Hotel Izán Puerta de Gredos

On the outskirts of El Barco de Ávila, tucked into the mountains by Sierra de Gredos. A short drive from Castillo de Valdecorneja and the Greater Church of the Assumption of Our Lady, this family-friendly hotel sits 2 km from the town centre and makes a great base for regional-park adventures.

Set within roughly 60,000 m² of gardens, the hotel pairs tranquil grounds with comfortable, modern rooms. There are 50 air-conditioned rooms with LCD TVs, safes and desks — many feature private hot tubs and jetted bathtubs, plus mini-bars and daily housekeeping.

Dive into the pool or catch sun at the solarium, rent a bicycle and explore the grounds, or unwind in the communal living room and library. The hotel also offers a terrace and garden views, wedding services, children’s playrooms, a tour desk, and free on-site parking — perfect for wake-up-to-mountain-air mornings.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet is available throughout the property. Additional conveniences include complimentary newspapers in the lobby, a 24-hour front desk and free self-parking.

A restaurant serves local and international dishes with regional flavours, plus a bar/lounge and a coffee shop for snacks and drinks. Full breakfasts are offered daily (8:30–10:00) for a fee, and 24-hour room service is available.
