Abadia Retuerta Ledomaine Hotel

Sardón de Duero Valladolid, Spain

If you want a serving of serious Spanish food, glorious heritage architecture and fine local wine, Abadía Retuerta LeDomaine delivers. Big time. Elegantly crafted from a 12th-century abbey that sits among the vines of the central Duero Valley, its 22 serene rooms and suites are the result of a €30 million renovation. Beyond the tastefully reimagined monks’ accommodation, public spaces include a divine 16th-century cloister, a domed baroque staircase and a Romanesque church. In the towering refectory, underneath a fading fresco of The Last Supper, chef Pablo Montero, formerly of Mugaritz in San Sebastián serves up dishes such as crispy baby lamb in quinoa and bone marrow rye toast. IB. Doubles from £250.
