Monasterio San Zoilo

Carrion de los Condes, Spain

This atmospheric Benedictine monastery has been artfully transformed into a unique 45-room hotel. It was founded in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 16th century with the addition of a beautiful Gothic cloister. The property is still church-owned and has a functioning church within it as well as an insightful museum that has free private access for guests. There is a lovely courtyard with a fountain, two restaurants, and an excellent staff.
