5-star Hotel / Parador
HSEG4, Segovia, Madrid and Inland Spain
Charming 5-star hotel in Segovia
In a truly privileged position high up in Segovia's monumental Old-town, with beautiful panoramic views over the Eresma Valley, the Oblatas Convent, originally occupied by Capuccino monks, has been recently converted into a luxurious five star hotel.
The imposing building, which occupies the largest plot in the historic quarter, is just a short walk from the Plaza Mayor , the Cathedral , the Church of San Esteban , and the Antonio Machado House Museum, and less than ten minutes from the famous Aqueduct and the splendid fortress Alcazar of Segovia.
The décor is modern and tastefully minimalist, making stylish use of natural materials to bring out the building's historic charm and architectural features, and the hotel boasts all the facilities you would expect including a spa, gym and a delightful covered patio in which to relax.
Apart from the city's obvious charms there's plenty to do nearby. Don't miss a visit to La Granja (the Spanish Versailles) and the time-locked, wonderfully atmospheric, medieval villages of Pedraza and Sepulveda. The Sierra de Guadarrama is a short drive to the south of the city and the dramatic gorge of the Rio Duratón is within easy reach.
