Hotel Pago De Cirsus

What an incredible hotel in an incredible location overlooking its own vineyards and the countryside beyond. Our room was large and comfortable with a lovely view. However, special mention must be given to the outstanding food and wine! The restaurant offers a tasting menu with 4, 6 or 8 courses and every course we tasted over our two night stay was exceptional. (The only thing I would say is, we chose the 8 courses on our first night and, for us, it was too many. We settled for four on the second night and did not leave feeling hungry!) A very special place, ideal for a special occasion. Although the team speak little English (apart from our waitress who was exceptional in every way) they really are patient and try very hard to help. If we had to be really picky, we found we had to go and ask for aperitifs when siting outside before dinner and it would have been nice to have been offered. And as others have mentioned, the shower (over the bath) felt a bit dated. But hey, it worked fine and these things certainly won't put us off returning! In fact, and here's the real measure, I literally can't wait to visit again! That food!!

I stayed here for 2 nights with my fiancé during a month long trip to Spain. Overall we really loved the hotel. The service, staff, food, and wine were great. Anyone staying there should definitely sign up for an experience that includes a wine tasting and tasting menu. If you do the tasting menu the 6 courses is more than enough food. We loved sitting out on the terrace drinking wine and watching the gorgeous sunset view they have. The only complaint we had was that they have a small fly problem on the terrace that made staying out there for too long kind of annoying. Obviously the property is a vineyard, in the country, and its very rural - but I am not sure if there is more the hotel could do about the flies. A further comment about the region itself and not the hotel per se - we had a really hard time booking into wineries in Navarra and Carinena. It seems that the wine tourism in this area is not nearly as built up as La Rioja (let alone Napa or Sonoma). Most of the wineries wouldn't respond to me or shut me down immediately as I am English speaking and was not with a "big group". As part of the objective of our trip was to visit wineries, this was disappointing. I tried to work with the hotel to help me coordinate, but they confirmed what I was already seeing, that its not the same wine tourism in that area just yet.
