Quinta San Francisco

Hotel description

In the heart of the Castilian plateau, Quinta San Francisco stands as an exclusive rural hotel in Castrojeriz, a historic village along the Camino de Santiago. Surrounded by nature, gardens, and orchards, the hotel occupies a lovingly restored old hunting estate, offering an experience of serenity and comfort in an unmatched setting.

The soul of the place is embodied in the ruins of the 14th-century Convent of San Francisco, seamlessly integrated into the premises and protected as Historical Heritage. This legacy gives the hotel a unique character, reflected in its restaurant, La Bodega, its wellness space, its organic garden, and its meticulously maintained historic surroundings.

With 20 spacious and bright rooms, all overlooking the garden, the hotel combines neutral tones, oak wood, and minimalist design to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Gastronomy

In the south wing of Quinta San Francisco, the La Bodega restaurant opens its windows to the garden and the row of fruit trees that border it. The light, aromas, and colors of the landscape blend into the culinary experience, which can be enjoyed both indoors and outdoors when the weather permits.

At the helm of the kitchen is Josefa, the guardian of an honest Castilian cuisine, characterized by clean flavors and fresh ingredients. Her menu is inspired by what the hotel’s garden has to offer: creams, soups, and seasonal vegetables that reflect the natural rhythm of the estate. Each dish is accompanied by a carefully curated selection of wines: Ribera, Rioja, Rueda, Monterrei, and Rías Baixas.

Just a few steps away, the gourmet space invites guests to take a piece of the experience home. Cheeses, cured meats, wines, and artisanal sweets, such as the mostachones and almendrados made by the nuns of Santa Clara, complete this offering that pays tribute to simplicity, locality, and authenticity.

Wellness Area

Designed to provide a deep relaxation experience, the wellness area merges tradition with modern comfort. Thermal beds, a sauna, steam room, and sensory showers are integrated into an intimate setting with views of the garden. The experience can be enhanced with a reflexology massage, further soothing the body and mind.

After a day of hiking or a cultural getaway, this tranquil corner allows you to release physical tension and calm the mind. Natural light, outdoor aromas, and silence amplify its therapeutic effects. Here, every detail invites you to pause, breathe, and be enveloped in a serene sense of balance.

The gardens

The gardens of Quinta San Francisco invite you to pause and breathe. Lavenders, santolinas, salvias, and dozens of vibrant species fill the flowerbeds with color and fragrance, transforming the landscape with each season.

Nestled within the gardens, the organic garden shapes a living pantry: tomatoes, endives, onions, leeks, and other vegetables grow in rhythm with the earth, providing fresh ingredients directly to the kitchen of the restaurant La Bodega.

Just a few steps away, a row of fruit trees offers pears, quinces, apples, and chestnuts. At Quinta San Francisco, what is served is grown. That’s why here, flavor has roots.
