A modern work of art in its own right, Hotel Viura is a beacon of architectural modernity juxtaposed against the traditional buildings of Villabuena de Alava village in the renowned Rioja Alavesa wine region. With amazing views of the Sierra de Cantabria mountains, the hotel has a gourmet restaurant with a comprehensive wine cellar, a bar and gymnasium. Reflecting the new wave of modern architecture in Rioja s well-known bodegas, externally the hotel resembles a series of cubes precariously balanced on top of one another. Inside, expansive French windows flood the rooms with light and provide relaxing country views. Discover the ancient vineyard of Marques de Riscal with its flamboyantly adventurous buildings and the Ysios wine cellars, both within a ten-minute drive. Return for tapas on the rooftop terrace, overlooking the medieval church. Then, enjoy dinner in the restaurant accompanied by some of the region s best vintages.
