Castilla Termal Burgo de Osma

Built upon a splendid 16th‑century building, the former University of Santa Catalina retains its original Plateresque façade and Renaissance cloister. Located in El Burgo de Osma — a town in the southwest of Soria province declared an Asset of Cultural Interest for its Historic‑Artistic Site — this property is the first four‑star Hostería Real in Castile and León. The life of the building centres on the beautiful Renaissance courtyard, enclosed by a large glass dome, which serves as the hotel’s social meeting point where the bar and café services can be enjoyed.

The establishment is nestled in the heart of the Madrid‑Zaragoza‑Valladolid‑Burgos diamond. Features include 70 rooms, an events room with capacity for up to 540 people, a thermal area, gym, private parking, summer pool, and guest computers.

The spa is located beneath a large colonnaded courtyard, where the modern pool of mineral‑medicinal thermal water is bathed in pleasant overhead light streaming through the skylight that decorates the centre of the cloister. The pools and hydrotherapy treatments use water from the Santa Catalina spring, known for its significant sedative effect — recommended for anti‑stress treatments, rheumatic conditions, and weight‑loss therapies. The water also has cholesterol‑, uric acid‑, and sodium‑eliminating effects, highly beneficial for preventing and protecting against cardiovascular risk factors. Classified as polymetallic, calcium bicarbonated, hypothermal, and of medium mineralisation, the spa waters offer a truly therapeutic experience.

The thermal pool and San Baudelio contrast therapy circuit reinterprets the beautiful 11th‑century Mozarabic hermitage located in the village of Casillas de Berlanga, featuring a large column from which eight horseshoe arches emerge like the branches of a palm tree. Numerous relaxation and beauty treatments, world experiences, and massages are also available.

At Restaurant Argaela, local produce creates perfect flavour combinations. A varied café menu offers lighter dishes, and custom‑made menus for events and celebrations can be enjoyed in rooms with capacity for up to 540 people. Dishes are prepared with ingredients from the Soria area, beautifully paired with local wines — the vineyards and wine cellars of Ribera del Duero are just a short distance away. El Burgo de Osma is a historic and culinary town, famous for its vegetables, trout, crayfish, roast lamb, stew, barbecued vine shoots, and above all, mushrooms and bacon rashers. The succulent Castilian stew is also well known, as is the region’s regal game: hare, rabbit, quail, and partridge.
