Terra Dominicata Hotel & Winery

My husband and I just had a remarkable stay at Terra Dominicata. Four days of relaxation and luxury, with incredibly attentive and above-and-beyond service. We had a junior suite which was spacious and beautifully appointed (nicest bathroom ever!). The pool area was beautiful and relaxing. The restaurant was lovely and the service, especially at dinner, was insanely good. I have dietary restrictions which were always accommodated. And their wine was SO GOOD! Overall such a special and wonderful experience; could not recommend more. Hot tips: • If you are a road cyclist, look not further. My husband and I have biked in many incredible places but this may have been the best cycling we have ever done! • The rooms do have air conditioning but there are laws in the area that prevent the temperatures from going below 22 Celcius. I run hot, so I was worried, but the hotel provided us with a couple of fans and it did the trick in keeping us cool. • The region itself is tricky for food if you have dietary restrictions (I don’t eat meat or dairy, and found it tough at times). There are definitely options if you look/are willing to take a drive and, again, the hotel is super accommodating. • Recommend renting a car especially if you stay for longer than a couple days and/or want to get out and explore.

We were a group of eight visiting Priorat and chose Terra Dominicata based on the great reviews—and I’m happy to report they were absolutely right. The hotel is beautiful, with an amazing terrace and incredibly friendly, helpful staff. We stayed for three nights. On our first evening, we dined at the hotel restaurant and essentially built our own tasting menu, sharing everything—which turned out to be a fantastic experience. Since we had day trips and long lunches planned for the following two days, we opted for more casual tapeo-style dinners at the hotel, and the staff was more than happy to accommodate us. Next time (and I really hope there is a next time!), I’d love to visit between May and September, when the weather is warmer, so we can enjoy the pool and dine outside in the evenings.

Great couple days spent here. Hotel was beautiful, staff were very friendly, and the restaurant was great. I will warn you if you’re a hot sleeper like me you may want to take a fan or you can ask for one. Thankfully we were here during the cooler months. But the thermostat is locked between 22-24 Celsius which is hot for me when sleeping. The staff said this is due to a new law in Spain requiring that. After 7 different stays or so this trip this is the first place we have run into this the last 2 weeks. So I’m not sure. But figured someone may appreciate knowing that.
