Abadia de los Templarios

Top choice in Castilla y León


Large rooms with wooden floors and wooden beams make this place an excellent choice. It's a large complex, close to the main entrance of town and on a pretty, leafy hillside, designed to recreate La Alberca's half-timbered architecture. There's also an on-site spa and swimming pool. Our only criticism is that it's often booked up by local tour groups.
