Pensión Chiki

Castellón Province


Right in the old town, this place has seven spotless, modern rooms with views and a genuine welcome. The nearby church chimes tinnily from 8am. It's homey, cosy and the price is right. From March to October it has an attractive restaurant with a great-value three-course menú. The friendly owner isn't always here, so ring ahead.
