3 Star
Nestled by a natural spring and a large lake, the Balneario de Corconte offers a glimpse into historical luxury with its 100-year-old spa facility.

Basic accommodation needs are met, making it a suitable place for rest, albeit with areas that could see improvement.

Although some of the services require enhancement, whereby aspects like outdated facilities and some levels of service need attention, the historic charm can still be appealing for those seeking a nostalgic experience.
