Torre del Visco Restaurant
Just 80 kilometres from the hectic Mediterranean, hidden behind the mountains, there is another World, Teruel: medieval villages, vineyards, eagles, genets and otters in the rivers. The Torre del Visco, dated 1449 is in a stunning situation overlooking the Tastavins river and surrounded by beautiful gardens. This place is excellent for those who long for silence and peace and it offers the ultimate in sybaritic country life, elegant yet relaxed, friendly, discreet and amusing.
It took Jemma Markham and Piers Dutton, your charming hosts, two years to restore the 15th-century estate house, but it was certainly worth the effort. The setting of this sumptuous hotel is superb, in the wild Tastavins Valley, several miles from the nearest road. Hotel Torre del Visco is located in the Teruel region, a few hours inland from Barcelona and the contrast with the busy costas could not be greater.
Attention to detail and comfort is fantastic, and the standards set by the owners a credit to the hotel business. Torre del Visco manages to combine the very best of Spanish luxury and fine dining with the relaxed atmosphere of a really good English country house hotel.
Torre del Visco own organic farm provides the restaurant with olive oil, fruit and vegetables, truffles and game. Using this produce from its own vegetable gardens the chef prepares the freshest of ingredients for use in his inventive menus, with special emphasis on promoting local dishes and wines.
Torre del Visco provides an ample breakfast. The hotel's kitchen is open to guests and has a huge, oval table literally groaning with home-made, local goodies to eat, and a lovely chef offering eggs and bacon to order. Dinners, served in the high-ceilinged old stable, are excellent. Torre del Visco offers group cooking classes for 6 to 12 people and wine tasting.
Hotel Torre del Visco is the very best in its class for those wanting peace, quiet and a few moments to reflect on what is really important in life. If you want to understand the remote and beautiful area of Aragon whilst indulging in understated luxury, then you must stay at this hotel.
