Set in the countryside outside Sigüenza, Molino de Alcuneza is a boutique family-run hotel built around a beautifully restored 15th-century flour mill. The Moreno family have brought new life to the old stone buildings, gardens and original milling machinery, creating a warm country retreat with Michelin-starred food at its heart. Days unfold between walks through the Castilian countryside, the outdoor pool and small spa, while Samuel Moreno’s cooking draws deeply on the grains, produce and culinary traditions of the region. It is a wonderfully grounded place to eat well, breathe out and settle into rural Spain.

BackWhat we love
Hotel Molino de Alcuneza
Waking up to fresh bread in a 500-year-old flour mill, feels exactly as it should. Chef Samuel Moreno works with nearby farmers recovering old varieties of grain, mills them in the restored mill and turns them into breads that arrive at the table as a feature of the meal. Before long, the simplest thing on the table begins to tell you almost everything about Molino de Alcuneza: a family taking something inherited from the past and finding a thoughtful, delicious way to keep it alive.

Heritage
The mill still turns
The Moreno family rescued the abandoned mill in the early 1990s, restoring its stone walls, timber structure and traditional clay floors before eventually bringing the historic milling machinery back into use. Today, grain passes through the mill once again, giving the building’s original purpose a place in everyday life.
Table
From grain to table
Samuel Moreno’s Michelin-starred cooking is rooted in the landscape around Sigüenza, drawing on vegetables from the garden alongside local game, wild mushrooms and produce from trusted farmers and artisans. Bread has a special place, with several varieties made each day from organic and heritage grains such as Negrillo and einkorn. The cooking is refined, but its flavours remain unmistakably Castilian, giving you a delicious sense of where you are.
Place
Guardians of the land
The hotel’s connection to the countryside reaches far beyond its own garden. Samuel and Blanca Moreno work closely with a network they call the Guardians of the Land: farmers and artisans preserving local grains, honey, salt, saffron, olive oil, cheese and other traditions of rural Castilla. Their stories find their way onto the table, giving you a sense of a landscape tended by people who care deeply about its future.
SLEEP
Rooms & Suites
The seventeen rooms carry the surrounding landscape indoors through stone, timber, linen and ceramics, with earthy colours inspired by wheat as it changes through the seasons. Some rooms sit within the original mill and others around the gardens and pool. The atmosphere is warm and unfussy, with countryside views and plenty of space to settle in.
