The Hotel Castillo El Collado is a unique boutique hotel, housed in a restored medieval castle in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, near the picturesque village of Laguardia. This 4-star hotel offers a stay experience that combines the historic grandeur of a castle with modern comforts. It is the ideal reference point for wine and history lovers, offering an unparalleled view of the surrounding vineyards.
The rooms, distributed among the towers and ancient walls, maintain their historic charm with vaulted ceilings, exposed stone walls, and furnishings that evoke the era. Every detail is carefully considered to ensure an intimate and romantic atmosphere. Many rooms offer a panoramic view stretching over the rows of vines and the mountains of the Sierra de Cantabria.
The castle boasts several impressive common areas, including a terrace that serves as a privileged vantage point over the region. It is the perfect place for a wine tasting at sunset. The hotel is strategically positioned to facilitate access to the most renowned wineries of Rioja Alavesa and organize guided tours.
The in-house restaurant offers cuisine that honors the Basque and Rioja tradition, with a contemporary touch. Dishes are elaborated with seasonal ingredients and high-quality local produce. The refined ambiance and large windows overlooking the vineyards make every meal an excellent visual and gustatory experience.
Staying at Castillo El Collado is more than just a vacation; it's a complete immersion in the landscape and wine culture. The proximity to Laguardia, one of the most beautiful medieval villages in the region, and the possibility of taking walks among the vines make this stay an unforgettable experience of historic and rural luxury.

His Opinion: Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und sauber. Was nicht geht ist , dass der Empfang im Hotel erst ab 10:00 anwesend ist. Vorher ist nur eine Hilfskraft anwesend, die keine Sprache außer Spanisch spricht und man daher keinerlei Probleme klären kann. Am Abend ist wieder niemand anwesend. Wir haben in den zwei Tagen Aufenthalt bis auf den Empfang am ersten Tag um 15:00 niemanden im Hotel angetroffen. Das ist sehr schade und man glaubt sich in einem anonymen airb&b.
Auch das Unkraut und die verdörrten Pflanzen im Aufgangs erreich zum Hoteleingang machen keinen gepflegten Eindruck. Schade, das schöne alte Schloss hätte mehr Liebe und Pflege und personelle Betreuung verdient.
Das Problem mit dem von uns mitgebuchten Frühstück konnte mangels Ansprechpersonen in den beiden Tagen nicht geklärt werden. Wir haben daher nicht gefrühstückt, obwohl wir es bezahlt hatten und eine Zahlungsbedtätigung mit inkludiertem Frühstück vorliegen hatten.
