Posada Real La Carteria is a 5-star guest house in Puebla de Sanabria, housed in an 18th-century building in the historic-artistic centre.
The original architecture, with stone walls and century-old wooden beams, sits alongside contemporary furnishings and facilities. The rooms combine this rustic character with carefully chosen decor; options include double rooms, suites and a quadruple room, all with a private bathroom and distinctive features such as a balcony, river or mountain views, and a hot tub. Free WiFi is available throughout the property. Its restaurant serves local cuisine in a former medieval wine cellar, a distinctive space for sampling local flavours.
