"Francis Paniego exudes honesty, sincerity, passion and a love for his profession and his family (his brother Chefe is the maître d' and sommelier). He is proud of the legacy he has inherited: his mother, the late Marisa Sánchez, was the winner of the Premio Nacional de Gastronomía (National Gastronomy Award) in 1987.El Portal, the cornerstone of the chef's various projects, is a creative new take on his culinary roots, for which he brings his exceptional technical skill to bear on ingredients such as offal to produce veritable taste sensations. These dishes, served in the guise of tasting menus, are presented alongside a selection of starters to be enjoyed out on the terrace or beside the hotel's fireplace. The aim is to showcase the flavours of this beautiful region." - Michelin Inspector

We had an great stay at Echaurren and would highly recommend it. The chefs, Chefe, Javier and all the team provided us with the most amazing food and wines, with interesting and delicious flavours, delivered with such a personal touch. The hotel was very comfortable and perfect for our needs; Pedro and the team looked after us very well. The breakfast is excellent too!

I took a 36 hour getaway (from Madrid to Ezcaray) for my birthday with 6 friends. I had been to this cute, Riojan-town a couple times before, but all this time it was extra special. The hotel is modern and cozy, our rooms were amazing: well designed, comfy beds, and clean. Our rooms also had a gift basket of a bottle of wine, fruit, snacks, etc. which made us feel special. Customer Service was top notch. During our amazing dinner, the chef came out greeted our party, and as a gift gave me a signed copy of the restaurants's latest cookbook. And upon checkout, we received a snack bag filled with local grapes and water for our ride home. I cannot recommend this hotel, and they're superior restaurants enough. A must if you're in the Rioja area!

A great experience overall, without much innovation but a traditional approach to fine dining. Well executed. The part with offal like tongue, heart etc did put off some of the guests, maybe it should be made optional or they should tell you what it is after you ate it. Service was good, but even accommodating our 7 month old, although some of the dishes were dropped without much explanation. I think the price is fair and I left very satisfied.

This is an exceptional hotel and well worth the few extra miles to visit on a holiday to La Rioja.||The enthusiasm and care shown by each and every member of staff at this family run establishment is something to behold.||From the moment we arrived at reception, the personal service at breakfast from Virginia and dinner at El Portal, we were made to feel like really special guests.||We loved the CD in the room, jacuzzi bath and super comfy bed. But above all it is the care and attention of staff towards the quality of food and service, that sets this hotel apart. Can’t wait to return!

Wonderful experience in this Michelin star restaurant. The chef was there and came by each table to meet and greet us, what an honor! The meal was superb, the wine pairing on point. If you are near Ezcaray, try to book a table here. It's worth the drive and money. And you will get amazing views on the way to and back from there. Unforgettable meal.

Such a beautiful and special dinner. They really brought you in to the family and made you feel each of the dishes. Every dish was an experience, unexpected and delicious. We loved every minute and you will not be disappointed.

Food was excellent! Service was superb but there weren't many people when we were there. The apple dessert was heavenly!

We ate at Echau traditionale restaurant which was the only one (of three) open on Monday evening. The food was outstanding and our servers Pedro was very hospitable and appreciated our efforts to hable espanol. The croquettes were delicious and they split the vegetable puree for our kids to share. Each entre - traditional meatballs, grilled sirloin, and leg of lamb ( for two) was of excellent quality and very well prepared. Try one of the modern deserts (ordered at beginning of meal) the chocolate pie with hot chocolate is like a chocolate soufley. Wine list has a great selection and we chose Lopez de Heredia Tondonia 2001 (same vineyard we had toured in the morning). This place is not cheap 20-30 euros per starter and entre but worth the price for treating yourself.
