This hotel is just south of the historic town of Aranda de Duero, at the center of the Ribera del…read moreDuero wine region. It is about a 10 min taxi ride to the old village. Although staying walking distance from the village would be an advantage, the reason I would come back to this hotel is because it is on a nice little vineyard! This makes the short taxi ride into town worth the trip. Although this might be categorized as a motor lodge because of its location right off the highway that takes travelers from Madrid to Ribera del Duero and on to La Rioja, it is still situated on a nice little tempranillo vineyard. The mornings on the back deck can't be beat. Enjoy your morning with a tranquil 180 degree vineyard view. Given its proximately to the highway, there is surprisingly very little road noise. Rooms are clean, quiet, and comfortable. There is a nice restaurant and full gift shop next door as well. Pricing is also more like motor lodge pricing, so the location really makes for a great value. I would surely come back when in the area.
