We just can't say enough good things about this place. First of all, Juan and his wife are fantastic, down to earth, hospitable hosts. What incredibly good people they are. And so multi-talented! What is not to like? The food at both dinner and breakfast was absolutely fantastic. The hake was wonderful. Juan makes wine also, and his label, Empatia,... More

This charming hotel has such an atmosphere of its past. Walking up the broad stone steps, indented by the thousands of feet of others who have gone before deepens the experience. It was delightful to meet Jose Luis again and hear about how things are going both at the hotel and in the vineyards. These are difficult times for Spain... More

What a charming, quaint and absolutely wonderful hotel in the La Rioja area. A must if you are touring the bodegas in that region. You will not be disappointed. Jose Luis is a most thoughtful and caring host. From his vineyard, he produces a deliciously tasteful 2010 white wine and a pleasant, full bodied 2007 & 2008 red wine. We... More

Looking for a convenient stay in La Rioja, we stumbled upon this gem of a hotel.

The breakfasts were nice, although the dinners, while tasty, could have been a bit better. That's the... More

This is a lovely small hotel in La Rioja. The owner is absolutely charming and the food well presented and cooked. The owner produces a small quantity of wine for consumption in the Hotel. Both his white and red wines are thoroughly recommended. We used this hotel as a stopover en route to Southern Spain. Its less than 15 minutes... More

It's all been said before - an outstanding hotel. They have it just right. Reception is at the back of the hotel through the side gate to the right. Follow your nose uphill when the signs run out, there is an on site car park behind the hotel through an auto gate - ring to open. Be advised, dinner doesn't... More

Been twice and will certainly return. The food is superb and accomadation first class. Set in ideal wine country for touring. Try and find the village shop/bar - well worth a visit. Can't rate this highly enough.

We stayed at Villa de Abalos for 4 nights a few weeks ago. Some friends had recommended it and I have to say that we were very happy and would defiantly stay there again! The rooms and bathrooms are large and very very clean. The location of the hotel is great as very accessible to many vineyards which is what... More
