Posada Doña Cayetana, Piedrahita

This small, historic property is set in the village of Piedrahita, surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the Gredos mountains.

The Posada Doña Cayetana lies beside the village church, overlooking the ancient castle. Once an aristocratic family home, the historic building has recently been transformed into a charming hotel and restaurant. The property’s rich history is reflected in its carefully preserved features, decor and atmosphere. Meanwhile, modern facilities include hydromassage showers and baths in the rooms.

Use the hotel as a base to spend a day out in the marvellous scenery of the surrounding mountains. Here you can enjoy outdoor activities ranging from walking to paragliding, with help from the knowledgeable hotel staff.

The local mountains are especially popular amongst paragliders and often host European championships. The area is also famous for its equestrian culture and frequent horse festivals. During the winter months you can head to the nearby ski resort of La Cobatilla, 30 km away.

A number of illustrious guests have passed through the village and the house throughout recent centuries. This cultural heritage is enthusiastically supported by the hotel, which frequently hosts book readings and discussions on a wide range of cultural topics in its own library.

Each of the guestrooms is named after a noble title associated with the building’s long history. Each one comes with either a hydromassage shower, hydromassage bath or antique-style bathtub.
