“Two nights in the Rioja”
We have visited the property around 10 years ago, when you were allowed to park you car a little nearer to the hotel to empty your luggage. Now that can’t be done. If you arrive during the early afternoon parking is a challenge, you will have to carry it a fair distance either way. Once you do arrive, the welcome from who we believe is the owner, is second to none, glass of wine, water and biscuits were offered, and he even moved us to the tower room on the second night. The rooms are as far away from corporate jelly moulds as you can get, enjoy the experience, and if he offers you breakfast take the offer up.

“We loved LaGuardia & the castle was a huge bonus”
Perfect setting, our room looked out to the Rioja vines & mountains. Quirky & interesting decor throughout. Climb up to the tower well worth the effort. Javier looked after us so wonderfully we’ll …… brought a taster of wine to our room on arrival & a bottle of iced water. Went the extra mile to get my husband a doctor’s appointment, advised on vineyard visits, very kind & thoughtful. Breakfasts abundant & plenty fruit & choice. No complaints at all

“Amazing hotel, lovely room , great breakfast and a perfect location for exploring Laguardia .”
The room was very large with a balcony from which we had great views. The location within Laguardia was excellent for exploring the town and you could walk to several of the local Bodegas (Winery ) for wine tours . The breakfast was an excellent spread of fruit, meats , cheeses, juice, pastries, etc . Parking was close by and free - but may be difficult in peak season.

“Breathtaking views, incredible hospitality and beautiful decor and details”
Every part of our short stay, from start to finish, was delightful. Javier’s welcome and incredible personal touches throughout made this our most memorable and wonderful hotel stay ever. So many reasons why this place is special, but the incredible views from the tower, delicious breakfast spread, amazing decor and warm reception were some of the highlights. The restaurant dinner was some of the best food we enjoyed during our whole 10-day trip through Catalan and Basque areas. The family room was perfect for us with our two young ones as well. We are recommending this gem of a place to friends and family and would really love to return again one day.
