What are the best hotels to stay in La Rioja?
What are cheap, but still comfortable?
I recommend the Lordship of Briñas The imposing facade of stone wall and this somewhat austere 18th-century palace gives only a small hint of what is to come inside. The hosts, Angela and Peter bought the hotel in ruins, but that professional interior designers that have transformed the place and are impregnated with a decorative touch. The central, for example, with its brick arches wafer interesting combines old world charm with fine antique furniture and paintings idiosyncratic. The jewel in the crown however it must be the Trompe l'oeil frescoes painted by Polish artist Dziamski Jull. The people of Briñas is also one of the most beautiful in the region of La Rioja making the hotel an ideal base to visit local houses and churches – a legacy of the region's 16th century golden age. A historical note. Briñas that once was the venue for Italian soldiers based here during the Spanish Civil War, although today the only thing to attack the senses is the stillness.
