COUNTRY HOME

El Retiro del Obispo

Staying at the Retiro, you rent a master suite with the option of adding an extra bedroom on the upper three floors for an additional fee. The first and second floor master suites are blessed with revealed castle stones placed during the wall’s construction in 1164. For guests who value ease of access, we suggest the first floor suite a few steps above the street level entryway. The second floor bedrooms evoke romance and comfort. Our third floor accommodation is a mini-apartment with fully equipped kitchen, walk in shower and two comfortable bedrooms. The fourth floor master suite has balcony windows looking over 3 provinces (Navarra, La Rioja & Pais Vasco). Guests will enjoy the ever changing colors as the seasons vary.

When selecting your room please consider that there is no elevator in our historically protected property. Depending on availability, the entire property can be reserved for private events (weddings, conferences, retreats, celebrations) for up to 18 guests.
