A fabulous hotel on top of an historical village.
We stayed in room 16. A nice bottle of complimentary rioja wine was waiting for us. Just perfect on decoration, confort and cleanliness. Every night a little home made bag of cookies were left with a fresh flower.
The restaurant is amazing and a must. Breakfast is also a feast with local and fresh products.
The team is just wonderful, professional and extremely friendly. Always a smile and very helpful. Maria was a top hostess and she showed us around the place and the great cave!
We can only highly recommend this place.
We will return.

Beautiful recently renovated hotel set in a centuries old mansion built into the 11th century wall of a quaint medieval village (current population about 7-800 people). 1 block walk from the village square and stunning views from the 2nd / 3 floors (common terrace on the 3rd floor (listed as 2nd floor since ground level is "zero" in many European hotels). Lovely staff and magnificent restaurant. Had lunch in their wine cellar which was fantastic.

It was a perfect stay in a beautiful, medieval town in a wonderfully restored property. Host was great and gave us private tour of the renovation. Would definitely recommend.

In all aspects it was amazing, only the mattress and pillows were not the best. Specialry pillows. And mattress too soft.

Nice newly renovated hotel in old manor house. Excellent breakfast and nice small city with structures from medieval times. Close and convenient location for visiting many Rioja wineries with tasting options. Driving on narrow and steep streets can be challenging at times so go slow.

Stunning hotel in the middle of a medieval city. The rooms were spacious and beautiful and the bed is probably the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on in any hotel! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful directing us to wineries and other activities in the area, and the breakfast was the best we experienced in Spain. Can’t say enough good things!

Lovely hotel with a charming surrounding and hospitable staff. I'm glad we booked the Junior studio suite - it was just the right size, and I think our stay would have been less comfortable if the room had been smaller. We had a delicious dinner at the hotel's restaurant, Allegra. Wine lovers should definitely visit the VIVANCO museum nearby. Highly recommended for your Rioja stay.

This hotel was one of the nicest we’ve ever stayed at. Rooms were big and luxurious. The meals at the hotel were incredible. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating-Maria & others went above and beyond in everything that was needed.

Excellent service. Hi to Maria and the rest of the crew. Personalized service form the moment we walked in. Property is beautiful and clean. It was quiet this time of year but we prefer it that way. Room was ample, clean, beautiful with a great bed that is very comfortable. Perfect place for relaxing as a couple and enjoy good wine in Rioja. Taxi service was arranged by hotel. The grounds are beautifully maintained. They have kept the medieval nature of the surrounding with modern amenities at this great hotel. Food is delicious and Allegar as well as Calao is excellent in every way.
The best tarta de queso Vasca that I’ve had had has been at the restaurant at the hotel. .
Thanks for your hospitality. Will highly recommend

Great staff, our first time in Rioja. Hotel was amazing, excellent renovation combining old and new. Staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. Special thanks to Maria for taking such good care of us. Desire also was fantastic in the morning, remembering all our beverage orders each day.

Great hotel , great staff and food. But the church next block bell rings every 30mins or so 24 hours , prevents you from sleeping, I have never seen bell ringing at every hour of the day, including night time, very ridiculous and disappointing.

Beautifully restored property with great attention to use of the best materials. Room was very comfortable, spacious and functional, but with great architectural details. Staff was very attentive. Wonderful breakfast.

We enjoyed a day of walking, visiting the wine museum and eating lunch at Vivanca. The beds are extremely comfortable. The hotel restaurant is very good and, for lunch, the 4 Arcos is excellent and just around the corner (limited opening times). The church bells ring every quarter hour and then on the hour (maybe choose a room that faces the vineyard or courtyard if this is bothersome for you.

This property has only been open for 1 year and was rated the best local property in La Rioja by a poll. We had the opportunity to meet the owners who have a lovely story as to how and why they purchased the property and turned it into a luxury hotel. Less than 25 rooms total and the 3rd floor has stunning views of the Rioja Alta.

Such a beautiful place and wonderful team! We spent a few days as part of our honeymoon and can’t wait to return for future anniversaries!

My husband and I really enjoyed our two night stay here. The room was very comfortable and all sitting areas of this property were charming. Sunset on the terrace was spectacular. Dining was great in the cave, garden, and restaurant. Loved having wine suggestions for our dinners in the cave. The staff was welcoming, made great recommendations, and made sure we enjoyed our experience. We didn’t go out any where else at night because we didn’t want navigating challenges and because it was so comfortable and lovely at the hotel. Being close to Vivanco was nice too.
