El Pontifical

Description:

• El Pontifical Hotel and Restaurant stands in the village of Los Santos de la Humosa, just 45 km. from Madrid city center and 35 km. from Madrid international airport. The hotel and restaurant is housed in a 18th century historical building (it was once used as the barn for collecting the "Tercia", 1/3 part of the harvest collected by the peasants and paid as a tax to the Bishop.) The building has been meticulously restored, and great care has been taken to preserve its historical features and traditional elements, such as the beams throughout the building and the thick stone walls in the inside that make this place one of the most emblematic buildings in the village. It is surrounded by a magnificent landscape of rich and fertile land on the banks of the River Henares. The splendour of the oldest and mos extensive parts has been mantained, particularly the cellar where the wine used to be stored. The hotel has 5 rooms: three double, one double superior and one junior suite. All equipped with full bathroom, heating, air conditioning and splendid views. El Pontifical restaurant offers a wide range of dishes, combining the most traditional cuisine with innovative creations using top quality fresh ingredients. The Hotel offers many activities, such as walking, mountain biking or guided visits to the city of Alcalá de Henares.
