Hotel Restaurante Rural Las Baronas

“From the moment we arrived in centre of village square and saw this historic,rural hotel to the moment we had breakfast we really enjoyed our stay here. Nuria and her team are great hosts. It's a vibrant establishment with a bar which is popular with the locals and excellent restaurant. This 17th century house (see history below) has been very sensitively converted with high spec well maintained fixtures and fittings. The rooms are nice and warm and beds comfy. The evening meal was excellent with lots of choice and great local products like quail,black pudding,stews paired with the excellent local, Ribeira del Duero wines. Breakfast was fine too. It's so peaceful and quiet and we enjoyed strolling around the village and climbing up to see the incredible views from Mirador de Cruz. I highly recommend a thoroughly relaxing stay here. History: "House of the Men (also known as the House of the Union) Building from the end of the 17th century that belonged to the Varona family. On the façade we can see the stately coat of arms of the Varona family in which a woman appears wielding a broken sword. The members of the Varona family are descendants of Maria Pérez, the legendary warrior woman who around the year 1120 defeated and captured, disguised as a man, King Alfonso I of Aragon (El Batallador) during a contest in the fields of Soria that pitted him against his stepson Alfonso VIL, King of Castile and Leon. This feat earned the intrepid Castilian the title of "Vona", which became a family surname. The house was inhabited by members of this family (who worked in the service of the Counts of Miranda) until about 1800 when they emigrated to Cuba and Mexico. During the Second Republic (1931-39) the building was used to house the tools and offices of the Agrarian Union that helped the town's farmers. Today it is a rural hotel with a cafeteria and restaurant."”

“A gem of hotel set in a pretty village square. Rooms are basic but very clean and comfortable. Very friendly staff. Restaurant on site and breakfast is €5pp. Parking outside and very quiet apart from the bell tower that chimes last thing at midnight and first thing at 9am (not the hotel's fault)! Would highly recommend staying here.”

“I stayed three nights as a solo traveler on my way to Madrid. The hotel is in a very quiet and peaceful village. Perfect place if you want an authentic experience in a rural setting. My room was very clean and spacious. The staff could not have been kinder.”
