"In the Teruel region of Matarraña, almost on the edge of the Puertos de Beceite Natural Park, the Torre del Marqués is a beautifully restored 18th-century tower that stands between vineyards and olive groves. In this privileged place, which some call Aragonese Tuscany, the splendor of the Mediterranean is on full display. Lucky guests enjoy a unique landscape dotted with deer, hare, boar, and fox. The magnificent 18th century building hosts too an incredible spa, a sanctuary dedicated to relaxation and well-being with a wide variety of facilities (including hot springs, Turkish bath, and sauna). Some Three Key hotels costs thousands of dollars per night. At this one, you'll often find rooms under $300." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Between Barcelona and Valencia, set back on the inland side of a small mountain range, is the Aragonese region of Matarraña, home to the beautifully restored 18th-century tower that is the Torre del Marques. Today, after a thorough renovation, it’s an 18-room luxury boutique hotel that offers a farmhouse-style escape, with views of olive groves and vineyards, as well as an environmentally friendly approach and a zero-kilometer cooking philosophy. The rooms are a perfect marriage of weathered stone walls and contemporary interior design, with high-end comforts including ultra-modern bathrooms; the look is somewhat minimalist, in a palette of warm neutrals, and the textures are where the action is, from the sisal rugs to the bare timbers and knotty pine paneling." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Hailed as the Tuscany of Spain but without the crowds, the Matarraña region is a well kept secret in north-eastern Spain, where curious, medieval streets wind, and vineyards thrive. And we’ve discovered a gem of a hotel there. Set in miles upon miles of lush forest and mountain peaks, Torre Del Marques is a chic, lovingly restored 18th-century farmhouse. The design is a pleasing mix of old and new, including in its 18 elegant rooms. Think trendy wishbone chairs against a calming stone wall backdrop. But the real star of the show is the landscape. Those spectacular, far-reaching views keep on coming, whether swimming in the outdoor pool set among almond trees and lush gardens, or dining on locally sourced deliciousness in the top rated restaurant. It’s all about peace and serenity here. Switching off is a breeze. You’d be forgiven for staying put - there’s a back rub to be had in the heavenly spa and homegrown wine to sample - but should you wish to head out, there’s Gothic castles to explore and crystal clear pools to cool off in mid-hike. For disconnection, utter relaxation and discovery of the undiscovered, head this way. Highs We love the sleek design – think farmhouse-chic with a midcentury modern twist The outdoor pool, surrounded by rolling countryside, is positively dreamy The service is outstanding by all accounts, and the spa is fabulous With nothing but picturesque nature for miles around, this is the spot to come for a proper escape The restaurant serves excellent food alongside wine from the hotel's vineyards and to-die-for views Lows Such a gloriously remote location means a car is essential Breakfast is not included in the rates We hear the top floor standard rooms can be on the small side Under 16s are not allowed in the spa's indoor pool, but the outdoor pool (April-Oct) is fab – and heated If you’ve come for buzzing nightlife, look elsewhere!" - Handpicked by our hotel experts
