Castillo El Collado was built in the beginning
of the century, it belonged to a gentleman who was
responsible for a facial soap factory. After his
death, following his will, the house was passed to
the church. Years later, the present owner, Javier,
bought it from the church to convert it into a
small hotel. Surely he had a very definite idea of
what he wanted to do, because he spent 10 years
refurbishing and decorating the place.

The hotel opened in 1996.
Javier is always there, usually you find him at the
front desk welcoming his guests. The hotel is
pretty busy, usually full, which is not a wonder
once you see and stay in one of the rooms and dine
in the restaurant. Each room is different; they go
by names and are truly beautiful in every detail.
The one at the top (second level) called Amor y
Locura, which literally translated means "love ad
madness" has the bathtub right behind the headboard
of a king bed!

Their gastronomy seems to be of importance as
well, gourmet groups come here to try the
restaurant. Javier specially recommends: Red
peppers stuffed with fish, in a tomato-pepper
sauce. And for dessert, a cream filled puffed
pastry with cinnamon - orange perfume. The wine:
Red: Vintage Santa Maria Lopez - Solar Viejo 1996
or if you prefer white: Marques de Riscal 1998.
