5 Stars Hotels in Castile and Leon, Spain

Our stay at Hacienda Zorita was perfect in every way, truly faultless. From the moment we arrived the staff greeted us and let us know that we were much appreciated guests who were going to be well cared for in a highly professional yet relaxed and friendly way. Dreamy and romantic are the adjectives that come to mind when describing this ancient monastery dating back to 1366, located on the river Tormes. There simply could not be a more perfect setting for a wedding. Our daughter and son-in-law were married here and the entire day was joyous. As far as organisation was concerned, every stage of the day ran as smooth as a very well oiled machine. High quality organic food and wine is produced at this venue. The standard of the food and drink served to a large number of guests at each stage of the day went over and above expectations. The generous servings of a multitude of delicious canapies upon arrival was quite a happy topic of conversation amongst the guests. All this served with ice cold glasses of champagne from a strong number of smart well-trained waiting staff. This set the scene for a day that the staff grasped with determination to ensure that each and every guest had the time of their lives. The experience of staying as a hotel guest was equally world class. The rooms are charming and rustic, in keeping with the history of the building, whilst providing luxury and all the usual facilities one expects of a hotel of this standing. The beds and luxurious bedding deserve a mention in their own right for the comfort and wonderful night's sleep they provided. The grounds are well manicured and fascinating, providing walks with views to delight the eye around every corner, after which one can wander into the main house at what seemed like any time and sit by the river to be served delicious food. Such is the pride in the meat and cheese they produce, that they have a special room with a glass wall to display what is on offer! There is a small spa on the premises which we didn't visit but I was told by another guest that they also offer massage and it was excellent. The location of this great historic hotel complex is idyllic, set deep in glorious countryside yet 10 mins drive from Salamanca and all its history and exquisite architecture. Pick up the phone and reception always get a taxi there within 20 mins. What more can I say? Hacienda Zorita will undoubtedly call us back time and time again.

We only had one night visiting Salamanca in a road trip and was pleased we found the Hotel Rector. It’s perfectly situated at the edge of the old town. Small and friendly and is run with a personal touch. Very helpful map of the ‘must sees’, a small, secure garage with direct access in to the hotel (essential to reserve a spot if needed), clean, comfortable, lovely turn down service, friendly staff. They even gave us a goody bag with water and snacks for our onward journey. :) Highly recommend. (The ONLY downside for us was sleeping in a basement - I’d have preferred an upstairs bedroom - there was a small inner courtyard so not without a window but no day light …)

Beautiful place, everything new and clean, I please 5 stars. Maybe the hot spring I expect is bigger. There is a very good breakfast on the table. Everything is perfect.

The Aurea Convento Capuchinos was a very pleasant surprise as I didn't know exactly what to expect. None of the photos online did justice to this lovely hotel. The building is centuries old and historic but the interior hotel was built to within the original walls and built to perfection with big rooms and beautiful modern bathrooms. We booked a suite with a Juliet Balcony overlooking the ancient architecture of the historic Segovia Arts building across the road. The room was very quiet as the hotel is about 2 blocks off the crazy center of old town, or the ”Plaza Mayor.” As long as you love walking a bit, this location is perfect. The Aqueduct is just a short walk away but the hotel is far enough away to be in a quiet area rather than in tourist craziness. We didn't use the spa as it wasn't operating when we arrived--maybe next time! The hotel offers a big breakfast for $20 per person, or you can just choose coffee and pastry or whatever you like. There isn't actually a restaurant or bar on site, but there sort of IS...the room service menu including bar beverages are available in the beautiful bar area and the limited menu was done very, very well. We actually called for the room service lady twice and ordered in the bar area, totally enjoying our meals. Since it's not actually a bar, you could bring in your own beverage and enjoy it in the beautiful lounge area if you choose. I cannot say enough about how absolutely stunning this hotel is within the ancient architecture of this four-hundred year old historical building. It is not your typical or average hotel; it is wonderfully unique with a staff who aim to please.

I spent 2 nights here in Leon on a break during the pilgrimage to Santiago, and it was a really excellent choice!! ^^ I really want to recommend it to people. The interior structure was also very good in harmony with antique and modern, and it felt like I was spending time in a mansion. I want to come again next time! ^^

The hotel is very good. Breakfast is very good. The hotel is two or three minutes walk to the center of the ancient city, and the hotel parking fee is 15 euros a night. The hotel's toiletries are very advanced brands. Hotel service attitude is also very good. The hotel restaurant is the first in the area, but it feels like dinner.
