La Torre del Visco Relais & Châteaux

One of my favourite places in the world. The courtyards are beautiful and peaceful places to relax. The staff mill around taking care of you and the environment; it's like they're a mini-community that make money for the community by having guests, rather than your normal process driven and mechanistic hotel. Being able to go and grab a drink from the cellar, just leaving a note of what you took, is another example of that. Fruits, vegetables and herbs are grown on-site, with meat and wines etc coming from very local sources. The rooms are modest, but you really shouldn't be coming here to spend time in your room. I'm typing this from a courtyard next to a fountain and I am writing this because I want other people to experience it. Our dinner last night was incredible, others have mentioned it, so I won't repeat, but wow. Extra thanks to Lucas for taking care of our stay so thoughtfully, but the whole team were kind and helpful beyond our expectations. Thank you, all. Yes there is a track to the hotel for 7km, but a couple of the other guests had a Ferrari and Porsche and they were wondering why some people had complained in the reviews! It's a bit stoney and bumpy, but it is secluded and the track adds to that. Please don't let it put you off. This place is special.

This was one of the most lovely states that we have ever had. The service was outstanding. Breakfast on the terrace was amazing. The property is truly special.

Torre Del Visco is a beautiful property in a beautiful location, we stayed for 1 night and wish we had longer to appreciate the tranquillity and walking routes available from this property. We included this property on a road trip around Northern Spain. Highlights: Location - beautiful! Pool - lovely pool area set up on the hillside Dining - excellent dining, our evening meal sat outside was lovely and the meal was exceptional. Breakfast in the kitchen - WOW! Wine cellar - lovely option for drinks during your stay. Staff - all the staff were great, friendly, attentive. Parking - covered parking with plenty of space. Points to note: The location is amazing but the 5.5km drive into the property is mostly a single track gravel/ dirt road which was passable by our car (Jaguar F-Type) but due to the bumps along the road and gravel surface, would be ideal to be in something higher off the ground for sure! Thank you for a lovely space and we would like to return for a little longer next time!
