Historic gem in the heart of La Rioja Alta. Fine 18th-century baroque townhouse deep in Spain’s legendary wine country, bursting with history and charm. Now a spectacular boutique hotel, the property is a masterful fusion of past and present, offering modern comfort with an aura of period authenticity. It offers eight double bedrooms (all en-suite) and a versatile attic space in a prime location for enotourism. Standing on a quiet, winding street in the beguiling village of San Asensio, this noble residence dates back to 1798. Over 200 years later, in 2007, it was lovingly restored, its historic ambience all the headier for a splash of impeccable contemporary taste. At 748 sqm, this four-storey property is packed with wonderful historic features, including a baroque masonry façade, 18th-century ironwork and a magnificent stone staircase crowned by a dome with its original oculus. As a welcome modern intrusion, there’s also a lift. The current owners have created a much-loved boutique hotel, charming guests with a selection of 8 inviting double bedrooms, cosy lounge with fireplace, dining room and an open-air courtyard extending to 62 sqm. The fourth floor houses a loft apartment that could easily be brought together with the rest of the building to expand the number of bedrooms. San Asensio, celebrated for its winemaking heritage, makes an ideal base for exploring the region’s top visitor attractions, such as Haro, Logroño, the Monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla and the Vivanco Museum of Wine Culture in Briones. The property is presented for sale with all furnishings included. If hotel management is not in your game plan, how about the headquarters of a brand new winery, self-catering accommodation or simply a phenomenal private residence? For all its individuality, this is a home where you can choose your own adventure. In short, a unique investment opportunity where history, hospitality and heritage come together in one extraordinary property.
