Design-Driven Serenity in the Spanish Countryside
Tucked into the rolling hills of La Rioja, Finca de los Arandinos is more than a hotel—it’s a boldly curated experience. Equal parts winery, boutique stay, and design statement, this contemporary finca redefines what it means to escape to wine country. Here, rustic tranquility collides with architectural daring, creating a retreat where the unconventional is not just welcomed—but celebrated.
A Palette That Dares to Play
Set against the natural backdrop of the Sierra Moncalvillo Mountains, the interiors of Finca de los Arandinos are anything but shy. Pea-green trims, vivid floral wallpapers, and cheeky modern touches create a look that’s unapologetically expressive. It’s a welcome contrast to the minimalism so common in modern hospitality—this space brims with personality and playfulness, without losing its refined edge.
Rooms That Breathe and Inspire
Guest rooms are bright, thoughtful, and full of character. Light wood floors and sleek industrial lighting provide a modern canvas for saturated hues and unexpected design details. One wall is all window, flooding the space with sunlight and unbroken vineyard views. For travelers looking to stretch out, the junior suites offer added space with the same bold yet serene style.
Wine at the Heart of It All
As both a working bodega and hotel, wine is not just featured—it’s foundational. Guests can taste the estate’s own vintages—especially its Tempranillo—on the sweeping terrace, in the cellar, or simply in their room with the view to match. The connection to the land is felt with every swirl of the glass, each sip layered with the textures of the surrounding terroir.
Wellness Suspended in the Vines
Elevating the experience—literally—is the spa, perched above the vineyards with panoramic views. Here, guests can float, soak, and steam while sipping estate wine and watching the sun move across the valley. It’s the kind of spa where relaxation doesn’t feel clinical—it feels joyful, indulgent, and entirely in tune with the rhythms of the land.
A Creative Spirit in Wine Country
Finca de los Arandinos isn’t simply a place to stay—it’s a destination for the senses. Every corner tells a story of bold choices, from its expressive design to its deep-rooted winemaking traditions. Whether you’re following La Rioja’s famed wine route, discovering local flavors, or just disconnecting in a setting built for inspiration, this finca invites you to live fully, creatively, and well.
DNA Hotels Verdict
