Hotel Zenti'k

Valladolid


This hippyish boutique hotel some way from the town center offers a choice of 10 spacious and imaginatively designed cabañas within intimate surrounds. A gorgeous pool, a spa and an usual underground swimming cave are the real highlights, as is its fabulous restaurant and the fact that the owner rescues local stray animals and finds them homes.

You'll need your own transportation to get here as it's just beyond walkable from the center for some, especially at night. Prices are significantly lower outside high season and that's when you get real value for money. Several walls are covered in impressive murals by contemporary artists.
