Modernist ridge folly
Communal stone lounges in a historic hermitage contrast with timber-clad pavilions scattered across a fragrant ridge of rosemary and wild thyme.
“We particularly like the hotel’s Kubes, ten minimalist villas inspired by the architecture of Craig Ellwood and Mies van der Rohe.”

Ten timber-clad modernist cubes perched along a ridge feature west-facing glass walls, suspended fireplaces, and copper-treated pine.

What’s most striking about Consolación is the modern architecture of the outlying guest rooms, each one a wooden cube perched at the edge of the bluff…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The rugged hills of Matarraña surround the property, where quiet country roads wind through pine forests, almond orchards, and olive groves.
The rooms
Kube pavilions feature west-facing glass walls, suspended wood-burning fireplaces, and deep black slate tubs sunken directly into the stone floors.
The infinity pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An outdoor infinity pool sits along the ridge, looking out across the pine valley and surrounding hills.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant Consolación
Set in a converted stone barn, the dining room serves regional dishes spotlighting seasonal Matarraña produce.
At the table
A self-service honesty bar lets you pour drinks at your own pace from illuminated metal shelving.
How it began
Centuries after the stone hermitage was built, architects Camprubí i Santacana added ten modernist pavilions inspired by mid-century Californian architecture.
