In the very heart of the La Rioja wine region, where every corner is steeped in history and the aroma of aged wines, stands a manor that has long outgrown its role as a mere architectural landmark. Today, this place has become a true sanctuary for those seeking seclusion, comfort, and the spirit of an aristocratic past. The boutique hotel, housed within the walls of a 17th-century palace, offers guests not only the luxury of historic interiors but also a unique spa complex where you can forget about time and daily routines.
Majestic walls adorned with coats of arms and carved doors conceal far more than simple guest rooms. Here, every visitor can feel part of history as they stroll through corridors once echoing with the footsteps of Spanish nobility. Special attention has been given to every detail: from the elegant wrought-iron balconies to the three minarets boldly inscribed with pledges of loyalty to law, king, and homeland. All of this creates an atmosphere that makes you want to linger.
Spa and seclusion
The hotel’s main highlight is a private relaxation area, available exclusively by reservation. Behind massive stone walls lies a true oasis: hydromassage baths, a shower with a Scottish waterfall effect, thermal treatments, and aromatic scents filling the air. Each guest can spend an hour here in complete solitude or together, enjoying absolute silence and panoramic views of the vineyards stretching out beyond the windows.
The cost of this pleasure is quite reasonable — 30 euros per person if booked a day in advance. For those who prefer outdoor relaxation, a saltwater pool opens in the well-kept garden during summer. Here, it’s easy to lose track of time as you watch the sun slowly set beyond the horizon, casting golden hues over the vineyards.
Wine routes and monasteries
The hotel’s location is just as appealing as its interior. Just a few minutes’ drive away are the famous monasteries of Yuso and Suso, where the Spanish language originated, as well as the Cañas monastery, known for its architecture and history. Wine lovers will appreciate the proximity to the iconic wineries Marqués de Riscal and Isios, where you can not only taste the finest varieties, but also learn the secrets of the craft.
For those who prefer an active vacation, the Rioja Alta golf club is nearby, and scenic trails lead to one of the region’s most beautiful towns, Ezcaray. Everyone will find something to enjoy here: from vineyard walks to tours through ancient streets where time seems to stand still.
Luxury for two
The hotel places special emphasis on couples seeking romance and seclusion. Rooms are decorated with respect for historical heritage, while offering all modern conveniences. The main highlight is the royal suite featuring a golden canopy bed and a hydromassage bathtub, perfect for a true celebration for two. For those wishing to extend their pleasure, special packages are available: romantic weekends with dinner, spa discounts, and a minimum two-night stay.
Wine tastings, walks among monasteries, candlelit dinners, and absolute silence — all this makes the hotel an ideal choice for celebrating Valentine’s Day or any other special occasion. Here it is easy to forget everyday worries and fully immerse yourself in an atmosphere of love and harmony.
Historical details
The hotel is housed in a building erected in the 17th century at the initiative of Tomás Alonso de Ojeda, a key figure in the history of Spanish administration during the Bourbon era. The mansion’s restoration preserved unique elements: Rococo-style coats of arms, massive doors made from Castilian oak, and three minaret towers that still adorn the facade. The inscription “Por mi Ley, Por mi Rey, Por mi Patria” recalls a time when loyalty and honor were not just words, but a way of life.
Today, this palace stands not only as an architectural monument but also as a symbol of a new approach to leisure: the combination of history, privacy, and modern spa technologies draws guests from all over Spain and Europe. Everyone who visits remarks on its unique atmosphere—a blend of historic grandeur and homey comfort that you simply can’t find in ordinary hotels.
The boutique hotel Real Casona de las Amas is more than just a place to stay; it’s an entire world where past and present merge in harmony. Here, traditions are cherished but comfort is never forgotten, and every guest becomes part of a unique story that has been unfolding for centuries.
