Hotel Tres Coronas

Top choice in Castilla y León


Set in a former 17th-century palace, this terrific hotel is brimming with character, with rooms of thick stone walls and old-world charm – including suits of armour and antique furnishings in the public spaces. The front rooms have lovely views over the square. The atmospheric restaurant (mains €12 to €23), which specialises in meats roasted in a wood-fire oven, is the village's best.
