Castillo El Collado was built in the beginning of the century, it belonged to a gentleman who was responsible for a facial soap factory. After his death, following his will, the house was passed to the church. Years later, the present owner, Javier, bought it from the church to convert it into a small hotel. Surely he had a very definite idea of what he wanted to do, because he spent 10 years refurbishing and decorating the place. The hotel opened in 1996. Javier is always there, usually you find him at the front desk welcoming his guests. The hotel is pretty busy, usually full, which is not a wonder once you see and stay in one of the rooms and dine in the restaurant. Each room is different; they go by names and are truly beautiful in every detail. The one at the top (second level) called Amor y Locura, which literally translated means “love ad madness” has the bathtub right behind the headboard of a king bed! Their gastronomy seems to be of importance as well, gourmet groups come here to try the restaurant. Javier specially recommends: Red peppers stuffed with fish, in a tomato-pepper sauce. And for dessert, a cream filled puffed pastry with cinnamon - orange perfume. The wine: Red: Vintage Santa Maria Lopez - Solar Viejo 1996 or if you prefer white: Marques de Riscal 1998.

▪ Restaurant ▪
 The restaurant is divided into three elegant rooms, each quite different. The menu takes the typical cuisines of La Rioja and the Basque Country and offers them in 70 different dishes, some wholly traditional and others quite avant gard. Desserts are a specialty of the house, with everything made on the premises. Finally, the wine list covers the most well-known and the most prestigious wine labels of the region. ▪ Tavern ▪
 Spacious and comfortable facilities, totally isolated from the hotel. Located on the ground floor, with its entrance on the outside. It offers a complete range of tapas, for the "snacking" or for those summer casual dinners. Entertained with good music. On weekends and at night, it serves as a quiet club. ▪ Bar ▪
 Located on the main floor. Surrounded by beautiful stained glass windows, art nouveau, made by the current owners, following the style of the windows that existed in the original building. It has a nice garden view. ▪ Wine Cellar ▪
 The Collado has wine cellars where you can check the conditions of light and humidity that is pampered with this authentic 'nectar of the gods'.
