My wife and I usually prefer smaller hotels or inn's. This place fit the bill. Booked through email and showed up 24 hours later. Parking - There is a small alley or driveway to the inn. Pull up and unload your luggage. There is parking halfway down the hill and also on the street. The owner checked us in and... More

we stayed for a night at this castle hotel...and really had a nice time...the owner Javier is very friendly and takes care of everything..nice rooms and bathrooms, good quality breakfast in a small castle....a good choice if you stay in laguardia..

We had a lovely stay here. Upon arrival we were taken to the castle tower and given 2 glasses of complimentary champagne and peanuts. The owner/manager and staff were friendly, accommodating and a real pleasure. The bathroom was beautifully re-done. The room was large and comfortable. The decor was appropriate for the atmosphere. We ate dinner at the restaurant one... More

We enjoyed our short stay at Castillo El Collado a lot. Javier, the owner/manager/host was passionate about his castle, his food and his guests. If there were seven stars rating available in tripadvisor he and his castillo derserve it.

We stayed here for 2 days at the end of a driving tour through France and northern Spain. Arriving hot and tired after a long drive, we were ushered to the terrace and glasses of chilled white Rioja were put in front of us. Xavier and Raphael seemed to have a sixth sense about what was wanted, and appeared as... More

If you want real old-fashioned hospitality, you won't find anyone better than Javier. His old family home, which he turned into an hotel 17 years ago, just oozes authentic historic charm, but has everything you need in modern conveniences. Looks like the rooms were very recently renovated, with lovely bathrooms, dual climate control (in bedroom and bath). His service is... More

Stayed for 2 nights over a holiday weekend. A little hard to locate due to roads being closed for a foot race, but well worth the effort. Javier is an expert host - you will not find anyone better, anywhere! There was a harvest festival in a village nearby for which he provided information and complimentary tickets. We felt like...

We stayed here for 2 nights in September as part of our 2 week tour of the Basque country and it was definitely our favourite hotel and place to stay. Had done a bit of research on the internet so Laguardia was definitely one of our stops and so glad we found this hotel. Javier is a lovely host, even... More

We stayed 1st & 2nd Sep 2012. It is a fantastic location right against the walled Rioja Alavesa town of Laguardia. A castle (although only 100 yrs old) with very large excellently appointed room, bathroom and balcony overlooking the plain. Dinner (for the price well worth including with your accommodation when booking) both nights was delicious and Javier's own white... More
