HLEO4, San Esteban de Valdueza, Madrid and Inland Spain
A typical 'Bierzano' stone building recently converted into a comfortable, charming small hotel by the owners who also run the village's popular 'Mesón' restaurant. In an idyllic situation at the entrance to the Valle del Silencio the hotel is the perfect base to discover the main highlights of El Bierzo; Las Medulas, Villafranca, Ponferrada with its Knights Templar castle, Peñalba de Santiago and the Camino de Santiago - but you might just be tempted to stay put and soak in the scenery...
Lounge area for guests Terrace for sitting out
Popular country style restaurant offering typical El Bierzo cuisine including char-grilled meats, peppers and embutidos (charcuterie), trout and local wines.Nice terrace at the rear.Breakfast served in the hotel.
At the entrance to the magical Valle del Silencio, at the heart of the El Bierzo region, San Esteban de Valdueza is the perfect base to visit Las Médulas and the castle of the Knights Templar at Ponferrada. The village itself, on the banks of the Rio Oza and surrounded by vertiginous mountains, offers peace and tranquillity with wonderful walking direct from the door. Not to be missed is the trip up to Peñalba de Santiago at the top of the valley, the true essence of El Bierzo, untouched by the passage of time.
