Exceptional service from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The whole property is like a serene oasis. Walkable to a few wineries and tasting rooms nearby. The restaurant was outstanding in terms of quality and service with a great wine list. Our room Verdejo was stylish but completely comfortable overlooking the garden and the front of the property. The garden area was large and also well furnished. We only stayed one night this time but will definitely do at least 2 next time.

The relaxed atmosphere from check-in to departure. The breakfast was out of this world - exceptional choice of food and we could have stayed for as long as we wished. Dinner again was superb. We both ordered steak - (mine rare and my wife’s medium rare) and the steak was cooked exactly as ordered. Excellent.

The conversion of this beautiful building has been completed with great care. No expense has been spared to create a wonderful space in which to relax. Our room, Tempranillo, was perfectly laid out, with a small lobby offering storage for bags. Off to the side, before the bedroom, a very well laid out bathroom; two sinks with storage under. Through into the dressing area with plenty of hanging space, proper coat hangers and drawers under. Completing this area, a counter with tea / coffee making facilities, fridge and safe. The bedroom was a lovely space, muted colours and furniture. The attention to detail is outstanding, with art works through the building. In the lounge area, there is a beautiful collection of Murano glass, shown in display cabinets built through the wall to the restaurant, which also houses a wonderful collection of wine. Staff are friendly and engaging. Maximiliano was very helpful and in the restaurant, Miren and her team offered help with the selection of wines and menu choices. Parking is either at the side of the hotel on the street ( perfectly safe) or in a small enclosed courtyard across the road. All in all, a wonderful hotel.

The hotel is gorgeous, the art pieces around the hotel and in the room are beautiful and authentic. Location is convenient to visit a lot of places and wineries in Rioja. Bed is comfortable and room amenities are great. Food is excellent, stuff is helpful and polite. Everything was outstanding.

This is not a big deal at all but a couple of days a background music choice was questionable: cover songs and not in their great interpretation. But the rest of the stay it was nice instrumental collection.

I LOVED my stay at Palacio de Samaniego! I don't know where to start. The facilities were impeccable; newly renovated it's clean and modern but classic. The building is well maintained and the staff are friendly and the place felt like home, I was very comfortable in it (felt safe, at home and physically comfortable the furniture was amazing). The hotel is like a little museum it was incredible with all of the art work you feel like you are living inside a little art gallery/museum. There are only 9 rooms so the hotel feels cozy and you know most of the people who are staying there with you. The staff are exceptional, I felt like I was in a B&B where everyone gets to know you and genuinely they were so kind and I got on with them, was sad to leave! Location is insanely amazing; the town only has the hotel and two wineries in walking distance but the hotel has almost everything you need. It's a great place if you are out all day and want to stay in and rest in the evening. You can walk out of the hotel and go on walks up the mountain behind it or down in the wineries below - it was breathtaking. The hotel has ebikes and we took them around to the villages nearby, such a bonus for the wine country! Overall the value was insane, at 300Euro/night you get so much but mostly you feel at ease.

The location meant there wasn't anything to go out and eat at in walking distance and there are no stores in the town (except at one winery nearby which isn't always open and is fine dining) however the restaurant is phenomenal and reasonably priced. I wouldn't say it's a reason for not going because there's Laguardia 10 minutes away if you want to get out and move around. Just something to note.

Palacio de Samaniego was fabulous. The building was beautifully restored while retaining some of the elegance and romance of its former life as a palace. We had a lovely room with a balcony on the front of the building and a view to village and surroundings. The village is charming, albeit tiny, and the surrounding vineyards breathtaking. The best part of the hotel experience was, without a doubt, the service. Both Max and Philippa were incredibly helpful in giving recommendations and securing reservations--Sugar, in Laguardia, may have been our favorite dining experiences while in Spain, (saying a lot as we also were in Madrid and San Sebastián, prior to Samaniego). Max deserves extra credit for making our biking expedition to local wineries a highlight of our trip--he even walked us through town to show us a little gravel road on which to ride. Thanks, Max and Phillippa for being so wonderful at your jobs!!!

Super cozy and charming but historic and elegant at the same time. The room decor was gorgeous. 90% of the people working there were locals, what a beautiful thing, they bring so much character and culture to the whole experience.

The Restaurant manager was a bit overbearing but the rest the restaurant and hotel staff were as charming as the building.

WE absolutely loved this hotel. First off, the renovation and decor was top notch. We are designers and could not find anything to criticize. The stafff was super friendly and accessible. all the meals we had were excellent. We loved the added amenity of the electric bikes and we had a wonderful ride through the vineyards as directed by the staff. We will definitely be back

This isn't a dislike but a personal comment. We were first booked into a room on the top floor. Although it was perfectly fine it had skylights rather than wall windows. We decided to upgrade into a jr. suite that was well worth the extra money in our opinion. It is such beautiful property that a room where you really feel luxurious was wonderful

This was perhaps the most lovely hotel experience we've ever had, and we've been traveling internationally for 45 years. Such a perfectly executed vision of a boutique hotel - no detail was overlooked. Having a Michelin starred restaurant steps from the impeccable room was am amazing bonus - and the staff was superb!!

Samanigo is a TINY village so nothing else there

Beautiful property with amazing art collection. The restaurant had exceptional food. Staff was very helpful in making arrangements and bookings. Located in a small town but close to some great wineries.
