Hotel Pago del Vicario, Ciudad Real

Hotel. A garden, a pool, a vineyard, a bottle of wine… a little piece of heaven. These things and more are what keep attracting people to the Hotel Pago del Vicario. Situated only 9 kilometers from Ciudad Real, the hotel consists of 23 cozy rooms in a contemporarily designed structure echoing the cutting edge approach the winery uses to generate great bottles of wine. The bodega of Pago Del Vicario offers hotel guests the unbelievable opportunity to truly experience the art of winemaking. Having access to the vineyards and Pago del Vicario wines remains a major perk for hotel guests. Footpaths lead the way through the estate, passing through the farm and the vines. Whether walking or biking, the scenery never disappoints.

Wine. The home of seven different varieties all with the same purpose: to fulfill the senses. The winery began as a dream of the Barco brothers to create a haven of wine and gastronomy. The rolling hills of the vineyard are diverse in soil and temperature allowing for such great variations in the wine, providing each healthy grape with a twist to classic flavors. Although the Pago del Vicario vineyard is one single continuous vineyard, its heterogeneous qualities yield superb variations of the classics.

Dining. The Pago del Vicario restaurant alters its menu with the seasons. Committed to only creating the freshest and best dishes, Chef Jose Alfonso Merlo, will make you savor his cuisine. The restaurant’s a la carte menu, along with the short and long menus, changes with the market-fresh produce and traditional seasonal plates. In the fall, the restaurant creates a classic stew daily combining local game and hearty vegetables to warm the palate.
