Jardines de Lorca

Murcia Province


A short walk from the centre, and handy for bus and train stations, this large complex has something of a resort feel. Its spacious rooms are comfortable and marble-tiled, though there's some echoing noise from passageways. They come with a balcony. Facilities are excellent, including a spa, summer-only pool, gym and tennis courts. Prices are variable but very reasonable.
