The Hotel Cresol is a small, historic hotel in the rural village of Calaceite, in Aragon, Spain. The magical village Calaceite (“House of Oil”) can be found in the region of Matarraña, between Barcelona and Zaragoza. The province is called Teruel. As the name of the village implies, the region around the Hotel Cresol has traditionally depended on olive growing.
The Hotel Cresol
The Hotel Cresol in Aragon is housed in an old oil mill from the 18th century. In the year 2000, the mill was completely restored and turned into a very charming, small hotel. This historic hotel offers the possibility of combining a vacation in Aragon with the traditions and landscape of the region. And yet those who imagine a rustic interior with patterned wallpaper, country house furniture, and monochrome photographs from the “good old times” are mistaken. The Hotel Cresol surprises in the modern decoration of its rooms, in the original design, and in the contemporary art adorning the walls.
The rooms
Five guest rooms – each in a different, imaginative design – can be had in the Hotel Cresol. Each of these carries the name of some step in the production process of olive oil. Three of the rooms are generous suites. Add to this two spacious double rooms in the attic storey of this design hotel. The interiors are romantic, comfortable, and above all full of ideas: in one of the attic storey rooms (Picual), a Roman column rises to the ceiling, while its large window opens to a spectacular view of the Beceite mountain range. The other (Hojiblanca) has its own terrace with the same fantastic view. The suites of this romantic hotel each have an integrated living area and, of course, the same wonderful view over the mountains. One of these (Arbequino) is decorated with Chinese motifs, another (Empeltre) in colonial style, while the third (Molino) has its own fireplace.
Communal areas
Some of the impressive relics from the mill trade have been preserved during the restoration of the building and are integrated into the rooms of the Hotel Cresol. In the trendy main guest room of this historic hotel one can wonder at a large threshing board. The huge millstone sits in the basement. Here, you’ll also find the bodega of this romantic hotel in Aragon. You can enjoy a glass of fine wine or even play a round of billiards in the wonderful ambiance. Those who prefer to cuddle up with an exciting book in front of the fireplace will enjoy the benefits of the cozy library in the Hotel Cresol.
