What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
An 18th-century abbey has had a sleek modern refit at this small boutique hotel.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Narrow stone lanes wind through the quiet hillside village, surrounded by steep slate terraces and centuries-old vineyards.
The rooms
Vintage furnishings sit beside original stone walls, and bathrooms stock soaps made from local grape seeds and hazelnuts.
At the table
Tables beside arched windows look out over village roofs, set for breakfasts of local charcuterie and homemade breads.
How it began
The property served as Torroja's parish rectory from the eighteenth century, housing the village priest before its 2022 restoration.
