Location
About the surrounding area of Paso de GuardiaConstructed in the 11th century, The Castle was originally built as a military fortress, supporting a moat and acting as a sanctuary for troops. The castle was then used by the Catholic monarchs of Spain throughout the centuries, an important base for armies and war! The castle was then transformed into a home, in the late 15th century. Today, the castle has undergone renovation and restoration work to not only bring you one of the most extraordinary places to stay but also a wonderfully preserved slice of history!
The castle sits in between the Zamora and Salamanca provinces in Central Spain. Beautifully decorated, guests can spend as much time as they want in the beauty of the castle, thanks to the array of services and amenities offered, which also make it an excellent wedding destination. Your stay in the castle gives you an immersive step back into time and you can tour the grounds and learn about its illustrious history in detail!
There are several halls and rooms throughout the castle, where you can hold events, such as meetings, family gatherings and of course marriage ceremonies. The castle extends a restaurant, where you can enjoy traditional and exquisite meals with service fit for a king! Meals are traditional flavours of Spain and the castle also extends tasty treats. You can enjoy romantic meals in a tower, served by a Butler as you overlook the grounds or make it more a boozy event, with delicious wines. Speaking of wines, why not try some wine-tasting or take a tour of the castle's very own vineyard! Treat yourself, with pampering and relaxing massage or jump into the outdoor pool on the grounds. Why not hire a car and head into the town, with a range of luxury, classical vehicles that you can rent!
Locally, you can visit farms and vineyards, including the pig farms where world-famous Iberian Pork is made. Why not pass through the nearby regions, where you can visit medieval villages that you will love: Ledesma, Candelario, Mogarraz, Miranda del Castañar, Toro, the ruins of Villanueva de Campeán, are just some we suggest!
Head down to Salamanca, the once intellectual capital of Spain and hosting so much history and architecture, it has become a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. As one of Spain's best University cities, you can expect a diverse range of places, including international dishes, bars and clubs!

Reviews

A perfect stopover just that it was too short a stay.
Stunning with spacious rooms and lovely dog beds provided (and treats for the dogs too).
Loved it all. -

Another Fabulous Stay
We stay here on our trips driving to and from Portugal and love it. A very relaxed atmosphere and a highlight for us is sitting in the gardens sharing a bottle of wine produced from the grapes of the castle’s vineyard. Dinner always has a good choice with a whole page of the menu dedicated to imaginative vegetarian options. A good selection at breakfast too with something for everyone. The fruit selection is really well presented.
