Nothing bad to mention, very good impression. No dedicated space for parking (like in other old towns), just drop your car nearby, next street or so. Definitely a good choice for wine tourism and not only!

Very pleasant small hotel, run by two nice ladies. Nice big room, with a high ceiling. It was very comfortable to sleep, not cold. Good breakfast (coffee, juice, toast, fruits, etc.). Perfect location to discover Rioja region - 30 min to Logrono, 5 min to Briones, 10 min to Haro.

La Capellania’s excellent reviews are well-deserved. From the moment we pulled up outside this gorgeous guesthouse/hotel and were greeted so warmly by the owners, Mercedes and Clara, we knew we had lucked into somewhere very special. It felt like we were coming to stay with family (albeit very discreet, professional family) - our long-lost Spanish cousins! The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean and wonderfully comfortable, the common areas are warm and inviting and the breakfasts are varied and delicious. All this within the walls of a beautiful historic building. But it was Clara and Mercedes who made our stay exceptional. They gave each and every guest individual attention. We were in the area for work and we could not have achieved what we did without the assistance of Clara and Mercedes who made some appointments for us using their wide circle of local contacts. This ensured we achieved more than we thought possible. We are so grateful for their assistance. One day we hope to return to this wonderful hotel just for a holiday. The town is lovely, the locals are warm and hospitable, the area is beautiful.

The town can really be a ghost town on certain days and nights. We often had to travel to Haro for dinners. It also would have been nice if there were a couple of shops open.

The two owners are absolutely delightful. The breakfast was very delicious and we really liked all of the available open spaces, both inside and outside. We were able to easily walk to our bodega tour which was perfect!

The hotel is exquisite and extremely well managed. The hosts were very welcoming, informative and friendly. The hotel is very close to the small but vibrant local square - Bar Del Castillo and Bar Jesus were great for drink and pintxos. It is an ideal location for touring Rioja Alta and into the Basque Country.

The hotel met and exceeded our expectations.

Beautifully restored historical building in an excellent location, 1 minute walk from the town square. The hotel is managed by 2 exceptionally kind hosts, Clara and Mercedes, who took great care to ensure our stay was very enjoyable by providing us with excellent recommendations on cultural attractions, restaurants and wineries of La Rioja making our time there very memorable.

Nothing. We loved our stay and would stay again.

The breakfast was fantastic and requests for additions to the menu were met with a smile. Clara and Mercedes were amazing and also happily provided information/suggestions re restaurants and wine tastings. They even made the bookings for us and vetted any bookings we had made prior to arrival to ensure we would have a great experience.

A fan in the room could help on very hot summer days.

Mercedes and Clara was wonderful hosts!! Hotel is centrally located in the Rioja Valley. Beautiful renovated boutique hotel. Large, comfortable clean room. The breakfasts was outstanding. Tea/coffee facilities and honesty bar downstairs. Parking nearby. Mercedes gave us lots of information about the town and surrounding places to visit. Bars are a stroll away and on a Friday evening there is pinchos/tapa available at all the bars.

Clara and Mercedes hosted us as we were part of their family. They always cared about our feelings and made everything their can to make us feel comfortable. Room is very spacious and very clean. The breakfast is just what you need in order to start your day exploring the wineries. The location is perfect. Short drive to lots of wineries and beautiful villages. Parking is free and on Friday evening there is pinxos night at town. Very lovely and welcoming people. One can tell that Clara and Mercedes truly put their hearts into the place. Highly recommended!

Air conditioning would have been lovely & a kettle in our room. (We did have access to tea & coffee making facilities in the communal area).

The property has been beautifully renovated to reflect the location. The hosts were so welcoming & helpful. Carla was a fabulous tour guide! San Asensio is true Northern Spain & we made very welcome by locals. Delightful courtyard garden at the hotel to relax in. Nothing was too much trouble. A wonderful visit.

location - village had limited bars and cafes to walk too, although prettier and more interesting villages/sights within an easy drive.

Great character, large room, very comfortable bed and pillows. plentiful and varied breakfast, honesty bar with excellent wine, courtyard and common areas for relaxation. Really friendly and helpful owners.

Nothing! Although the hotel has no dedicated parking, don't worry. Parking nearby was easy and safe

What a fantastic place to stay! An unusual property full of character and style in the heart of the Rioja region. The room was delightful with a very comfortable bed and great shower . There couldn't be better hosts than Clara and Mercedes who were unfailingly friendly and helpful. Bars and restaurants were a short stroll away. The breakfasts were outstanding. If you're looking at booking this place stop dithering and do it!

The town itself is a bit small, with very few options for lunch and dinner. On the other hand it feels authentic Spanish and isn't touristic.

The staff were super friendly and made sure there was nothing left to wish for. The room was spotless, beautiful and very comfortable, in such a characteristic and historic building. Also breakfast was amazing.

Stayed in June 2022

A little early in the season meant the restaurants weren't open yet.

The room was lovely and spacious. The breakfast was generous and set us up for the day. The village is in the middle of La Rioja Alta so there were vindyards in every direction. The host equipped us with lots of information about where to visit. Her recommendations were excellent.

Nothing to do with the property but the tolling of the church bell disturbed my sleep - every hour is chimed and then one ring for each half hour.

Fantastic hosts. Interesting staying in a lovely old property in a non-touristy Rioja village. Enjoyed the local restatauant and bar in the square. The hosts were wonderful. Great breakfasts.

Lovely little hotel in the small village of San Asensio in the Rioja Alta region. Perfect location for exploring the various sites nearby including the towns of Haro and Legrono and very close to the beautiful villages of LaGuardia, San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Briones (to name a few). San Asensio itself has a couple of restaurants and 4-5 very down-to-earth tapas bars if you don’t want to go far in the evenings. The hotel is beautiful and well done out. Hosts Mercedes and Clara were very helpful and knowledgeable about things to do in the area. The hosts paid a lot of attention to detail. Nice breakfasts too.
