Hotel La Vella Farga, Lladurs

What’s advertised and what you actually get are two very different things.|Basic issues were handled poorly, promises were made and then reversed, and the way we were treated as paying guests was shocking. When problems arose, responsibility was avoided rather than taken.||This place may look beautiful, but the management and service behind it are deeply disappointing. We left feeling stressed, dismissed, and misled.||Would never return and would strongly advise others to think twice.

Wonderful location and truly a beautiful pristine location. Having lucked out with some great and snowy weather we truly enjoyed our stay here for a peaceful weekend in the Pyrenees. Simon and Leandro were wonderful hosts who truly went above and beyond to make us special. While forgetting her name our morning waitress was both kind and generous in her service. Not just the wonderful location but the service and great food would have me coming back. While there were minor inconveniences that make this a 4* at its highest, This is truly a hidden gem amongst the R&C collection considering the price and location. We had no expectations of perfection but the people who worked here smoothed over the few minor hiccups, such as no WiFi, a short time without hot water, and a menu that did not always have everything in stock. The owners should consider being more serious in both the rooms and the food as it would elevate the location and property to a 5*. What it lacks the people make up for it

This was, without exaggeration, the worst hotel experience we have ever had. We stayed at La Vella Farga on 6–7 December 2025 and were shocked by how far it falls from the standard it claims to represent. My partner asked for pescatarian food and we were told only meat was available — no alternatives, no effort to accommodate. The room smelled of stagnant water, and when we complained, the solution offered was to open a window and they gave us a candle. Then the bathtub leaked so badly that it flooded the room, soaking our belongings. Instead of fixing the issue, they said they had no rooms available. We were sent to a lower tier apartment hotel yet still charged for the night here. They promised compensation through dinner and an upgrade, but later rescinded it and told us to leave the hotel entirely. To say that this place failed at basic hospitality is an understatement. It was unprofessional, dismissive, and astonishingly poorly managed. Avoid if you value service, cleanliness, or respect. There are far better places in Spain that actually care about their guests.

Instead of fixing the issue or moving us to a comparable room, we were sent to a much lower tier apartment hotel but were still charged for the original room.||They promised an upgrade and compensation, but later revoked it and asked us to leave the property entirely.||This hotel failed at basic hospitality, service recovery, and cleanliness.|For the price they charge, this was unacceptable.|We strongly advise avoiding this property.

Avoid at all costs!! This place sells itself as luxury but behaves like a bad hostel. Room smelled like sewage, the bathroom flooded and ruined our things, staff moved us to a cheaper place but still charged full price, then threw us out after promising compensation. Even the refund didn’t match what we paid. Shocking management. The worst hospitality experience we’ve ever had.

What we got here was bait-and-switch hospitality: no pescatarian food, a room that smelled like rot, a bathroom leak that soaked our belongings, and a forced move to a downgraded place while still charging the premium rate. They even kicked us out and the refund didn’t cover what we paid. Beautiful building, disgraceful management. Stay away.

Me and my partner stayed last weekend in Hotel La Vella Farga. A beautiful place in a beautiful natura location. For the price you pay there are definately some big points of improvement that I would like to feedback on. * I am pregnant and we told the restaurant in advance as there was a set valentines menu. They came 4x with the wrong dish, that was either containing alcohol or raw fish / meat and they brought me a cava and the wine menu twice. Even though I specifically mentioned at each course and at the beginning of dinner that I could not eat or drink those things. For a restaurant asking 90euro for a menu pp. you expect that both the waiter and kitchen know what to serve a pregnant lady. The food itself was undercooked, cold and we left most of the dishes half eaten as the quality was just not good at all. We were very dissapointed. * The second night we had a regular meal in the restaurant. Also not great in quality. We had some pan con tomate with jamon to share (Tasty) and 2 main dishes (not so great), a desert to share and water to drink + 1 coca cola (no alcohol), we paid 173,- which is an outrageaous amount considering the main courses were 35 euros each and small. * For the restaurant a tip to dim the lights and to play some music that fits the mood as the music was often too soft (you could not here it) or pop songs which made it a bit of an awkward setting. * The Breakfast was great! Lots of options and good quality. Amazing staff. * We booked the apartment room which was beautiful, however the TV did not have any international channels nor was netflix working, that would have been a nice extra for a high end room. * The sofa arm rests were broken in the livingroom of our room * No towel hook next to the shower (would be nice) * We booked a massage which itself was great, but the music was playing from an iphone without any speaker which is a bit amateuristic. Also the bright lights from the bathroom were on which made it less calming as they were shining in your face while having a massage. The massage itself was great and the staff very kind Overall Its a beautful place, the staff and reception were very kind and helpfull but we were very dissapointent on the restaurant in the hotel and the price that was asked for the full expeience. We spend a lot of money for a special ocassion which just did not feel worth the experience if you put everything together. The place has a great potential to make some small improvements to deliver what guests would expect.

The settings and the hotel itself are absolutely beautiful, in a very remote and quiet location. The service at check-in was friendly and perfect, we were served a glass of Cava and had a walk around the hotel grounds while our luggage was being taken to our room.|Dinner at the hotel restaurant was very good. Vegetarians however should bear in mind that there are very limited vegetarian options. The service was slow but that was possibly because, unlike the other guests, we decided to sit outside on the terrace, enjoying a very romantic moonrise and watching row deer graze peacefully right under the terrace. |The room itself was very spacious and really beautiful (we were staying in Martí). The only downside was that the bathroom part only has a sliding transparent glass door, and the separate toilet cubicle in the bathroom also has a transparent glass door, which we found very unusual and strange. That means having no possible privacy at all.|Breakfast was served near the swimming-pool. It was good but not exceptional. The waitress talked to in a very harsh manner on our first morning, but we believe it may just have been a language issue, because she insisted on speaking to us in English (which my husband does not speak). When we managed to make her understand that Spanish was way better for everyone, things were easier and she was friendlier on the second morning.|Breakfast is served until 11.00 am but they do not replenish so it is better to arrive earlier rather than later.|All in all, we had a very enjoyable stay. The lady at the reception desk was extremely lovely and helpful in every way and allowed us to check out a bit later, which we really appreciated.|In spite of the few issues mentioned above, I would definitely recommend La Vella Farga for a relaxing and/or romantic escape.
