What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It occupies the former Convento de las Oblatas and offers modern comforts within its imposing stone walls.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Segovia's walled old quarter surrounds the property, with the Academia de San Quirce next door and the Eresma valley below.
The rooms
Guest rooms lean sleek and contemporary, keeping things simple inside the convent's thick limestone shell.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Swan-neck jets and water cascades feed the indoor hydrotherapy pool, and the fitness room stays open around the clock.
The spa
Treatment rooms sit beneath curved brick ceilings, with private spaces for couples and rituals using natural aromatherapy oils.
At the table
Restaurante Villena serves seasonal Castilian tasting menus over checkerboard marble, and mornings begin in the glass-roofed atrium.
How it began
Capuchin friars founded the site in 1637, followed by spells as an artillery barracks and an Oblate convent school.
