Hotel Juan II

Castilla y León


Despite its modern red-brick exterior, the rooms here are charming, with warm terracotta-tiled floors, dark-wood furniture and large terraces. Request room 201 for its fabulous double-whammy vista of the Río Duero to one side and the Colegiata Santa María La Mayor to the other. The restaurant (mains €14 to €23), specialising in hearty meat dishes, is one of Toro's best.
