Perfecto!
Impresionante, todo perfecto: habitación, desayuno, servio, recomendaciones,…
Y perfectamente para recorrer la zona.
Beautifully renovated historic building, blending the old with new. Rooms a little dark and would have liked a bath. Restaurant staff for dinner and breakfast were excellent as was the food. Reception provided great advice and booked in a tour of the local Bodegas for us. Only downside was no tea/coffee making facilities in the room and bar service was slow.

A perfect hotel
A fabulous hotel on top of an historical village.
We stayed in room 16. A nice bottle of complimentary rioja wine was waiting for us. Just perfect on decoration, confort and cleanliness. Every night a little home made bag of cookies were left with a fresh flower.
The restaurant is amazing and a must. Breakfast is also a feast with local and fresh products.
The team is just wonderful, professional and extremely friendly. Always a smile and very helpful. Maria was a top hostess and she showed us around the place and the great cave!
We can only highly recommend this place.
We will return.

Beautiful recently renovated hotel set in a centuries old mansion built into the 11th century wall of a quaint medieval village (current population about 7-800 people). 1 block walk from the village square and stunning views from the 2nd / 3 floors (common terrace on the 3rd floor (listed as 2nd floor since ground level is "zero" in many European hotels). Lovely staff and magnificent restaurant. Had lunch in their wine cellar which was fantastic.

Awesome stay in Briones
It was a perfect stay in a beautiful, medieval town in a wonderfully restored property. Host was great and gave us private tour of the renovation. Would definitely recommend.

Nice newly renovated hotel in old manor house. Excellent breakfast and nice small city with structures from medieval times. Close and convenient location for visiting many Rioja wineries with tasting options. Driving on narrow and steep streets can be challenging at times so go slow.

Amazing hotel!!
Stunning hotel in the middle of a medieval city. The rooms were spacious and beautiful and the bed is probably the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on in any hotel! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful directing us to wineries and other activities in the area, and the breakfast was the best we experienced in Spain. Can’t say enough good things!

One of the best hotels in Spain!
One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in! Rooms were incredible, the staff was beyond kind and attentive. We could not have asked for a better place to stay in Rioja and will stay there again when we are back.
