“Columbus slept here”

A former monastery now a hotel. The hacienda is in the countryside. A fabulous hotel it dates from 1366. Some of the rooms are former monk cells, giving you a taste of monastic life.

A former monastery now a hotel. The hacienda is in the countryside. A fabulous hotel it dates from 1366. Some of the rooms are former monk cells, giving you a taste of monastic life. The breakfast is well worth it, with farm fresh food. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They produce good Spanish wine, olive oil & cheese. The property has the oldest sequoias in Europe. If you go to Salamanca stay here.

“3 Night Stay”

We were 7 couples, on a tour of Northern Spain and Portugal in our sports cars. We were the only guests. We were well looked after by chef Miguel and his assistant Maria Jose. They worked so hard, and were the only staff apparent. Miguel provided excellent meals, and was attentive and communicative. The pool was pretty cold, but very refreshing! It seemed a little strange that there was no bar available during our visit. The wine harvest began at 4 in the morning of our last night, but we had received prior warning about this, and were not much disturbed. On our checkout day a room with television was made available to us to watch the funeral of Queen Elizabeth/Isabel.

Visited Hacienda Zorita as part of a Secret Escapes deal. The individual bungalow accommodation was really comfortable and the food and drink in both the restaurant and the 'cafeteria' were excellent quality and value for money This review would have been 5 stars IF the rooms had tea and coffee making facilities and if the bar staff didn't need quite so much tracking down to order a drink. Overall a magical place and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it don't be fooled the cafeteria is a spectacular room with luxurious sofas where local snacks and wine and bar meals can be ordered. The homemade pizzas are to die for Special thanks to Bethlin who welcomed us on arrival and the bar man who recommended a visit to Miranda de Dora.

We went as part of the Berberana free deal. It was a long drive from Madrid on a Friday night, as they are only open Friday & Saturday. We arrived just too late for the restaurant, but they provided tapas and wine, which was really appreciated after a long journey. The location and surrounding countryside are stunning, and the rooms and amenities are outstanding Food in the restaurant was excellent, both at breakast and dinner, and the local wine was good and reasonably priced Would love to stay again, but unless passing as part of a longer journey, probably never will
