The culinary experience at Santa Maria was unforgettable! The hot wok dishes were a flavor explosion and paired perfectly with their impressive local wines. The breakfast spread was a feast of delights, from pastries to eggs made just how you like! Plus, the stonework in our room felt luxurious, making it a cozy retreat after a day of exploring.

While the restaurant was dubbed 'gastronomique', it didn’t quite hit the mark and seemed pricey compared to other local Michelin-star gems we tried. Navigating the narrow lanes to the hotel was a bit of a trek, but let’s be real, everything else shined so brightly.

The rollercoaster I didn’t see coming

The staff were incredibly helpful, providing excellent restaurant bookings & suggestions! Dining in the atmospheric cave restaurant made our experience unforgettable.

Navigating the narrow roads to the hotel was quite tricky! Sadly, noise from neighboring rooms disrupted our peaceful getaway.

Exceptional architecture and interior design

My stay at Santa Maria Briones was truly memorable. The rooms were elegantly designed, featuring cozy furnishings that made me feel right at home. The breakfast buffet was delightful, offering an array of pastries and freshly made eggs, catering to all tastes.

No casual dining options nearby.

We were pleasantly surprised by the stunning views from our suite and appreciated the complimentary bottle of local Rioja wine upon arrival. The cozy common areas added an inviting touch to our stay.

Would recommend for a swift stopover

Beautiful hotel, beautiful restaurant, with top-notch food and service during our stay and a lovely complimentary welcome drink that added to the experience.

No problems at all.

A decent option for a stopover in Briones with exceptional value. The breakfast spread was impressive, with a great variety of pastries. For a more enjoyable stay, having a car is essential due to the location.

The cozy common areas and charming public seating made our stay special. Perfect for lounging after winery tours.

Felt good, no reason to complain.

A Hidden Gem in Briones with Exceptional Dining

Our two-night stay was enchanting! The staff's warm hospitality made us feel cherished. The Allegar Restaurant served a superb Michelin Star menu, showcasing exquisite wine pairings. Don't miss cozying up in the charming lounge with a glass of local Rioja after dinner. Perfect for couples seeking romance!

The stunning view from our junior suite was a highlight, complemented by the luxurious stonework in the bathroom and comfortable furnishings. The breakfast selection surpassed expectations, offering fresh fruits along with an impressive variety of pastries and eggs made to order. However, navigating the narrow roads to reach the location proved challenging, and while the on-site dining looked tempting, options for casual meals seemed limited. Overall, a memorable stay marked by beautiful design and attentive service, though slight inconveniences in access and dining options were noted.
