An ordinary weekend can become a very special one when you plan to enjoy it in one of the romantic hotels near Madrid. Although the important thing is the time you spend with your partner in these idyllic enclaves, the decoration is well cared for, they have spa, good cuisine and you can add a cultural plan or activity in the surroundings, adds points to the experience.
1. El Toril Glamping
At El Toril you will have the feeling of having crossed half the world, but you will only be an hour and a quarter from the center of Madrid. Its Continentals Tents have the spirit of a luxury safari, but with views of a private lake and the Gredos mountains. It’s the opportunity to bond by watching the stars at night after a good hiking route in the morning and relaxing with a soothing bath, or even a spa session.
💶 Bed and breakfast: from 225€ for two people.
📍 Velada, Toledo
2. Bodega Quintín
La Bodega del Quintín makes clear its goal of being one of the most romantic hotels in Madrid, so it offers much more than a nice room. Because if in addition to sharing an experience, you take something from it, the bet is doubled. And as it is located in an 18th century winery, its one-night pack with wine tasting, cheese tasting, dinner and breakfast, is an ideal plan to celebrate any occasion.
💶 Pack for two people: from 140€.
📍 Calle Toril, 2 (Villarejo de Salvanés)
3. Box Art Hotel
Box Art Hotel is actually a double opportunity to spend the weekend in the mountains. One of its hotels, the Alpino, is in Navacerrada, and the other, La Torre, in Collado Mediano. But they start from different ideas: at the Alpino you will feel like you are in a giant cabin in the mountains overlooking a beautiful natural landscape, while La Torre is a completely modernized 19th century mansion with one of the best restaurants in the northern mountains of Madrid.
📍 Paseo de los Rosales, 48 (Collado Mediano)
4. Alcuneza Mill
Molino de Alcuenza is a small hotel with 17 rooms in Guadalajara and despite its size, it has a Michelin-starred restaurant, a full spa with beauty cabin and a garden with swimming pool. It is less than two hours from Madrid and nearby you can visit towns like Sigüenza or Medinaceli, full of Renaissance architecture, Roman, Arab and Visigoth remains, and surrounded by the Natural Park of the Barranco del Rio Dulce.
📍 GU 128 Km 0, Alcuneza-Sigüenza (Guadalajara)
5. The Parador de la Granja
The Paradores, as publicly managed hotels, are usually located in outstanding enclaves and historic buildings. The one in La Granja is in the Casa de los Infantes that Carlos III ordered to be built in the 18th century for his sons, the Infantes Gabriel and Antonio. A visit to Philip V’s favorite palace and its Versailles gardens is a must, as is a taste of Segovia’s gastronomy, including its star dishes: suckling pig and beans.
The spa and treatments will be the hedonistic highlight of this romantic trip for two.
📍 Calle Infantes, 3 (Real Sitio de San Ildefonso, Segovia)
6. Hotel Landa
The most beautiful pool in Spain is probably the one at this hotel. It’s just over two hours drive from Madrid, almost in Burgos, but, although the trip is a little longer than the rest, few things beat listening to the crackling of the fireplace lying in the hammock after a swim here.
Nothing you experience in this romantic hotel will be forgotten: neither its characteristic smell -you can buy its candles-, nor the rooms worthy of a medieval fairy tale, nor traditional dishes in the restaurant.
📍 Carretera Madrid-irun, KM 235 (Burgos)
7. Parador de Sigüenza
If there is a romantic place to escape to as a couple, it is a medieval castle. Sigüenza, an hour and a half from Madrid, has a parador that houses a fortress of the twelfth century very well preserved. From this place you can enjoy excellent views of the city of Guadalajara.
Some of the rooms in the building imitate the rooms of the important nobles who lived there and, as if the experience were not appetizing enough, in the spectacular vaulted dining room of the castle you can taste authentic La Mancha delicacies.
📍Castle Square (Sigüenza)
