Description
Located in the historic center of Uncastillo, tucked in between the narrow streets and below the Romanic Santa María Church stands this early 18th century house that is well integrated into the town’s medieval design. Behind the inn’s seemly humble façade formed of sturdy stone bricks, are hotel installations suitable enough for a nobleman of the past. This house had remained uninhabited for over 30 years, after having been home to four families at the same time, each of which occupied a different section of the house complete with a hearth, around which family life revolved in those days. Among other former uses, the house also contained at one point a small business on the first floor and a bar on the second floor. In town locals knew it as the house of Juana the Shepard, in honor the late owner’s grandmother. Now, a hotel. A pebble stone entryway leads to a reception area, opening to a sitting room with a wood stove and the dinning room with a fireplace, furnished with wrought iron and ceramic tables where excellent local sweet rolls are savored. Inma and Miguel Pemán, the owners, have recovered a great part of the wooden ceiling beams and walls display exposed stone of ocher hues. The interior décor was developed by Onteo, designer and owner of the hotel La Abubilla, in the province of Segovia. The result is a relaxed atmosphere. The study has incorporated objects restored in the renovation: doors, sinks, iron grills… The rooms, while not so spacious, are vivifying for the different colors painted on the walls, the checkered bed covers, golden draperies, and iron bedposts. The majority have a balcony and all have a their names carved out, each one of which corresponds to one of the many monuments in Uncastillo. The suites are much more roomy and radiate flavors tradition with their sloped ceilings and splendid views of the neighboring rooftops. The charming character pardons the necessity of having to reach it by stairs; an elevator box would interrupt the architecture. Finally, the breakfast deserves special attention for the high-quality sweet rolls, elaborated by a well-known baker from the area.

Our Critic review
THE WORST:
It is a little strange to arrive at the reception desk of the hotel and not find anyone there for several minutes. The owners, Inma and Miguel, have however come up with an efficient system to be contacted when the are away from the desk for extended lengths of time: they leave a mobile phone with a little note that explains step by step how to reach them. It’s a pretty good solution when the inn guests have stayed there before, but a little disconcerting for the new arrivals.
ROOMS WE RECOMMEND:
The rooms, all on the upper floors, turn out to be a bit small, however comfortable thanks to the beds, the cleanliness and the cheerful decoration. Small tables in the rooms offer a welcoming folder with extensive and well-presented information. The bathrooms, although quite small, are clean and equipped with wrought iron steel and wood furnishings and complete kit of rustic grooming products. Some of the rooms have a little balcony with views of the Romanic Santa María Church.

SURROUNDINGS:

By car, visitors look out upon this region that encloses: Sos del Rey Católico, Monastery of Leyre, the Javier and Loarre Castles; as well as the natural areas: Mallos de Riglos in Huesca; Foz de Lumbier in Navarra; and the Bárdenas Reales also in Navarra.
