Charming 5-star hotel in Segovia
In a truly privileged position high up in Segovia's monumental Old-town, with beautiful panoramic views over the Eresma Valley, the Oblatas Convent, originally occupied by Capuccino monks, has been recently converted into a luxurious five star hotel.
The imposing building, which occupies the largest plot in the historic quarter, is just a short walk from the Plaza Mayor , the Cathedral , the Church of San Esteban , and the Antonio Machado House Museum, and less than ten minutes from the famous Aqueduct and the splendid fortress Alcazar of Segovia.
The décor is modern and tastefully minimalist, making stylish use of natural materials to bring out the building's historic charm and architectural features, and the hotel boasts all the facilities you would expect including a spa, gym and a delightful covered patio in which to relax.
Apart from the city's obvious charms there's plenty to do nearby. Don't miss a visit to La Granja (the Spanish Versailles) and the time-locked, wonderfully atmospheric, medieval villages of Pedraza and Sepulveda. The Sierra de Guadarrama is a short drive to the south of the city and the dramatic gorge of the Rio Duratón is within easy reach.

Segovia, Madrid and Inland Spain
Famous for its imposing Roman Aqueduct which, along with the Old Town, is a World Heritage site, Segovia is a wonderful melting pot of Spanish history. Here you can see the passing of Romans and Moors, explore the fine Jewish Quarter or visit the 16th Century Gothic Cathedral.The Old Town is crowded in upon a rocky bluff with the Moorish Alcazar at its prow with wonderful views across the wheat fields of Castille.Nearby the medieval villages of Pedraza and Sepulveda, the Hozes de Duratón nature park and the castle of Cuellar make excellent excursions and don’t miss La Granja de San Ildelfonso, the 18th-century royal palace set in wonderful grounds at the foot of the Sierra de Guadarrama.
