A 12th-century Cistercian monastery, one of Europe's best-preserved, now runs as a luxury wellness resort in the Castilian countryside. The monks are gone but the medieval archways, stone cloisters, and a winery producing the house red for nearly nine centuries remain. Rooms sit where the monks once did, thermal pools draw from a nearby mineral spring, and the kitchen garden supplies the restaurant. The Michelin Guide has it in its selected hotels.

The Toro wine designation sits just upriver from Portugal's Douro Valley, and this sleek winery hotel makes the most of that geography. Thirty-five contemporary rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, and a hydrotherapy spa fill the modern structure, with the wine list doing at least as much heavy lifting as the spa menu. It's resort-level comfort in a part of Spain most visitors fly straight over on their way somewhere else.
