Have you ever wondered how Eleanor of Aquitaine or Isabella of Castile lived? Or maybe you are a fan of King Arthur and Guinevere? Whatever the case may be, we've all thought about what life was like back in Medieval times. Fortunately, there are some remnants left in a condition good enough to even stay. This is the case of this castle/hotel in Sigüenza. It is part of the Spanish hotel chain Paradores, which refurbishes historic buildings and turns them into hotels. Last week I told you all about this town which is a hidden gem in central Spain, today I'm going to spill the details on where we stayed. 

Let's see how you can stay in a castle in Spain!

You can Stay in a Castle in Spain, Here's How

The facade and walls of this place are breathtaking. It almost seems impossible that this could be built with the few resources available at that time. The decor inside mixes Medieval elements with modern art work.

This little chapel left us speechless. Seeing it from the top we felt transported back in the day and expected to see Medieval aristocracy coming in any minute.

The hotel let's you come in and visit some areas like the courtyard, restaurant and cafeteria even if you are not a guest. So if you are just visiting for the day be sure to pop in and grab a bite.

Here I found my dream living-room. In this stately room you can sit on one of the sofas and read your book, play a board game or grab one of the art books laying around and you'll feel like home.

Since the weather outside was frightful (pun intended, it was during the Christmas holidays), we knew we were going to spend a lot of time in, but it wasn't a problem. On our first evening there, we visited every single corner of the castle discovering the most beautiful places. Then, we took refuge in the cozy bedroom and heard the wind and rain outside.

What do you think of the castle? What's the most peculiar place where you've stayed?
