Sofraga Palacio, WorldHotels Crafted  

In the heart of Ávila, a boutique 4-star hotel sits steps from the famed Romanic Wall and Ávila Cathedral. You're a stroll from Palacio de Los Verdugo and the Basilica de San Vicente — ideal for history-driven stays and family-friendly trips.

Housed in a restored 16th-century palacio, the property blends old-world charm with modern comforts. There are 27 unique rooms and suites with 43-inch Smart TVs (Chromecast), air-conditioning, Nespresso machines, safes and pillowtop beds dressed in Egyptian cotton and down comforters. Many rooms look out over the palacio, the Romanic Wall, or the cathedral; bathrooms feature rainfall showers and designer toiletries.

Enjoy a garden terrace and a cozy lobby fireplace, or sip a perfectly paired wine by the first-floor fireplace overlooking the palace grounds. Services include room service, cooked-to-order breakfasts, babysitting (surcharge), wedding services and on-site self parking (charges apply). Wake up to sweeping historic views.

A business center, complimentary wireless internet access and a 24-hour front desk keep work simple and service steady.

An on-site restaurant pairs traditional regional dishes with avant-garde flair using locally sourced ingredients. There's also a coffee shop/café, bar/lounge, cooked-to-order breakfasts (fee) and full room service; small plates and wine are served on the garden terrace or by the fireplace.
