Exclusive Rental
Luxury Palace Rental in Spain's Rioja Wine Country
Forget hotel rooms. At Palacio de Manzanos, you don't book a suite -- you rent the entire 18th-century palace. Located in the historic centre of Haro, the capital of Rioja wine country, this meticulously restored 1733 nobleman's residence is the most exclusive private accommodation in northern Spain. Four luxury suites, a private spa with sauna and jacuzzi, a cinema room, a billiards table, a grand piano, and a fully equipped kitchen with climate-controlled wine cellar -- all exclusively yours. No other guests. No shared lobbies. No schedules. Just 350 m² of pure, private luxury.
This is the fundamental difference between Palacio de Manzanos and even the finest boutique hotels in the Rioja region. A luxury hotel sells you a room and access to shared amenities. We give you the keys to an entire palace. Your group -- whether a family celebration, a friends' getaway, or a corporate retreat -- enjoys complete privacy and the freedom to use every space as you wish, at any hour. It is the ultimate exclusive villa rental in Rioja, combining the intimacy of a private home with the grandeur of a historical monument. Discover our suites and wellness area.

Your Private Base in Spain's Wine Capital
Haro is the undisputed capital of Rioja wine, and the palace sits minutes on foot from the legendary Barrio de la Estacion -- the greatest concentration of century-old wineries in the world. Lopez de Heredia, Muga, CVNE, La Rioja Alta, Roda, and Bodegas Manzanos are all within walking distance. We arrange private tastings and cellar visits that are impossible to book as a regular tourist, as well as helicopter flights over vineyards, experiential harvest sessions, and gourmet dinners with private chefs at the palace itself. Explore all our curated experiences.
The location also makes Palacio de Manzanos the perfect launch point for exploring northern Spain. Bilbao and the Guggenheim are 80 minutes away. San Sebastian's Michelin-starred dining scene is under two hours. Logroño, the vibrant capital of La Rioja, is just 35 minutes. And Madrid connects in three and a half hours by car. Whether your trip centres on wine, gastronomy, culture, or simply unwinding in extraordinary surroundings, the palace puts everything within reach while offering a retreat that no hotel can match.
