Description

Situated 35 miles west of Burgos in Castrojeriz; a medieval village found along the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage trail with interesting historical buildings including palaces commissioned by the Royal Council of Castile during the XVI century.

The hotel (a little gem) is in a beautifully re-constructed medieval house featuring 7 en-suite bedrooms, an intimate dining room and lounge and a separate outdoor patio with barbecue for dining during warmer months. Throughout the house is stunning glasswork, stone arches, fine woodwork and lots of books. Your friendly hostess Avelina and her husband are an extremely nice couple who delight in taking care of their appreciative guests - just read the guestbook.

Many heritage visits nearby including the Gothic Saint John church which houses an important collection of paintings and tapestries. Ideal place to wind down for a couple of days.
