Peace in nature
We had a great stay! The place is beautifully kept, spacious and quiet and perfect for peacefully connecting with nature. The staff are amenable and helped us with a range of activities on offer. Our meal at the restaurant was superb. The bungalow itself was lovely also, the only thing we missed was having tea/coffee provisions in the kitchenette, although there was a reasonably priced cold drinks minibar fridge. The kids loved seeing the friendly ducks wandering right past, the horse-riding and a mini-hike in the surrounding woods.

Really good country property. Facilities were good and the food also. The staff were helpful but you need to speak some Spanish . We stayed in the Igloo which was charming. My only feedback would be a better shower head one you can adjust.

Hidden gem
We loved our two days at Ardea Purpurea Lodge. You pass a kind of industrial area that does not look good, but then arrives at this haven of peace, comfort and goodwill. The service is absolutely excellent, even though the main staff member with whom we dealt spoke no English. He and I managed just fine between my (basically non-existant) Spanish and his (basically non-existent) English, aided by lots of gestures, a translation app and eagerly friendly cooperation. The architecture and furnishings are unique and convey coolness and comfort. We never even used the air-conditioning. We stayed here and travelled into Seville every day. Even though it is a 45 minute trip, I would recommend it for the winding down aura of the lodge. The waiter moved tables onto the lawn every evening for a delicious meal in the open. The gardens are also lovely, once again uniquely designed, and there are chairs on the patio of each room for a peaceful drink in nature. Altogether a highly recommended experience and amazing value.

A nice rural hotel
The hotel is set in wonderful grounds and the rooms are clearly designed for warmer weather so our stay over a cooler period meant that the room heating left a bit to be desired Food and service in the restaurant was excellent and the staff were all most helpful. We would certainly come back again.

Great place to get a taste of the real Andalusia.
The hotel could best be described as Rustic, in total keeping with its rural location on the edge of the National Park. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room and common areas were very well maintained. The food was excellent. Not a place to go for pampering, but an excellent location to get a sense of real Andalusian life and culture.

Peaceful and relaxing.
This is a wonderful place to stay; so peaceful and relaxing. The rooms are rustic in design but comfortable and welcoming. The staff are brilliant- very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included and it was very good with plenty of choice. We stayed here as we were visiting Donana National Park, based on our experience at this hotel we are intending to visit again but next time stay a little longer.

A lovely and friendly place out in the countryside
This is a lovely and friendly place out in the countryside with a lake for pasing birds and nice quite sizeable freshwater pool for guests (though only a small section is deep enough for swimming so more suitable for a quick dip). We stayed on a very attractively-priced half board deal rate which including a good and varied (less so for desserts than starters and mains) 3 course menu with 3 choices per course. Quite recently built but in an attractive traditional style so not for those who like an American-style sterile environment though well equipped with lovely terraces and other sitting out areas.

Beautilful experience, just like being in Africa.
Great hotel in Donana Natur park. It was just like coming to a hotel in Africa. The layout the style of the hotel, everything in wood and natural materials. Gerat big rooms with own terrace and nice location of duck in the garden. The only thing missing for winter stay was a thick cover. The staff very helpfull and kind, very good service and a fantastic style of the hotel.

Incredible place
Ardea Purpurea is one on its own! Incredible attention to detail in the design of the buildings, superb and idiosyncratic sculptures in the public areas, it has a real eco / natural feel to it. Very quiet location, set in its own grounds, lots of character. We stayed for four nights, which really tested the limits of the menu as I have a food allergy. Good regional dishes, some quirky (a 'salad' turned out to be a huge plate of brown shrimps topped with red peppers) and the english translations can't be relied upon. If it hadn't been for Rosa, who served us in the restaurant, we would have struggled. Because of the location there are not other restaurants nearby. If you're looking for a one or two night stay at a really unusual hotel and/or you have good spanish, I'd recommend it whole heartedly. I'm glad we stayed here, but I'm not sure we'd make a return visit.

Prachtig aangelegd park praktisch middenin de natuur. Sevilla en Donana makkelijk te bereiken. Eten en ontbijt is heerlijk. De keuze is prima, je krijgt verse koffie, sap en de keuken maakt eieren zoals jij dat wilt. In het weekend met lunch vol met locals, super gezellig. Uitrusting huisje kan beter, geen waterkoker of koffiemachine. Alleen een pan om water te koken voelt icm de rest van het prachtige huisje wat karig. Fohn verkrijgbaar bij receptie. Ze geven je alle informatie die je wilt, super vriendelijk!

We hadden 2 nachten om lekker uit te rusten aan zwembad in een mooie bosrijke omgeving met een goede keuken terplaatse. Onze verwachtingen werden volledig ingelost. Dinner pas vanaf 20:30, wel lunch tot 14:00. We hadden de iglo geboekt met zicht op zwembad. Mogelijkheid in om te wandelen en fietsen in het natuurpark

Wel leuk maar niet voor herhaling vatbaar.
Bij aankomst (we kwamen aan op zaterdag) zat niemand bij de receptie. We moesten zelf iemand gaan zoeken in het restaurant. Deze mijnheer sprak nauwelijks een woord engels en we kregen vlug de sleutel. Ook later tijdens het verblijf was niemand bij de receptie om iets te vragen. Het personeel had het veel te druk met de restaurantgasten. Jammer want je mag verwachten dat de hotelgasten er ook toe doen. We hadden een huisje. Deze was wel heel leuk en het restaurant bij de accommodatie was ook goed. Het ontbijt daarentegen was heel mager.

Dear Mr or Mss, I´m sorry because nobody was in the reception. I suppose I was having lunch at this moment and the rest of the days I´m in reception everyday. Anyway, is a letter that explain that, if nodoby is in the recepction, they your attend in the restaurant. The breakfast sparse... do you have in buffet natural orange juice, toast for bread, sweets, ham, chorizo, cheese, tomato, sausage, corn flakes and they serve you in the table the coffee or tea; Also you can ask for a omelette or fried eggs or scrambled and they prepare in the kintchen. Kind regards.
