Hotel Orfila
Hotel and restaurant in town (Madrid) The masterpiece, a rainbow of colours, is called the Garden of Earthly Delights. This triptych by Hieronymus Bosch enjoys an excellent position in the Museo del Prado, among the paintings of Vélasquez, Goya, Greco, Raphael, Titian and Rubens… Just five minutes from the museum, in the heart of cultural Madrid, another garden of delights awaits you. The Hotel Orfila, a small palace built in 1886, immerses you in an art gallery with its period furniture and feature marble. In the 1920s, it was made famous by the plays staged within its walls. Today, its tearoom and cocktail bar are imbued with English chic and its flowered patio invites you to dine under the stars. The best place to set off and explore Madrid at its own rhythm, step by step.
Palacio de Luces

The piano bar and the pool also extend invitations to relax and the ideal location between the sea and the mountains is conducive to the many, diverse activities on offer.

Hotel el Peregrino
Hotel and restaurant in a village (Puente la Reina) “And from here onwards, all the paths that lead to Santiago de Compostela come together…”. At the entrance to Puente la Reina, a plaque reminds visitors that this charming city close to Pamplona is born from the convergence of the pilgrimage paths. There is something religious in the air in this corner of Navarra and its aura spreads to the cloister of El Peregrino. It is here that the Cambero family has created a romantic, highly attractive palace. Against the backdrop of the beautiful stone, they have daringly gone for a decor which breaks with traditional canons: elegant dialogues between glass and wood, a rococo loft atmosphere in the rooms… Around the swimming pool, meals are taken in large wicker chairs and the cuisine is perfumed with herbs from the botanic garden.
Mas de Canicattí
Hotel and restaurant in the country (Vilamarxant) The owners of this “masía” nestled in an orange grove have made the citrus fruit their philosophy. 20 kilometres from Valencia, the “city of oranges”, this fruit is the source of inspiration for an extensive wellness programme in a property boasting contemporary, inventive decor. Between Zen lines and Moorish flourishes, you will dine in an Eden of orange trees, stay in a room called “gentle orange” or “honey mandarin” and savour the sweet pleasures of the “Orange Spa”. A vitamin cure awaits you between baths bubbling with quarters of lemons, oranges and grapefruit and facial treatments based on citrus zest. Paul Eluard was right, “the Earth is blue like an orange”...
Mirador de Dalt Vila
