Hotel Viura ★★★★

You can have everything on tap: Hotel Viura makes sure that you have everything you need for a comfortable stay. When designing this hotel they really thought of all the little details which make your stay special like under floor heating in the bathroom, a mini bar full of the local region’s wine carefully selected by the hotel sommelier. The air-conditioning and heating mean that you can easily regulate the room’s temperature for a perfect night’s sleep. The beds are incredibly comfortable and you even get a complimentary bottle of sparkling or still water on arrival. All of these small touches will ensure you never forget this wonderful hotel.

Decorated with excellent taste: The rooms are tastefully decorated and some have views of the church or the village whilst others have mountain views. Guests at the hotel may use the Villabuena de Álava pool which is right next to the hotel, use the gym equipment or go on one of the four cycle routes which lead to and from the hotel, all gratis.

Try the hotel’s best “cellars”: With an expert sommelier you will definitely be in good hands when sampling the local wines. You can either organise a wine tasting session at Bar Viura with the sommelier or visit the vinoteca where Xabier Vadillo will tell you everything you need to know about the regional wines. If you are really interested in how wine is made and grown why not visit the vineyard or help to harvest the grapes, then follow with a traditional La Riojan meal? All of this can be organised by the hotel.

Hotel Viura puts the spa into sparkling wine: Why not pamper yourself with one of the hotel’s spa treatments. One treatment is called the “Wine Elixir” as it uses the healing anti-oxidising properties of grapes to help firm up the skin.

A barrel of laughs: This hotel is surrounded by fun activities to try out. You can go paragliding, hot air ballooning, horse riding, trekking, go in a 4X4 or canoe down the River Ebro. You can even try your hand (literally) at Basque pelota as there is a court near the hotel. Whether you want to train or watch, this is the perfect place for it. There are so many things to do and discover in this area!
