Great hotel but two easy fixes.

Great all around. Staff is super nice and friendly. Very attentive. Two things I would fix. 1) air conditioning is not strong enough. 2) Allegra restaurant closed two days in a row can create instance where guests staying for two nights cannot eat there AND also closed on same nights as neighboring restaurants. Makes no sense.

Boutique hotel with great value

Lovely hotel with a charming surrounding and hospitable staff. I'm glad we booked the Junior studio suite - it was just the right size, and I think our stay would have been less comfortable if the room had been smaller. We had a delicious dinner at the hotel's restaurant, Allegra. Wine lovers should definitely visit the VIVANCO museum nearby. Highly recommended for your Rioja stay.

Breakfast at Sta. María Briones

Breakfast was a bit slow. We asked for a product they were out from the buffet and they had a backlog of other req quests before they were able to get to us. However, it was handled with the best of intentions.

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.

Incredible hospitality in La Rioja wine country!

Such a special place! My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights during our honeymoon traveling through Spain. The hotel is truly a luxurious oasis amid the medieval village of Briones. The hotel staff were all exceptional - the best hospitality we experienced in all of Spain. Buffet breakfast every morning was delicious (and such a treat that it was included). Wish we could have stayed longer!

Excellent service. Hi to Maria and the rest of the crew. Personalized service form the moment we walked in. Property is beautiful and clean. It was quiet this time of year but we prefer it that way. Room was ample, clean, beautiful with a great bed that is very comfortable. Perfect place for relaxing as a couple and enjoy good wine in Rioja. Taxi service was arranged by hotel. The grounds are beautifully maintained. They have kept the medieval nature of the surrounding with modern amenities at this great hotel. Food is delicious and Allegar as well as Calao is excellent in every way. The best tarta de queso Vasca that I’ve had had has been at the restaurant at the hotel. . Thanks for your hospitality. Will highly recommend

Wonderful hotel in the quaint town of Briones. Tasteful and modern design with a beautiful courtyard and small terrace on the 2nd floor. We stayed in a junior suite that was spacious, well designed, with great views and probably the biggest and most comfortable bed we have ever experienced. The gastronomic restaurant is a true gem with a thoughtful menu boasting well-balanced, surprising flavors and combinations. A restaurant that’s easily on a Michelin star level. They also have a small but well equipped gym we really enjoyed. So overall the perfect stay!

High End Comfort

By far my favorite place I have ever stayed. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience. The hotel was immaculate and felt so high end. From the attention to detail in the room, to the attentiveness of the staff, to the Michelin star restaurant located IN THE HOTEL. Make sure to set your alarm because you will not want to miss out on breakfast either. The town is small and has a strong feel of community. It is located amongst about 600 wineries in the area.
