MUST STAY: If you happen to be in Spain, this place is an absolute must to visit even with a few…read morehour drive. It is just east of the Valladolid area. This area of San Pelayo is where time has stopped. The village has a few tapas bars, a church and the Castillo de Torrelobaton which you can walk through the entire castle with spectacular views of the rolling mountains.
The 3 story stone and wood house has a beautiful terraced garden in front with seating to enjoy. The interior is stunning. It has traditional and warm décor highlighting the interior stone walls, wood floors and thick wood ceiling beams. It has charming décor on every inch of this place. The entire common area has a lot of seating around the fireplace as well as dining areas which were all very clean. The tables had fresh white linens and roses with mint leaves on each one.
Our room had a double bed and single bed with armoire; sofa, coffee table and seating chair; and full sized bathroom. The beds, pillows, sheets and towels were all in very good quality and were very soft and pleasant smelling. The bathroom was accommodating for 2 people if necessary.
Breakfast is included with the room fee. We had hot chocolate, coffee with steamed milk, crepes with fresh raspberry preserves, almond cookies, toasted banquette drizzled with rich olive oil and quality parmesan and prosciutto.
The lady of the house speaks Spanish only and runs the entire place and is always pleasant and accommodating. I would highly recommend staying here even if you have to drive several hours. This is one of the most charming, romantic, relaxing and pleasant places to stay. We would have stayed longer if our itinerary allowed. We did not speak Spanish and used google voice translate which was fine for us.
