Hotel Río Piedra

A manor house in Nuévalos above La Tranquera

The Río Piedra is a three-star family hotel, with that rating since 2019, on the road that climbs from Nuévalos to Monasterio de Piedra, about 2 km from the park and on the shores of the La Tranquera reservoir. Being in the village rather than inside the grounds has its practical side: you can walk down to see the reservoir in the afternoon, your car is parked at the door at no cost and the park is five minutes away by road. The family that runs it welcomes you in a lobby with souvenirs of the house.

Rustic rooms in the manor house, modern ones in the new wing

There are 30 rooms of two kinds. The rustic ones are in the old 18th-century manor house, with parquet floors and old-style showers. Those in the new wing are modern, decorated one by one, and some have a terrace with a view of the Centenary Garden; there are triples with a terrace. All have a full bathroom, television with satellite channels, telephone, safe, background music, free wifi, air conditioning and heating.

The website does not publish nightly prices or check-in and check-out times, and it does not say whether dogs are accepted: ask on 976 849 007 or at [email protected] before booking.

Pool, garden and a children's area

Outside there is an outdoor pool and a "chill out" garden, both seasonal, the Centenary Garden and a children's play area. Inside, a lounge with television and games. Parking is private, outdoors and free; electric vehicle chargers are being installed. The hotel holds weddings and communions in a hall for 400 people: if you want peace and quiet, ask whether there is a celebration on the day you are going.

The table and the cellar

The hotel restaurant serves traditional cooking with local produce and modern touches, with a menu that changes several times a year. There is an executive menu, a Río Piedra menu, a gourmet menu, a menu for two and informal dinners. You eat in the classic dining room, in the fireplace room (35 seats), on the glazed terrace (30) or, in good weather, on the outdoor terrace (70). The wines are kept in an underground cellar. The website does not publish kitchen hours: ask when you book your room.

Getaways with park entry

The hotel sells the "Express Getaway", for one or two days, with accommodation, breakfast, lunch, dinner and tickets to Monasterio de Piedra, and a weekend one with the gourmet menu. For groups of six or more it has its own offer. If you do not buy the package, entry to the Historic Garden Park costs €20 per adult in 2026.

Around

As well as the park, you have the walk by La Tranquera below the village and, about 15 km away, the spas of Jaraba and Alhama de Aragón, home to the Termas Pallarés thermal lake. Calatayud and its AVE station are about half an hour away by car.
