Our favourite retreat in Huelva is the Hacienda Montija. Not just because of where it is and what it is, but because it lends itself to our preferences. Normally, we stay here out of high season, but this time it happened to be just within high season. You can probably blame that on a combination of opportunity and Covid restrictions. The pools are only open for four months in the year, although the jacuzzi is open for longer, but they are set within an attractive area to the side of the hotel. The sunshades and loungers are surrounded by well-tended lawns which give just the right degree of separation from the pools and jacuzzi. All in all, a very relaxing area. When you have had your fill of the gardens and pools you can retire to the cool of the atrium inside, or, sit out on your own private terrace, available to each of the guests occupying, I think, bedrooms nos. 15 to 20, plus the principal suite. Thanks for reading this and if you've found it helpful I'd appreciate a ‘thumbs up’ below.
