Monastic vineyard hideaway
Terracotta stone buildings sit beneath rugged Montsant peaks, surrounded by quiet estate vineyards, ancient olive groves, and wild rosemary.
“The hotel’s low-lying pink buildings, barely touched since their 12th-century incarnation, hunker down in front of the wild, rocky, Mars-like mountains of Priorat.”

What they say
Three Michelin Keys
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The style is upscale modern elegance, and the rooms retain more than a little bit of rustic character, from the beamed ceilings to the hardwood floors.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Hiking trails crisscross Montsant Natural Park, leading across rugged limestone slopes to the twelfth-century monastery ruins of Cartoixa d'Escaladei.
The rooms
Timber beams and exposed masonry frame television-free bedrooms, where select suites conceal deep soaking tubs behind sliding bookshelves.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Brick decks and cypress trees surround the unheated pool, looking across dry-stone terraces to the Montsant peaks.
The outdoor spa
Tucked inside an olive grove, a wooden barrel sauna and Nordic hot tub provide open-air relaxation.
Mater Terrae Restaurant
Hyper-local Catalan fare and estate vintages are served under woven reed ceilings or along the pergola-shaded terrace.
How it began

Carthusian monks first cultivated these slopes in the twelfth century, establishing an agricultural farm that pioneered winemaking across the Priorat region.
