Lavida Vino-Spa Hotel


The Hotel

From Aldeayuso one can see the Peñafiel rise crowned by its XIVth century castle and perforated by the centuries old cellars of Ribera del Duero. In the air one can breathe the wine culture. LAVIDA is a space consecrated to Feng-Shui culture, in which wine with capital letters and Slow movement is praised. Forget your hurries as a newcomer. You will be helped to do so with activities such as wine tasting in a wonderful room which exhibits a divine recap of the best of the Ribera. Behind us the original machinery of the house greets us, a gigantic press, with its winery and its history since 1768. It is worth knowing its mechanism to value our glass of red wine, more. The building is sober and functional, on two floors, around a patio open onto the Castilian sun. The rooms are full of light and like the rest of the building, are conceived, designed and decorated following the parameters of Feng-Shui. An artistic and scientific outlook but above all human, so as to create a harmonious ambiance.


Accessibility

The whole building is accessible to wheel chairs and to clients with reduced vision. The hotel has a room with an adapted bathroom. Signage in Braille around the room and bathroom, do not disturb banners to hang off the door knob in Braille.
