On the site of a foundry that forged swords for Spanish knights, today this 19th-century building houses a hotel full of history. The restored tapestries, woodwork and beamed ceilings give it endless character, while a modern renovation has created very comfortable rooms. It’s also close to all the major attractions.

This is another Toledo hotel famous for its excellent restaurant, and its stunning terrace is one of the best places in town to try suckling pig, a famous local dish. The renovated, incredibly comfortable hotel is set in a former flour factory and still retains some curious original features. This is the perfect base for exploring Toledo, as it’s set right in the heart of the Old Town.

5. El Refugio de Cristal

If you need to relax and get away from it all, there’s no better place than this country house in the middle of a nature reserve close to Toledo. This sustainable hotel has airy, contemporary rooms, and its terraces and glass walls offer great views of the surrounding countryside, giving a constant reminder of your proximity to nature alongside all the home comforts. There’s plenty of outdoor space to enjoy, including a pool for the warmer months. The food here is made using top-quality fresh produce, adding to the sense of wellbeing. It’s easy to reach Toledo from here and, as the name suggests, the hotel provides a real refuge from the hustle and bustle and a great place to come home to after a day of seeing the sights.
