Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Santa María de Alquézar

Just outside the old town walls, this hotel has the best views around—overlooking the Río Vero canyon and the Colegiata de Santa María. Rooms are simple but agreeably decorated in rustic reds and yellows, and the open-plan lounge and breakfast room are warm and relaxing with wood furnishings, sofas, and an open fire. The breakfast buffet brims with all manner of pastries, homemade butter and preserves, local cheeses, and cold meats. Even the olive oil is pressed from homegrown olives.
