This one year old hotel is an undiscovered gem. Built by Alenjandro Fenandez - think....the Robert Mondavi of the Ridero de Duero wine area - this modern hotel and restaurant is a really nice, upscale, hip stay in one of the leading wine regions of Spain. Bear in mind, this hotel is a leading edge, stake in ground to begin to develop this area as a wine destination... So it is abit like catching Sonoma 14 years ago. The wineries are great, there are a couple of nice restaurants, the wonderful castle..... and a really good wine museum... which is modern and sophisticated. So you know though, you will not have the complete commercial development of a Napa ... so no upscale stores and wine bars, etc... I thought it was a great get away and the hotel was fantastic... but this is more of a rustic wine journey..that happens to have a great, modern hotel option to stay at. read more
