Contemporary eco-chic meets centuries-old heritage in stunning rural Spain. Overlooking a spectacular river valley filled with pines and wildflowers- Torre del Marques Hotel Spa and Winery is a 18th-century farmhouse turned eco-luxe retreat. Escapism is the name of the game here- as soporific days around the pool turn into balmy nights watching the stars. The old building has been beautifully converted with a sensitive hand - inside the honeyed stone walls interiors are cool and calming- with elegant shades of taupes and greys. Textures of smooth wood meet ancient walls and contemporary tiles. Outside spaces continue the restful theme- everything designed to enhance appreciation of the beautiful valleys and rolling olive groves surrounding the hotel. Torre del Marques has strong eco-credentials too; solar panels and clever tech ensure smart use of energy. And the light-filled restaurant- with floor-to-ceiling windows offering views over the vineyards has a farm-to-table philosophy- offering diners the very best of organic produce from the local area. If you can bear to leave the pool - embark on gentle explorations into the stunning surroundings. Torre del Marques Hotel Spa and Winery is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
