    The rooms were spacious modern. Breakfast was included and very good

    The unusual design of the building is was led us to book the hotel and the room was fab as well.

    Sophisticated & Understated Viura!

    • Deluxe Double Room with Balcony
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Some tiny observations like not having a separate door to the en suite bathroom was a little unusual and might be a little disconcerting for new couples perhaps?! The lighting in the dining room was at 'lighthouse' levels we thought first night...and then similarly - it was the first remark my brother and his wife made the second night when they joined us for dinner?! Also, disappointed that the wine shop was not opened Sunday-Thursday when we were there?! An 'honesty' bar on the roof would be a huge addition we thought, to save coming all the way downstairs to refill...and also the rooftop gym seems a poor use of space somehow? How about a tiny bar area/ fridge and two bathrooms instead so that more use can be made of the rooftop by a greater number of guests, which is very poorly advertised internally.

    Lovely Breakfast. Lovely spacious modern minimalist room. Comfortable big bed. Fabulous roof terrace views and seating, and also in front of the hotel. Lovely restaurant at lower level with great food. Welcome drinks were a nice touch, So wonderful to be able to walk to local wine producer's bodegas from the hotel on the local winery tour, and amazing to be able to walk among the vineyards themselves in a short stroll out of the village. Bliss!

    The only disappointment is the evening meal though breakfast was very good. The dining room has some great touches with barrels suspended from the ceiling but the menu is very limited and quite poor. Given the lack of alternatives in the village, this is a major issue in terms of staying there if you do not want to drive.

    I love the building, the rooms and the technology. The staff are very friendly and the building id truly beautiful with large rooms and spaces.

    Our lights didn’t work initially but it was rectified very quickly by the front desk staff despite it being quite late at night. This made the safe not work when we checked out but again they were very responsive to getting it fixed so I really cannot fault them!

    This is a beautiful place to stay in the rioja area. The room was spacious and had everything we needed including a lovely terrace. The hotel breakfast was wonderful and the restaurant for dinner was delicious (it’s really the only place for dinner in town so keep this in mind when you book). I loved the gym which had a great rooftop view of the local town. The staff were wonderful and very helpful with everything including organizing a walking tour of some of the local wineries. I’d definitely stay here again!

    Nothing really The shower could do with a little shelf in it but I think our room was newly done and I suspect this is in hand On all it was pretty perfect

    A really modern building incorporating the history of the area. From the moment we walked through the door we felt welcomed We had an amazing room on the ground floor which was spacious and and luxurious. We had a really large balcony with really comfortable chairs Breakfast was amazing with a great variety to choose from The freshly squeezed orange juice was delicious We ate in the dining room one night and this was beautifully cooked and perfectly accompanied by a local wine suggested by our waiter. The staff were all charming and helpful We used this as a site to cycle from and there are plenty of fairly challenging rides near by with really lovely villages to visit

    Access tricky, outside front terrace decking warped and dangerous for oldies like us. No pool. Roof terrace lovely but lacked shade . Few facilities in village. Room a bit shabby ( door to fridge chipped and poorly fitting, table also chipped and floor around coloured Despite these comments, we did enjoy the hotelshower screen quite grubby. No grab handle in shower.and we had problems with lights. Staff most helpful but prob not resolved for 3 days . Everyone who worked there gave their best but were really stretched when hotel was full. More staff would have helped. Ants on wooden serving table in restaurant at breakfast - they live in the cracks and the single coffee machine queue was a joke. People waited for 5 or 6 minutes at a time. Just get another one!

    Its design, friendliness, food, helpful staff.

    The restaurant was not that good for the high price. I think the hotel should install their own pool rather than send you to the municipal pool.

    Unusual place to stay with fantastic views from roof top
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Triple Room
    • Stayed 1 night
    • Submitted from a mobile device

    A bit strange design of the room - toilet/ bathroom separated just by glass wall, not door so you do not have privacy It is very uncomfortable as all other things are very good at hotel Also, finding this hotel in the town could be quite tricky. It is not very well signposted and quite confusing if you are driving and have never been there before. I could suggest driving through town very slowly as you can easily miss the turn, and as roads are narrow, it is not always easy to reverse back

    Very nice and friendly Good view from roof top Food Good though it is expensive and not a lot in quantity as normal in gastrononic hotels So if you would like to eat a lot, better find other places Children option is very good, though, as well as breakfast We wish we had more time to explore the area

    We were disappointed our balcony was low down, surrounded by rocks, with no view. We would not pay extra for a balcony room again without assurance it would be higher up in the building.

    The staff were brilliant, we will definitely be revisiting.

    The main restaurant is a bit lack lustre and needs re-designing and updating. We only had breakfast in there because of that.

    The hotel is a lovely stylish property with lots of funky touches. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. Very well located in the beautiful region of Rioja. Staff were helpful too.
