Best spot in Avila
Amazing Stay!
The staff at Avila La Fonda Hotel were incredible—so friendly and welcoming. We loved the homemade croissants in the morning and the pie and ice cream in the evening. Beautiful rooms just steps from the beach, with great food spots nearby. Highly recommend!

Nice enough Hotel, but nothing to write home about
nicer old hotel, but grossly overpriced. Kind of sums up California. You’re paying for the Location a few blocks from the beach.

Great service and they have 4 different services throughout the day from breakfast to pie it was excellent. They also have a gift basket waiting in the room as well as a gift on departure. Great location near beach and restaurants. A bit outdated, but that gives it certain charm.

This little hotel is such a gem in the quaint little sleepy beach city of Avila. We stayed for our 21st wedding anniversary and loved it. Every part of it. All the extra little treats for guests throughout the day and how it felt like a little community. Your staff is so friendly too!
The only complaint I have is that the only good lighting to put makeup on is in the bathroom and I’m only 5 feet tall and the mirrors are so high that I had to stand on my tippy toes to put makeup on haha. If we can lower it an inch or two, we’d be golden. It’s more of a “me” problem though, that’s why I didn’t deduct any stars.
Thank you so much for the hospitality and all the extra little perks we received. We’ll definitely be back!

This is such a little gem. Quaint and charming Spanish decor. Only one half block to the beach. Free happy hour, coffee and pastries and late night pie with ice cream. Plus a complementary basket of goodies upon arrival. I could not recommend this place more. It’s adults only so very quiet and peaceful.

The Room was exceptional and cozy with a fireplace to ensure a comfortable night’s sleep, and I appreciated small touches like the gift basket we received from the onset.
One of the highlights of my stay was amenities provided such as the cocktail hour and pie in the evening. And lest I forget the croissants in the morning, rivaled those from Paris!
Overall, my experience at the hotel exceeded all expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for romantic getaway. I’ll definitely be returning for my next trip!
