Run by a charming and immensely helpful owner-manager who has lived in the house for all his life, this is a really top quality place to stay. Our room was pleasant, with a nice view out of the front across the plains of Rioja. There is a great terrace for pre-dinner drinks, and we were greeted with a complimentary glass... More

We were touring Spain with our Aunt & Uncle (who we had not seen for 5 years and adore) and we were booked into Castillo El Collado. Javier and Raphael were excellent hosts - from making certain that we had rooms that met our satisfaction to providing a much need lunch and a marvelous dinner. Breakfast the next morning was...

Despite reading several favourable reviews, my wife and I were delighted with our one night with Javier and his team. The hotel is perfectly located to visit Laguardia. Car parking is easy. The terrace is great for a light lunch. The accommodation was fine. The evening meal was first class --especially the wine. Javier made us most welcome and we... More

We stayed for one night only - booked direct - two rooms for us and the children. Service was excellent, food on set menu interesting(cheaper if you book in advance and are resident) and the hotel is an architectural gem. Don't miss an evening stroll in the town after dark - very safe and atmospheric. Be careful with the credit... More

The owner Javier, and his assistant Raphael are just brilliant. A very very very good experience. If you are in Spain and within 300 miles of this Hotel Go There. Javier/Raphael thank... More

We recently stayed at the Castillo el Collado in Laguardia, Spain. We stayed for an entire glorious week with three couples, one of whom has a six year old daughter. The hotel is quite small and the rooms are very large, spotless and full of local character. We had two 'standard' rooms and the 'premium' on the third floor. The... More

We arrived and Javier met us at the door. While I parked the car, this thin, wonderful man carried our massive suitcases up to the room. I never would have let him, but I was sent away to park. We stayed in the "Love and Madness" room. I parked, came in, looked around and said "Holy ####!" because the room... More

June 6th, 2011 we had dinner in Restaurant Castillo El Collado and we loved it. The welcome was very warm and we felt at home directly. Without asking two aperitives were presented (croquettes and some garlic potato bean soap) to share. The first course were Iberico ham (very special) and fresh aspargus. My partner choose the sea bass and I... More
