A sense of the place

Terra Dominicata — room — A bedroom at Terra Dominicata: a bed with white linen, a blue woven throw and charcoal cushions against a dark upholstered headboard, black articulated wall lamps, a white-beamed sloping ceiling, and a window with white wooden shutters open onto a cypress, with a vase of white flowers on the sill; nobody in frame — Eric d'Herouville / Terra Dominicata

Terra Dominicata — spa — The outdoor wooden hot tub of Terra Dominicata among olive trees: two teak loungers with striped blue towels and a picnic basket on a low table on a white gravel terrace, a white towel hanging by the tub's steps, a wooden screen at the left and pine-covered slopes behind in evening light; nobody in frame — © Terra Dominicata

Why it's in the collection

Because the monks' taste in locations was unimpeachable — the foothills of the Montsant with the Priorat's vines below — and because today's guests reap the benefits with a pool, a restaurant and the estate's wine.

At Escaladei, in the Priorat, in the foothills of the Montsant natural park, two hours west of Barcelona in the mountains outside Tarragona; an independent house.
A monastery and farm — grapes, olives and other fruit — thoroughly updated into a hotel and winery; the estate's own wine, as the name implies, in plentiful supply.
Rooms and suites in the old monastery, beams, hardwood and the occasional original stone wall, already large, with rain showers and espresso machines, the suites adding freestanding tubs; the outdoor pool over the valley; the restaurant, inventive at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Three MICHELIN Keys in the 2025 selection; holds five-star standing.
