Palacio de Samaniego | Hotel Boutique de Lujo

A Perfect Stay in Wine Country! We had an incredible stay at Palacio de Samaniego — everything from start to finish was top-tier. The rooms are spacious, beautifully designed, and exceptionally comfortable, blending charm with modern luxury. The service was outstanding, with special thanks to Max, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and seamless. Mornings began perfectly with their delicious breakfast, and the availability of free e-bikes was a huge bonus. It made exploring the nearby trails and stunning countryside so easy and enjoyable. The restaurant is superb and made for an excellent diner on our first night in town. The location is ideal for anyone looking to relax in the private outdoor pool or explore the region’s wine and natural beauty. We can’t wait to return!

Our visit to Palacio de Samaniego was nothing short of exceptional. The tasting menu was a beautifully curated journey through local flavors and culinary artistry. Each dish was a masterpiece, combining seasonal ingredients with elegant presentation and bold, yet balanced flavors. From the amuse-bouche to the final dessert, every course surprised us with creativity and precision. The wine pairings were thoughtfully selected, showcasing the best of the Rioja Alavesa region and elevating the entire dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant, nestled in the serene setting of Samaniego, added a magical touch to the evening. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing our appreciation of each course with detailed explanations and genuine hospitality. It was a memorable gastronomic experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting the region. Palacio de Samaniego offers not just a meal, but a true celebration of Basque cuisine and culture.

Enjoyed a very comfortable stay at this wonderful hotel in the heart of La Rioja. First, the staff are professional in every way. Everyone from the front desk, to the dining room, to the support people does a proper job, always with a cheerful smile. The people here make you feel welcome in every way. The suite is modern with every convenience including excellent lighting, a cloud-like bed, and plenty of places to keep your things while visiting. Location is convenient to all of La Rioja. Parking is across the street. Breakfast made to order with all the favorites. I look forward to staying here again, hopefully for many days!

The Restaurant was great, food was incredibile, never been to the hotel, I’m 100% sure it’s incredibile as well, but for the moment I recommend for Spring of Next Year The Restaurant.

We spent 2 incredible nights at this hotel. The property is gorgeous, as was our room. The service is outstanding, as is the restaurant. We had both breakfast and dinner here and were very impressed. We also enjoyed the pool, complimentary e-bikes and the short walk to a few beautiful neighbouring wineries. I highly recommend!

This is an such an incredible hotel, with out of this world dining!! We had two nights of our honeymoon here, and it could not have been more perfect. We were lucky to be in the upper suite, which is incredibly fancy. Make use of the e-bikes too, as you can really see the vinyards in a magical way.

The best hotel in Rioja region by far! A true palace that makes their guests feel kings and queens. Don’t miss the outstanding restaurant, and enjoy the best breakfast in Spain. Highly recommended!!!

If I could give the rooms a higher rating I would! One of the best rooms I’ve ever stayed in. They are beautiful, clean, spacious and fantastically laid out. The food and wine offering was superb. The wine was excellent and we were helped in our selection by passionate members of staff. On that front the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We were greeted with smiles, helped with the door and offered water for our journey every time we went out. I will be staying here again and can’t wait for my next trip to Rioja!
