5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, intimate, historic inns!!, February 28, 2001

By	Robyn Benensohn (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Special Places to Stay Spain & Portugal (Paperback)

We stayed in 6 of his recommendations in Spain. Every one of them was unique - from an old gold mining mansion in Don Quixote country, to a mansion overlooking a castle - some off-the-beaten-track locations that we never would have seen with a regular guidebook. These are places most tourists don't know about. We planned our 2 week driving trip around the inns he suggested, and found them to be the highlight of our trip!! We're using these books every time we travel in Europe!!! The maps are great too!!

5.0 out of 5 stars What was (s)he looking at?, August 6, 2002

By	Richard Nauen (Silver Spring, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I don't know what the previous reviewer (05/12/01) was looking at, but it most certainly wasn't this book, which is filled with pictures! Two in color for every place listed, the larger being an exterior view and the smaller an interior view or a view from a window looking out. Another great feature of this book is the Spanish and Portuguese form letters for making reservations--most helpful. I'm already planning to use both the British and French Bed & Breakfast editions; now I'll have to find time for a trip to the Iberian Peninsula also.
