Situated at a crossroads valley in Cenicero, with the AP-68 exit just one kilometer away, is the youngest town in La Rioja – a title that we feel proud to be associated with, as it reflects our HUMANITARIAN VALUES. Our town boasts a rich wine tradition that can be explored through magnificent vineyard landscapes, 15th-century cellars, century-old wineries, and reputable modern wineries. To add to this experience, APARTAMENTOS RIOJAVALLEY offers you an unforgettable experience. A building from 1900 located in the center of Cenicero and refurbished looking for the resemblance with the primitive construction, hosts FOUR APARTMENTS AND A BODEGUITA. All are connected by the original staircase and a modern lift, making the BUILDING ACCESSIBLE. The STONE WALLS of more than 60cm, insulated by an excellent rehabilitation of local builders, an air renewal system, and the wooden windows and shutters made by craftsmen from La Rioja result in QUALITY APARTMENTS WITH A HIGH COMFORT.
RiojaValley’s commitment to the environment is demonstrated through the use of solar panels, LED lighting, water consumption regulators, separate rubbish bins for recycling, and various dispensers. This commitment has helped us achieve an impressive ENERGY RATING of A+++ and the prestigious SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL seal. Each flat refers to an IDENTITY SIGN OF CENICERO, the decoration revolves around each one of them, giving priority to the use of local crafts (pottery, carpentry, basketwork…) and creating comfortable environments where YOU WILL FEEL PEACE AND HARMONY.

TOURIST INFORMATION is first hand. WE ARE RIOJANOS, we know our land and the attractions it has to offer, and that is why we have created ROUTES with the singularities of each region that can be personalized according to your preferences.

DISFRUTARÁS CONOCIENDO LA RIOJA
This apartment is situated on the first floor and faces south. It comes with a private patio of 40 meters, which is adorned with garden furniture and native plants. You can enjoy sunbathing and relaxing on the patio while admiring the original construction elements like the door leading to the street or the benches made from the old hydraulic tiles of the houses. The interior decoration of the apartment is inspired by the surrounding landscape. The stepped terraces covered with vineyards that slope towards the river Ebro are the highlight of the area, and Cenicero is one of the towns that dedicates most of its municipality to vine cultivation.
