Overall nice hotel, the breakfast was good and the view from the top is amazing. Parking is a little tight, staff very welcoming and accommodating. They do have an issue with flies, around the main entrance and on the roof. If you open the window in your room, the flies will find their way in.

A little off the beaten track but well worth the journey. Loreta was fabulous as was Pascual. Nothing was to much trouble. We had a lovely stay. Thank you. We ate in the restaurant and the food was amazing. Definitely would recommend and stay again. Plus I got to practice my Spanish 😊

Stay in a castle, eat elsewhere
The hotel is a very unique place to stay. Our bedroom was spacious, and we enjoyed the antique decor. The room had a lovely view, and the view from the rooftop terrace is spectacular during the day and at night and especially at sunset. Front desk staff were helpful. The bathroom could definitely use some improvement: we didn't have hot water in the shower for the first day of our 2-day stay. Even when we did get hot water in the shower, the shower was unpleasant, with water spraying in all directions. While we would recommend the hotel, we would not recommend the restaurant (aside from the breakfast included with your stay). The dinner we had was one of the worst we've ever had. We did the 3-course meal option for hotel guests and the steak was inedible. It was thin, rubbery, and dripping with grease. Truly disgusting. The rest of the food also just tasted like a grease bath with whatever substance had been prepared in it: potatoes, croquettes, lamb. I felt nauseous after eating dinner there.

pleasant overnight stop
used as a stopover on a long drive from northern France to visit friends in Southern Spain. After an horrendous drive, this was just what we needed. A little oasis of calm. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable and the welcoming bottle of wine was much appreciated. Wish we had a little longer to enjoy the pool

Castle not fit for a King
It’s not often we get to stay in a renovated castle, so that was a treat. We were a bit disappointed with the staff who could have been more helpful with bookings to the local wineries. Since it’s a small hotel it is minimally staffed. There is one amazing woman who basically does it all. We were pleased with their laundry service.

Nice stay during wine vacation
My girlfriend and I had a very nice stay at the castle while wine-touring. The staff was very helpful and accommodating, even with my poor Spanish. They helped me arrange an early check-in after an overnight flight, and they made several local calls to wineries and restaurants for me to make reservations. The castle and setting were beautiful - do yourself a favor and buy a bottle of Ribera and drink it on the roof at sunset - stunning views! Americans must understand, though, that this isn't like a US hotel. The shower was cramped, when I opened the windows for air, several flies came in as there were no screens and wifi was spotty. But if you are OK with the differences of traveling in Europe, you'll enjoy the charm and location of this place. Breakfast was a modest continental one, but fine for us. Parking was free and easy. The town of Curiel offers one tiny bar with a very limited selection, but a couple of wineries. We drove a rental car from Madrid - a very easy drive of 90 minutes.

Wonderful weekend getaway
Beautiful building and location, very easy drive to the various wineries in the area. Friendly and helpful staff, pleasant to handle any tours we wanted to book or with more accurate directions. The breakfast spread was a bit sparse, and left us looking forward to a more sustaining lunch. We did not have dinner at the on-site restaurant, but on a late evening arrival, the staff was more than happy to accommodate us if we chose to dine Definitely great for a romantic weekend getaway or on the way to more lively destinations - there's not much in terms of entertainment in the area. The rooftop area and pool provided awesome views during the day and beautiful for stargazing at night. Blankets were provided in room for when we got chilly! Would definitely return to stay here if we decided to do another trip to the Ribero del Duero region, the other hotels may be more modern or posh - Real Castillo has all the same amenities in my opinion; the wi-fi however needs some work... but can you say you stayed in a real castle?!

This was a very cool experience - we rented a car which allowed us to stop here. The castle has been built fairly recently using the remains of the previous castle however it is full of antique furniture and "old time" decorations and architecture. They have a pool on the roof, the restaurant was lovely, the views were incredible and it was so affordable! By far, the coolest place we stayed on our trip, loved it!

Castle in Curiel
The first view of this castle is fantastic, as it is perched high on the hill over the little village of Curiel. The steep drive upwards is rewarded by the views across the valley. The reception from the staff is friendly and professional. We stayed in room number 3, which had a lovely little window looking out to the fields below. The roof top terrace and swimming pool is a bonus in the warm weather, and our room had comfortable beds. The dining room is beautiful and our food was cooked to perfection and accompanied by our choice if a lovely local red wine. We took a 20mins walk to the village and found a local bar next to the old church, where we sat and had a refreshing glass of wine and listened to the locals voicing their opinions on various matters. It was then time for the walk back up the hill to our hotel to enjoy our dinner.

Great place to stay, lots to see locally and a perfect place for wine buffs. Historians will love the tours of the local castle. The approach to the hotel can be tricky for inexperienced drivers and make sure your brakes are in good order.

Completely underwhelmed/disappointed
Stayed for 2 nights. Steeped in history with lousy customer service. Leaking toilets, bad smell in bathroom, cold water or tepid at best. Booked king bed, given singles. Dining unremarkable, ordered tea and given hot water! Heating made a noise the entire time even when switched off. Water leaking in corridor, area rugs a complete hazard. Wineries in area were mainly closed and staff unhelpful at finding one open during a weekend. Hotel in serious need of a total remodel.

Love this little castle!
I truly love this little castle. This was our second trip here and it was just as special as we remembered. The staff makes you feel as if you’re at “home” and take care of everything you need. Peñafiel is the heart of the Ribera del Duero wine country so you are only a few minutes away from some of the best wineries in the world.

medieval castle - renovated
This is a rebuilt castle on a 10th century foundation, so it feels very special, on top of a steep hill. It is a bit isolated, but less than ten minutes from Penafiel. Very quite of course, nice rooms, wi-fi, a small swimming pool on top of the tower, nice restaurant, very unique.

Decepcionante. Buenas vistas, silencio y buen desayuno, lo más positivo. Reservamos por la piscina, y cuando fuimos a utilizarla y bañarnos el agua no estaba transparente y falta de higiene. Malos olores en el baño. Falta de mantimiento y limpieza. Muebles rotos, oxidados... Realmente no vale la pena el alojarse. Calidad precio muy decepcionante, una pensión de carretera es superior. En Peñafiel pudimos encontrar alojamientos con 4 * más baratos y de mucha mucha gran calidad con piscina realmente con agua clara y sanitariamente para bañarse. Tiene un nombre que no se merece. Esperemos que cambien o cierren para no engañar a los huéspedes. En resumen: decepcionante y debería perder la licencia de alojamiento. Alguna autoridad debería de controlarlo.
