Posada Real La Cartería

Top choice in Castilla y León


This stunning old inn is one of the best hotels in this part of the country. It blends modern comforts with all the old-world atmosphere of the village itself, featuring large, delightful rooms with exposed stone walls and wooden beams. The bathrooms have Jacuzzi tubs and there is even a small gym (as if walking around this hilly village wasn't exercise enough!).

The restaurant reflects the local obsession with wild mushrooms (setas and boletus) and trucha (trout), caught in the river below the village). Mains start at €13.
