What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Helguera Palacio, weighing in at a mere 11 rooms, invites a privileged few to slumber in sophistication, in an atmosphere of antique elegance…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Low stone walls crisscross the Pasiego Valleys outside, where fourteen acres of private meadows and quiet parkland stretch into the countryside.
The rooms
Individually styled quarters feature Louis XV furnishings, exposed stone walls, and English wool mattresses dressed in fine Egyptian cotton.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated indoor-outdoor pool flows past a monumental stone fireplace and looks across the rolling meadows.
The spa
A moody thermal suite holds a dry sauna and steam room alongside quiet treatment rooms for holistic massage.
