"Based in Aragon, Torre del Marqués Hotel Spa & Winery is an 18th-century farmhouse-style hotel with its own farm and winery where, after breakfast I can ride in a 4x4 to a nearby truffle farm to hunt truffles and then return for a truffle tasting menu paired with the vineyard's wines in a dining room with wraparound windows and expansive hill views; the truffle-hunting season runs from December to late March and packages start from about €600 for one night's stay, the hunt, and the tasting menu." - Sophie Friedman

"At the 18th-century farmhouse-style Torre del Marqués Hotel Spa & Winery in Aragon, Spain, I can stay the night and, from December through late March, hop into a 4x4 to a nearby truffle farm to hunt for truffles before returning for a truffle tasting menu paired with the vineyard's wines and views of rolling green hills (packages from about €600)." - Sophie Friedman

"An 18th century tower with views of the olive groves, this winery hotel is one of our most fascinating." - The MICHELIN Guide

"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
