Restaurant Manager 

Luxury Rural Hotel | Relais & Châteaux/Spain

About the Property

We are a small luxury rural hotel in Spain where gastronomy, personalised service and a strong sense of place are at the heart of the guest experience.

Our restaurant is an integral part of the hotel and its identity. We believe in warm, genuine hospitality rather than formality for its own sake, combining high standards with a relaxed and personal approach.

Our size allows us to know our guests individually and to create experiences that feel authentic, thoughtful and memorable. We work closely as one team across the hotel and restaurant, with a shared commitment to quality, attention to detail and continuous improvement.

We are looking for a Restaurant Manager who shares these values and who wants to play an important role in the continued development of our restaurant and guest experience, as an integral part of La Torre del Visco project.

We place considerable importance on the person behind the CV therefore a background in hospitality would be valuable but not necessarily essential.

This position may suit someone with management experience and a passion for gastronomy interested in a career change and a greater quality of life surrounded by nature.
