Castilla Termal Monasterio de Valbuena

Beautiful monastery, an excellent hotel a great stay. Since arriving you are treated as a royalty family. Unique menu at the restaurant with produce from their garden; service at the restaurant was one of the best if not the best of our years of travel. A suggestion: coffee at a 5 stars hotel shall be made to order, not using a coffee machine. Thank you for everything.

I loved this place. First, it is gorgeous, just a lovely way to restore the monastery. The room was gorgeous and comfortable, the bar where we would grab a light dinner was high quality, but the best part was the thermal pools. After a day of touring the region it was so nice to come back and spend a nice long time alternating between the indoor and outdoor pools. Incredibly relaxing.

Very beautiful stay in the old monastery. Extremely comfortable and very authentic. The restoration and transformation is remarkable and the spa is a delight – particularly the private water circuit adjacent to the large pool. Excellent service. Already planning a return.

The hotel and the whole experience is absolutely amazing! Everything breathes nobility and five dtar service while you are at the hotel. The rooms are perfect! The spa is second to none! The visit to the church inside the hotel feels exclusive and the church itself is remarkably beutiful. The breakfast is vast and delicious. One of the best monents - if not THE best - of a week travel along Ribera del Duero and Rioja. Do not hesitate to book this uotel if you are in the region! Half the cost of its five star contender “Marques de Riscal” in Rioja, double the fun, quality, enchantment and service!

My husband and I were on a road trip around “La Rioja” and “Ribera del Duero” and we choose the Castilla Termal Monasterio de Valbuena, based on the proximity to some of the wineries we wanted to visit and based on the reviews. We are very glad we made this choice, it was an amazing stay, not only the hotel is in this charming monastery but the rooms are fully renovated to make you feel extremely comfortable, while enjoying the historic building. The room was very spacious, the bed super comfortable and they offer a pillows’ menu for you to select what makes your night sleep the best; taking a shower or using the bathtub was very pleasant as well. The “termal” offers all kind of relaxing water massages in a large pool for you to go through the different options to relax your body. And their restaurant was a highlight, we enjoyed an amazing dinner and daily breakfast was incredible, lots of options, delicious food and great service. Their house wine, which is made by a small winery, close to the hotel, from grapes grown in their own vineyard, was just spectacular, I wish I could buy it in the US :) Overall, a great experience that we highly recommend!
