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 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.

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.

Perfect small town in Rioja.
The hotel is gorgeous and the service wonderful. We were in town during a local festival and had so much fun joining the events at the bullring and town square. We were the only locals there and everyone was so nice to us.

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.

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.

Incredible hospitality in La Rioja wine country!
Such a special place! My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights during our honeymoon traveling through Spain. The hotel is truly a luxurious oasis amid the medieval village of Briones. The hotel staff were all exceptional - the best hospitality we experienced in all of Spain. Buffet breakfast every morning was delicious (and such a treat that it was included). Wish we could have stayed longer!

What a gem! We were so fortunate to find this property. A complete refurbishment that gives you all of the new conveniences while still honouring the history of the property and fits into the landscape of the small village. The staff were amazing especially the young lady who checked us in and took care of all of our needs including transportation in and around the area. Anyone travelling to the La Rioja region must stay here.
