Hotel Cueva del Fraile
Staying in this old 16th-century convent, that later became a farmhouse and that is located in an exceptional setting on the outskirts of the monumental city of Cuenca, is an unforgettable experience.
Gastronomy of Cuenca
Piola Restaurant
The place formerly designated as a greenhouse is the setting in which the Hotel Convento del Giraldo offers a top-notch culinary experience. This is the Piola restaurant, located in a building adjacent to the hotel but accessed from inside the establishment. There, we can admire a huge Piola uncovered during the rehabilitation works, which with almost four meters deep and over thirty cubic meters of volume, was used to store water in the Middle Ages.
Cuisine of Cuenca
Locanda
Located in the former stables of the Palace, now the Hotel Leonor de Aquitania, in a space completely carved into the rock, you will find the Locanda restaurant, right in the historic centre of Cuenca and accessible from San Pedro street or Ronda de Julián Romero.
Locanda offers traditional Manchegan cuisine prepared with excellent fresh, seasonal products from the region, with careful and natural preparation, to which we add modernity and innovation. Its meat and game dishes, and an exquisite tasting menu, are particularly outstanding.
Gastronomy of Cuenca
El Colmado Restaurant
Our third gastronomic option for your stay in Cuenca. In the morning, we offer you an exquisite buffet breakfast with a wide variety of cold and hot dishes, juices, coffee, teas, and, of course, freshly baked pastries.
At noon and in the evening, the kitchen of our establishment, located in the Hotel Cueva del Fraile, offers you the opportunity to discover typical Castilian-Manchego cuisine: game meats, traditional stews (such as “ajo arriero,” “morteruelo” or “pisto manchego”) are the basis of our menu that will delight any palate. After satisfying your stomach, we invite you to taste the liquors from our land (resoli, aguardiente…).
