Castilla Termal Hoteles has established itself as Spain’s first luxury thermal hotel chain, blending history, well-being, and wine tourism into a unique concept. With five operational establishments and a sixth on the way, the brand focuses on restoring historic buildings and integrating them into rural surroundings, offering holistic experiences that combine relaxation, culture, and gastronomy. Its presence at the International Wine Tourism Fair (FINE) highlights its commitment to excellence and sustainability in the wine tourism sector.

Betting on history to discover wine

Since its inception, Castilla Termal has focused on rehabilitating historic monuments and transforming them into wellness spaces. Its hotels are housed in iconic locations such as monasteries, palaces, and ancient convents, all restored with great respect for their historical and cultural value. A prime example is the Monasterio de Valbuena, in the heart of Ribera del Duero, a 12th-century Cistercian architectural gem that now hosts one of the brand’s most emblematic hotels.

Castilla Termal’s dedication to wine tourism is evident in its strong connection with some of Spain’s most prestigious Denomination of Origin regions, such as Ribera del Duero and Rueda. It is no coincidence that its hotels are located in renowned wine-producing areas, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in an authentic wine and wellness experience.

Experience something unique

Beyond accommodation and thermal wellness, Castilla Termal offers a wide range of tailor-made wine tourism experiences. The Castilla Termal 360º Experience allows guests to visit three of its most distinguished hotels—Monasterio de Valbuena, Burgo de Osma, and Olmedo—combining relaxation, gastronomy, and exclusive winery tours.

Each hotel offers unique experiences, such as the Antioxidant Wine Ritual, which utilises the beneficial properties of grapes in anti-ageing treatments. Additionally, guests can take guided tours of prestigious wineries like Dominio de Atauta, Finca Villacreces, and Pago de Carraovejas, where they can learn about the winemaking process and participate in private tastings.

The Converso Restaurant, under the guidance of Michelin-starred chef Miguel Ángel de la Cruz, is another key element of Castilla Termal’s wine tourism offering. Its farm-to-table philosophy ensures high-quality, sustainable cuisine, using local ingredients—many sourced directly from Castilla Termal’s own organic gardens.

Renewable energy as a complement to the proposal

Sustainability is one of Castilla Termal’s core values. The chain not only restores historic buildings but also implements responsible tourism practices, such as the use of renewable energy, carbon footprint reduction, and strong partnerships with local producers. This commitment extends to its gastronomic offer, which focuses on zero-kilometre products and organic farming.

Furthermore, Castilla Termal’s responsible tourism model contributes to local communities by generating employment and promoting rural economic growth. A prime example is the upcoming Palacio de Avellaneda hotel in Peñaranda de Duero, where a €12 million investment will not only restore a significant heritage site but also create jobs and enhance the region’s tourism appeal.

Castilla Termal offers a unique approach to wine tourism, merging history, well-being, and wine into an unparalleled experience. Its participation in the International Wine Tourism Fair (FINE) is the perfect opportunity to discover its latest innovations and explore new ways to enjoy wine in historical and natural settings.
