Olite is a town and municipality located in the province of Navarre, northern Spain. According to Isidore of Seville's, the town of Oligicus was founded by Swinthila, Visigothic King of Hispania in order to control and punish the Vascones. However, this town was not heard of again until five centuries later, when the present-day town was founded and chartered. The Palacio Real de Olite, a fine Gothic castle-palace, was the royal seat of Charles III of Navarre.

Thought to be founded in the 7C, Olite is famous for its iconic 15C castle, as well its excellent local wines.

I planned a trip for a small trio of girlfriends. We were very pleased with our trip to Europe, and your site is what made it such a smooth and easy process for me to select our hotels. Our hotels were all decent and all went well. We will be using your site again in the future as it was very helpful!

We had a great holiday and congratulate you on the way in which you organised this holiday for us. The vast majority of hotels were absolutely excellent. We would certainly use your service again and will be happy to recommend you without reservations. We are hoping to book another holiday with you later in the year.
