Tordesillas' most sophisticated hotel is the low-rise, ochre-toned parador, surrounded by pine trees and just outside town. Some rooms have four-poster beds, all are large and many look out onto the tranquil gardens. There's also a cafe and an excellent restaurant that showcases local specialities.
