Castillo del Buen Amor

The moat is now a lovely walled garden with a glimmering pool, the battlements sunny terraces for guests to relax and take in the views, and the armoury a cool shady patio but in every other way this hotel is a very 'proper' castle indeed.

This XV century castle, at various times owned by Ferdinand, the Catholic King, the Duke of Alba and Cardinal Fonseca was declared a monument of national interest in 1931.

Looking out over vineyards to the dehesa beyond, where you can watch the cowherds at work, the castle is perfectly situated to visit monumental Salamanca and Zamora, home to Spain's finest collection of Romanesque architecture. For wine lovers the regions of Toro and Rueda are just nearby as is the Ribera del Duero, but beware, you might find it difficult to leave the hotel!
