"A 90-minute drive from Madrid, the Valdepalacios is the aristocratic country inn the Spanish capital has long needed. From the farmland approach, it doesn’t look like much, but inside the apricot-colored estate walls, the old manor house has been transformed with exquisite taste into a 27-room retreat as deeply comfortable as it is utterly modern. The public areas are warmed by fireplaces and dotted with antiques, and the main house’s first-floor rooms have sleek furnishings, wide-planked floors, and picture windows that have broad views of the countryside. Past the spa, the sunny patio, and the pool are the garden cottages, their airy interiors done up in tasteful chintz. Apartment-size bathrooms have separate tubs and showers and Molton Brown toiletries. It’s like a chic English retreat—except for the restaurant, Tierra, which is overseen by star chef Santi Santamaría (of Barcelona’s Can Fabes), whose olive oil tastings and crisp-skinned pork make it thoroughly, wonderfully Spanish."
"A pleasant, bright restaurant with an elegant decor. The cooking here has a modern hint to it, showcased on an à la carte that champions produce from the property’s own farm and a strong focus on presentation." - Michelin Inspector
"There’s very little of the typical hotel experience about Hotel Valdepalacios, an hour and a half outside Madrid. Take the setting: the villa nestles among fields and orchards, as far as the digital camera’s eye can see. Nicely proportioned nooks, white wash, and soft light abound. But “villa” doesn’t really cover it. “Deluxe country estate” works better. One room might feature a bed festooned with snowy drapery and a window accented by flowery curtains, while another has a decidedly less dainty vibe, thanks to the bold striped fabrics and a private entrance off the courtyard. Some are on the ground floor, while some are in the attic (offering better views of the palm trees, meadows, and distant mountains). In the center, a nod to the area’s long-ago Moorish past, a tiered fountain, gurgling and burbling its message of relaxation to all." - Tablet Hotels
