Anybody who has been to La Rioja knows that staying in a hotel with history and tasting good wine is the way to go. But if you want to experience something completely special you should visit Casa Grande Hotel.
An 18th century manor house turned into a relaxed hotel project with just 11 rooms.
The essential and detailed design is the signature of the interior designer Francesc Rifé, for many the key to the success and distinction of this project.
The village, situated on the route of the Camino de Santiago, offers a beautiful setting where we can walk along its paths and trails, experiencing the calm and positive energy felt by the owners, Mònica and Raül when they arrived in Grañon. For many travel enthusiasts, this could be a little slice of heaven.
Both inside and outside the walls have been left with exposed stone, with the aim of preserving the essence and simplicity of the house itself, achieving a unified image throughout the building. The design always obeys certain rules and the spatial details fulfil an objective, but it is also true that in the “Casa Grande Hotel” they worked hard to make invisible energies palpable, such as the emptiness and the luxury of the large spaces.
The ground floor also has a restaurant, a small wine cellar and a terrace where you can savour typical regional dishes conceived by the hands of our chef.
Casa Grande Hotel has 11 rooms, all different, ranging from 22 m2 to 42 m2, most of them larger than 35 m2, including one with a balcony and another with a beautiful terrace.
The first level houses five rooms with masonry or exposed brick or concrete walls, while the first floor has six rooms designed as suites characterised by higher ceilings.

Location Casa Grande Hotel
Grañón is a thousand-year-old village of 300 inhabitants, crossed by the Camino of Santiago, where tourists will discover peace and quiet. Its incomparable beauty leaves no one indifferent, as we find ourselves in a town surrounded by a lunar landscape, due to the shapes of the unirrigated fields, where the predominant colour varies depending on the season of the year.
The town has excellent communications with the rest of La Rioja, as the A-12 motorway ends here. This enables our visitors to reach any other town of interest in a short time. We are situated just 20 kilometres from the ski slopes of Valdezcaray; 25 kilometres from Haro, the Wine Capital; 31 kilometres from Briones and its spectacular Museum of Wine Culture; 29 kilometres from San Millán de la Cogolla and its majestic monasteries of Yuso and Suso… And also very close to other towns with a wealth of heritage and landscapes, such as Sajazarra and Cuzcurrita del Río Tirón, with their imposing castles; Leiva and Tormantos, bathed by the dam; Cañas and its monastery; Cihuri and its Roman past; Casalarreina.
But we are also in the Rioja Alta, a land of good wines and better food, bordered by barley fields and beech forests, where the water flows in the middle of August.
From the spikes that fill the crowded bars of the restaurants, to the vegetables and rich meats of an agricultural and livestock land that supplies the cookers and grills with tasty food. Or the most exquisite and avant-garde proposals. It is hard to find a better place to eat and drink in this land with the name of wine.
