Location
About the surrounding area of Torre CaballeMatarranya is a small corner of the country known as the ‘Spanish Tuscany’. Although you are on the edge of the dramatic Els Ports Natural Park with incredible hiking trails, it’s only just over an hour to the coast so there is that wonderful Mediterranean climate. Here the three kingdoms of Catalonia, Valencia and Aragon meet. The countryside is a patchwork of almond and olive groves interspersed with beautiful meadows of wild flowers.
It’s a part of Spain that has only recently been discovered by the Spanish themselves who come to see a part of the country where the traditional Spanish values remain. Here the locals work the land for a living and the villages preserve their medieval past
As well as the beautiful landscapes, which Picasso captured in his youth, there is also some of the best wildlife in the country. Ibex with huge horns come down to the almond grove and right onto the front lawn in the summer evenings, and the vulture-feeding centre nearby has been rated as one of the top 5 wildlife attractions in Europe.

Great wedding venue
The perfect setting for a wedding.We recently attended a wedding here it was held in an olive grove overlooking the mountains and the sun shone. The facilities are excellent including the Rock Room, built around a rock, for that late night dancing.

Magical Place
Spent a week at the Masa as part of a group of 20 (10 adults and 10 children). It's a wonderful place: fantastic accommodation, great food and an unbelievable setting.
Luiz, Jenny and Rodriguez looked after us so well and were so accommodating. The places to go to they suggested were perfect and the restaurants that they booked for us were just right. Jenny's meals were like being in a top restaurant every night and she looked after the kids really well with a different menu for them. The breakfast choice was great as well.
We just did not want to leave after our week there and are already planning how we can go back again. -
The perfect getaway
We live in Madrid and were recommended Torre Caballe from our friends and were very thankful. It's a 4 hour drive from Madrid through Zaragoza and totally isolated. When you pass Fuentespalda on the highway look closely for the small sign and then proceed down a fun 5km road until arriving to the house.
The scenery is stunning, set near the top of a hill overlooking a valley and in the midst of an almond tree grove. Immediately upon arrival you are met by Luis, a friendly Peruvian man who will be your host throughout your stay.
We ate all breakfasts and dinners at the hotel, and the Jenny's cooking is fantastic. After a couple of days you feel at home, wine/whisky is served on the honour system and the selection is excellent!
Finally, the rooms are top-notch, the beds very comfortable, and the decorations incredible throughout the whole house. Because it's so quiet and comfortable, I have NEVER slept so well.
I love hiking, and there's lots of exploring to do in the hills around Torre Caballe. Ask Luis how to get to the lookout over the lake (about an hour roundtrip, but worth the trip!) -
Stunning scenery and blissfully peaceful
We only stayed here for a weekend, but when we returned to Madrid I honestly felt like I'd been away for several weeks. Jenny and Luis looked after us so well, providing endless delicious meals. The Torre itself is in a magical spot with incredible views and the owner has thought of everything when providing facilities for his guests - I only wish we had gone in the summer and we could have lounged in the pool all day! I would definitely recommend this magical hotel for sheer escapism, beauty and relaxation - we were lucky enough to catch the Valentines Day cello concert too which was a real treat.

Fantastic!
Wonderful two nights spent here in August. We wished we had stayed far longer. Jenny and Luis are gracious hosts and the hotel was spotless, in a spectacular location and we can not wait to return. It is an interesting access road but our rental, a Toyota Yaris, made it without any problems. Remote but with excellent wireless Internet access, this is a place for relaxing but you can stay in touch with the world if you wish to. Go, you will not regret it.
