We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mont Sant! The photos do not do it justice. The rooms are spread out and situated within lush foliage (bamboo, fruit trees, flowers, ferns, and much more) so that they seem very private and secluded. The hotel sits part way up a large incline that leads to a castle fortress. You can walk or bike the path to the castle (recommend sneakers and water) or drive. The castle lies along a self-guided walking path that continues down the incline, past the hotel, and down into the city. There are guideposts along the way with interesting formation about local historical sites. The hotel itself is beautiful and offers gorgeous views overlooking the city. If you want to go down into the city, I do recommend driving or getting a cab, however, as it is not that close to restaurants and shopping. We ended up eating at the hotel for breakfast and diner each day. Breakfast was a lovely buffet in a pretty, quiet glassed-in room. We had dinner out on the patio at the restaurant and had zero complaints - everything was very tasty! There is a lovely pool on site as well with several lounge chairs - it never got crowded while we were there. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. The WiFi worked well and the rooms were clean, with nice shower facilities. Overall,no complaints and one of our favorite stays on our trip

Pretty properly nice rooms. Bad breakfast.

It is very calm and peaceful and popular. Placed slightly up the hill it can get wearing walking into town. The restaurant is very popular and for good reason. Do book in advance. They had two big parties in the marquees but I didn’t even notice. All the guests are very well behaved and the rooms very private and I often felt I was the only one there. One thing that would have improved it for me is a small room, a reading room or something where I could have had a coffee and read a book. If it had been warmer and sunny it would have been easy to find a place on the many terraces outside but it wasn’t and inside all tables were taken for lunch, I said it was popular! I was there in February so it’s probably not a common request. It’s a really nice gentle hotel which takes pride in its uniqueness.

It was one of the best historic hotels we have ever stayed at. Beautifully renovated preserving some of the original features. It is walking distance to the castle and the downtown. The surrounding is like a botanical garden with citrus orchards and olive trees. Breakfast by satisfactory too. Highly recommended. Xàtiva is a fabulous small town.

Beautiful gardens, stunning scenery viewed from the terraces

Staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was any trouble for them. We found the rooms we stayed in a little dark but they were comfortable and the air conditioning was great. Breakfast was ok- you had to help yourself and the hot food was lukewarm at best. The landscaping around the hotel was beautiful but would have been difficult to navigate for anyone with mobility problems.

Third time staying in the suite with the private pool, it’s a magical little hotel with a excellent service & great accommodation

This is the second time I’ve stayed at the hotel & we had the suite with private pool both time & it was just as excellent as the first time. The hotel is magical with all the walkways through the garden & the lovely main building of the house. The food was excellent, staff efficient & very friendly, the town is a15 minute walk away & very nice too. We will be back!

Great hotel. lovely setting, no complaints

overpriced for the quality provided

The hotel is fast becoming iconic. The grounds are incredible. Summer and winter it’s a totally different experience but equally worth while. Highly recommended

Have wanted to stay at this hotel for a few years & the wait was worth it! We had the suite with the garden & private pool & it was excellent. Inside the suite had two bathrooms, a large separate longe & enormous bedroom with a super king size bed & another seating area. The outside with the pool was very private & had a shaded sitting area as well as landscaped garden. The whole hotel had a secret garden feel & was quiet magical. The staff were friendly & efficient & try to help all the time, breakfast & dinner were excellent. Will definitely be back

Too few staff, purchasing water or a drink outside of mealtimes was not possible and with an empty minibar. Was disappointed as had come from Valencia where a seal to the minibar allowed us to use the fridge for water or soft drinks. it was apparent that the staff were under pressure and could not cope, such a shame as the location and food was excellent
