PENAFIEL – CASTILLA TERMAL MONASTERIO DE VALBUENA
Opened in 2015, this five-star, 79 room luxury hotel and spa is a converted 12th century Cistercian monastery. Dramatically beautiful, the Castilla Termal Monasterio de Valbuena offers extensive spa facilities and fine dining, at the heart of Spain’s prestigious Ribero del Duero wine region.
This extraordinary property is also a state-protected monument. It is the historic heart of the hotel with its church and St. Peter’s Chapel is an awesome beauty, all massive pale stone walls, soaring ceiling heights, characterful cloisters, and wooden beamed refectories. You can almost sense the chanting monks still pacing through the grounds. Castilla Termal has added a well-designed extension that includes new bedrooms, luxury spa, steam, sauna and extensive meeting rooms.
This is a wonderful and different lodging experience, carefully chosen for both its location and ambience.
