What they say
Michelin Selected

An exclusive hotel occupying an impressive 15C palatial property in the heart of the city’s historic quarter.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors face the Convent of San Esteban, and the Old Cathedral is a short walk away.
The rooms
Solid oak floors and whirlpool bathtubs ground the rooms, pairing contemporary comforts with Molton Brown amenities.
The spa
Heated mosaic loungers sit beside a hydrotherapy tub fitted with a gooseneck waterfall jet and underwater bubble beds.
At the table
Ment serves creative regional dishes beneath carved coffered ceilings, surrounded by the palace's ancient stone walls.
How it began
A fifteenth-century knight built the palace, but eighteenth-century businessman Gregorio Diego Curto left it his name.
