Magical El Retiro de Obispo!
Came to celebrate 2 great friends wedding and decided to stay in Laguardia. What an amazing village and the overnight accommodations were all i had hoped. The beautiful sunrise in the morning was incredible as it peeked by the mountains. I will be back again!

As Perfect as it Looks
The inn has been beautifully restored. Our room was lovely. We spent 24 days in Spain and stayed in 9 hotels. El Retiro Obispo was by far the best overall. It's exceptional, along with host Terri. She went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. She booked two very different but equally delicious winery tours and lunches for us when we asked for her help.

WOW just WOW!! This is a must stay. Terri, the owner has thought of everything. The rooms are elegant, furnished in beautiful antiques and lovely Franco’s and colours that capture old Spain. Included is a kitchen in your suite and am amazing shared kitchen on the 5th floor with an wonderful patio overlooking the unique landscape of this region. Terri and her partner Robert were the most accommodating hosts. They will help you enjoy this wine region with whatever you want to do. From biking to wine tours, they will guide you in the right direction. What a gem. Highly recommended.

Quirky apartments and excellent host.
The building apartments have been finished in a quirky semi medieval style, with flickering hall wall lights. Everything is new and works perfectly. Our host, Robert, greeted us on arrival and spent plenty of time showing us round and recommending breakfast options, as the property is self catering. We would sray here again. Laguardia is a brilliant place for a 3 day stay.

Like staying in a luxury castle!
The rooms here are large and absolutely beautiful! The owners recently remodeled, and the attention to detail is evident throughout, while still staying with the theme of this quaint, midieval town. The beds were the most comfortable I've encountered on a trip, with luxurious sheets and towels. We had the room with a kitchen and it was large, and fully stocked. The town is a dream for history lovers, with no cars inside the walled city...you truly feel you've stepped back in time. The owner Terri is very responsive and helpful with anything you can think of. A great stay!

My husband and I loved this property- the building and room were lovely, the town is charming and the location is perfect for visiting wineries in La Rioja. Terri was a great communicator and she and her husband have lovingly restored this building into a wonderful retreat. We would highly recommend!

We had a very pleasant stay at El Retiro del Obispo. The property has been lovingly restored by its new owners with great attention to detail. Excellent bedding and amenities. Very accommodating hosts. Be mindful that there is construction directly behind the property, and they start work fairly early during the week. Non issue on weekends. Highly recommended property.

Enestående opplevelse
Laguardia i seg selv er en flott by, og dette hotellet gjorde oppholdet helt fantastisk. Både rom og service var helt supert. Terri hjalp oss med både middagsreservering og en enestående byguide opplevelse.

Gelegen in de ommuurde stad Laguardia. Alles dus op loopafstand. Zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaren. Charmante kamer, van alle gemakken voorzien. Wel wat warm (geen airco, we verbleven eind juli). Dakterras met volledig uitgeruste keuken op bovenste verdieping.
