THE BEST REVIEW

A hidden gem in the woods: Another architectural wonder of the late Romanesque. The entry fees for this site are about 1.5 euros. This is a rundown monastery has exceptional interiors.

PEACEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL GARDEN: Its a best visiting place for everyone because its absolutely beautiful. Forget the whole versailles comparison. It's not that, but in its own right it is lovely and WAY less people then Versailles. The four of us were the only people there wandering around the gardens and grottos and ponds and pergolas.

THE BEST REVIEW

A fascinating tour into the history: This manor house is probably not the best looking from the exteriors but, we loved it inside. The guide was kind enough to tell us the history of the building, the story behind the construction and visit the wineries there. A great tour of the hidden gem indeed!

THE BEST REVIEW

Highly Recommended : Despite being very modest rooms and limited services in place is very nice, elegant grand building construction and very quiet surroundings. It houses a granary that is unique for its size. If you are in Spain, then you must visit this place.
