We were traveling together with another couple , one of them handicap and yet we were placed in rooms far from each other in opposite sides of the hotel. the front desk person claimed that they had no more rooms available but it was a regular Monday and we did not see many other guests in the hotel . To make things even worse, the sink in my room was clogged and the staff was not able to unclogg it so we were not able to use the sink . Management never apologized or even offer a rate reduction for the inconvenience . Because of all this, we were not able to enjoy the hotel.

The property has 6 rooms we stayed in the Suite which offered very spacious accommodations and as it was a corner room great natural light and unobstructed view (on east side). As the property is small it is not attended 24/7 by front desk personnel but the staff is readily available when called upon and VERY nice and attentive. Very well taken off, clean, modern, and comfortable and with in minutes of many wineries on the area. We REALLY enjoyed our stay. And their winery had some tasty wine options.

The city is very small but has an impressive castle nested in the nearby hill A good starting point could be walking this hill up as parking facilities closer to the castle entrance could get jammed. The historic city centre has one or two nice "cervezarias" where you could mingle with local people and have a beer with bocadillos. Alongside N-122 which is the local road that passes trough the city you will find several wineyards

Out of season Penafiel closes down.
Out of season Penafiel closes down. All restaurants close for the evening and some altogether.
There are a few interesting sites - the castle and the main square; but what is so obvious is how poor Penafiel seems despite so much wealth being generated by the wine business.

Good place to base yourself if visiting the bodegas in the area, but beware virtually everything shuts down on a Monday, which makes finding anywhere to visit and finding somewhere to eat quite challenging. Also note that many restaurants only open for lunch (usually 13-1500), and those that do serve dinner don't open until 2100!
The Castle with its wine museum is well worth visiting. Unfortunately it was all in Spanish - the App wasn't working on Apple phones when we were there. Nice tour of the Castle though.
Also worth seeing the unusual, sandy floored Plaza del Coso which is occasionally still used for bullfights.
Bodegas Pago de Carrovejas is really really worth visiting - they have superb wines & an amazing restaurant Ambivium where we had the best meal on our entire trip. You can do wine tasting on its own here - at anytime in their bar, which is great because, unlike most bodegas, you get to choose which set of wines you wish to sample - and that includes their really good wines. They also do a very good cellar tour with wine tasting and lunch (tho some may find it a little pricey).
The Bodegas Protos tour was better than the tours we did in many of the other bodegas in the area because not only was it well priced at €11, it also has a longer history than most bodegas, and it has both an old and a new winery on the same site. We had a great enthusiastic & informative guide.
If you are looking for tapas, I'd recommend Tartero on the Plaza de Espana
We will definitely be back! The location was perfect to go wine tasting as long as you have a car. It was easy to walk to restaurants in Penafiel. Esther was an amazing host, providing us with a bottle of wine upon arrival and various snacks including juices and water. She was helpful and kind in giving suggestions on what we could do in the area. The apartment was extremely clean and well furnished. Very comfortable for several nights with my spouse and my 2 dogs.
The location is perfect- ideal in fact. One can walk into town and still feel isolated from traffic noise and hubbub of the town. The Hotel is beautiful and a very calming environment with beautiful antiquities to view. The breakfast buffet very good but frantic.
The spa feature is a nice addition but plan ahead if you wish to use it-
Pretty house, everything looks new, reasonably clean, quiet, really close to Penyafiel, in the middle of a vineyard with a nice little swimming pool. Even when it's hot during the day, it cools down at night. Having a kitchen and a fridge was really useful. I wish all the hotels had those.
We chose this hotel for its location and availability of parking. The rooms were excellent, and so was breakfast. We really enjoyed having something to eat and drink in the outside courtyard on our second day. Also the inner courtyard is stunning.
We loved this hotel. We stayed only one night as part of our journey south but it provided everything we needed - a great pool and lovely rooms. We didn’t eat in the restaurant in the evening but the breakfast was good.
It was a great experience overall. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was amazing, with lots of choices (from savory to sweet). The staff was attentive. We also really enjoyed the pool at the end of the day.
It is a very special hotel and very calm and the people working there are great. Breakfast was also great, I am celiac and they had options for me. Perfect place to visit Rivera del Duero wineries.

A beautiful hotel, convenient to explore Peñafiel, secure parking, reasonably priced.
We didn't eat or drink there but it was very good. Would definitely stay again.
Breakfast looked normal, but everything was top quality. Incredible food, great place to stay and nice looking in general. Very well rounded hotel for wine tourism.
