing to help. They were all so kind. I would gladly come back in the future!"
