Hospedería de los Templarios

The house

The Hospedería de los Templarios is a rural hotel on Plaza de España, the main square of Sepúlveda, within the historic centre of the town. The building was a parish house and barber's shop, and was refurbished to turn it into modern accommodation without losing the old: every room has works of art and antiques, and the furniture is restored period pieces. Some rooms look onto the square and others onto the riverbank. As well as the hotel, the same house rents two tourist apartments a few metres away, on calle Barbacana.

Hotel rooms

The website describes rooms each with its own personality, without giving a fixed number. All have heating, also in the bathroom, television, wifi, bath and shower, hairdryer and toiletries, and there is a pillow menu. Among the services it mentions a terrace, microwave, cot and board games.

Breakfast is included and is served in the hotel itself. The rates it publishes are per room per night: €78 in low season, €82 in high season and €94 in special season, with the price to be requested for stays of several nights.

The apartments

There are two, Barbacana 1 and Barbacana 2, at calle Barbacana, 6, a few metres from the main square. Each takes four to six people: two bedrooms, one with a 150 cm bed and the other with two 90 cm beds, two full bathrooms and a large living room with a sofa bed. The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, oven, large fridge, toaster, blender and coffee maker. They have fibre wifi, a 50-inch television, heating and a lift.

What it does not publish

The website does not give check-in and check-out times, parking or whether pets are admitted. Ask beforehand on 665 593 551 or at [email protected]. If you are going by car, bear in mind that the centre of Sepúlveda has narrow streets.

Who it is for and what is nearby

For sleeping in the centre and getting around on foot in the town of Sepúlveda. The apartments suit families or anyone who wants their own kitchen. The Park Centre and the start of the Two Rivers Path are a short walk away. For the path to the hermitage of San Frutos or the canoe trip you need a car.
