Mixing extremely old architecture with new interiors, the rooms are spacious, modern, with wonderful beds. Our kind host and hostess provided substantial breakfast foods each morning, excellent coffee, included in the price of the room, and offered laundry service for 15€. They speak English haltingly, but are quite capable of communicating with us. The greatest experience for me was the Los Picayos processional that occurs twice a year in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, in May and in September, a unique, ancient religious event that involves penitents flogging themselves. The processional passed down the narrow cobbledstoned streets, right past our hotel. We loved that this little town was so close to an incredibly rich choice of wineries, with many within a 15 minute or less driving time, spectacular views, castles and walled cities. We had a mid sized rental car and negotiating the streets was challenging at best, so beware.

Firm beds, giant towels, huge rooms with bedroom, living room and private bath, lovely owners. Super quiet. Breakfast included with the room for around $75 per night. The female owner (Irene) included two days of laundry for us for 20 Euros. Pedro, Irene's husband, was very helpful with things to do around the area. Where can that happen? We are staying for a week while exploring La Rioja wine region. Cannot give a higher recommendation for any hotel we have used over decades of travel to Spain. After visiting 70 countries, this is the nicest hotel room we have ever used for under $400 per night

The wines here go without saying that they are delicious and they have a great wine list from simple to the depths of your pockets. 1860 Tradición restaurant has excellent menu and great quality food that will not disappoint and the view from its Terrance is simply put, Splendid! Appetizer we had the Croquetas and the Carpaccio de gamba. Carpaccio was delicious and refreshing and won. Great pick of solomillo with jamón and patatatas for The kids. La merluza and adult solomillo were both great dishes and recommend. Would definitely recommend a lunch here which provides great views of the surrounding city.

As for the hotel, the beds were comfortable and the room was a good size for two people. The breakfast offered is expensive and not worth it (it is more of an American breakfast than a Spanish breakfast), so be sure to check out one of the coffee shops in the neighborhood. The WiFi is of a good speed - no AOL 56k dialup as we had experienced on other portions of our journey. But unfortunately, there is no fitness center. For an admittedly more upscale hotel in La Rioja, I am very surprised that there were not more services or amenities offered in conjunction with the various wine producing regions. I would have definitely shelled out extra money if it meant that I could have some sort of organized transportation to the various wineries, rather than having to watch my drinking consumption because we had to drive ourselves.

The breakfast is poor with dry bread, only one glass of juice - everything curtly. And the village is a hole with only 2 very ordinary cafes. Nothing of interest. My advice: stay away and book a Parador. There you'll get more value for money.

It is clean and a little on the fancy side, given the recent renovations. The gym is a bit scary n dodgy as it is in a poorly lit thoroughfare to the car park. Their restaurant is average for western prices for dinner. breakfast is great though and they let you make (sneaky) sandwiches for your road trip for the day. free Wifi for first 24hrs. staff at reception come across as rude and frustrated when you turn up to check-in, check-out or ask for help of any sort. Guess I interrupted their nail filing session. Restaurant staff are really nice though. They try very hard to please.

They also have an underground Bodega of which they offer tours and tastings. It's all contained within a beautifully decorated 17th Century Spanish Country House/Palace, with a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. Gayle and I enjoyed a long lunch in a small outdoor Patio area between the Bar area and the Hotel. Also in-between was the Bodega area and for a time a fun bunch of folks whose wine tasting capped their adventurous time underground. We were both sorry that we missed our chance to do that too. We both ordered off the "Menu del Dia" and my oxtail steak was fabulous. Gayle was less impressed with her bland cod (is there any other kind?) and wished that she had ordered off the Menu. The couple at the next table did, and Gayle wanted what they were having! However, our shared bottle of wine was good, the Spanish Flan was delicious (as usual), and my young Bride looked radiant. One of our mutual observations was how cute Spanish children are, how handsome the Parents look, and how much doting was going on. We got our chance with a Toddler who came over to say Hi and a Mother that was loving every minute of it. It's amazing during times like this when our broken Spanish is understood by all.

Mayor de Migueloa is located in one of the most popular wine regions in Spain (if not the most…read morepopular). The name of the town is Laguardia, which used to be a defense post established in the 13th century. Laguardia provides a rich historical backdrop over looking Spanish wine country, which offers spectacular atmosphere and picturesque views. My friend and I stayed at Mayor de Migueloa for a weekend and really enjoyed our stay. It's a family run business with charming decor through out the establishment. The old walls and rustic feel of the place takes you back in time, although the hotel is quite cozy, modern and clean. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, and we also noticed the owner works closely with the staff on a daily basis, which probably accounts for the attention to detail. The restaurant was fantastic, and for any wine enthusiast, it's a perfect location to stay and travel in the region. Mayor wine is exceptional and I definitely took some home with me. Overall, we loved this place and enjoyed our visit and highly recommend its charm, service and location!
