Spain Vacation

Wine, Slow Food and Golf in the Spanish Ribera Del Duero Guzman Vacation Rental by Owner Listing 134413

Location: Guzman, Castilla y Leon, Spain, Europe

Accommodations:  Palace, 5 Bedrooms + Detached Unit, 6 Baths (Sleeps 12-15)

Innkeepers Anna Gallagher, an Irish American from Philadelphia, and Juan Luis Guillen, a Spaniard, born and raised in the Alicante region of Spain, first met in Central America, where she was a human rights attorney and he a freelance journalist. After spending some years in Washington, D.C. and then Bilbao, Spain, they decided to settle in the wine region of Ribera de Duero, in the heart of the province of Castilla-Leon.

Shortly after settling, they discovered the Palacio de Guzman and made preparations to open this jewel to the public. The palacio, built during the 17th century and recently restored by the local government, combines the rustic with the modern, stone walls dating back several centuries alongside vibrant colors and modern conveniences. The Palacio de Guzman has conserved its original structure and contains a suite with 18-foot ceilings, two suites in the north and south towers, two spacious family rooms, and a wine cellar with a capacity to accommodate 50 persons for meals, meetings or wine tasting events.

The town of Guzman is located halfway between Madrid and Bilbao, in the center of the pentagon formed by Segovia, Valladolid, Palencia, Burgos and Soria. Within a 25 mile radius of the palace, guests can see some of the finest wineries in Spain, visit local Romanic and baroque monasteries, churches and ruins, walk through vineyards, sample mouth watering suckling lamb and other local gastronomic delights, play golf and generally enjoy country-living.

Juan Luis' sister, Rosa, runs the kitchen and the daily operations at the Palacio. Rosa speaks perfect English, French and Spanish and will be your host during your stay.
