Heredad Beragu is a secluded adult-only retreat set in the ancient village of Gallipienzo, Navarra – a mountaintop medieval hamlet with spectacular views of the Pyrenees. Housed in a lovingly restored group of stone farmhouses from the 18th century, this boutique hotel (just 9 rooms) perfectly balances historic charm with modern, eco-conscious design. Each room is unique, blending exposed stone walls and reclaimed wood with contemporary comforts, and large windows that frame panoramic vistas of mountains, vineyards and the winding Aragón River valley. Here, tranquility and harmony with nature reign supreme: Heredad Beragu was created as an “agro-chic” space that feels at once like a rustic farmhouse and a chic sustainable haven. Guests awaken to the sound of birdsong and enjoy sweeping sunrise views in an environment free from crowds and noise. This hotel’s origin is itself a story of sustainability and community revitalization. Founders Patxi and Ramón fell in love with Gallipienzo Antiguo and envisioned a place “integrated with its surroundings” that could help breathe new life into the nearly abandoned village. In renovating the crumbling casonas into Heredad Beragu, they recycled 90% of the materials from the original structures and achieved a certified “sustainable building” status. Thick stone walls were repointed and insulated, old beams and tiles were repurposed, and local craftsmen were engaged – preserving heritage while drastically reducing construction waste. The result is a building that retains its historic soul but performs with modern efficiency: the hotel uses biomass heating and solar energy for hot water, low-consumption lighting, and energy-saving appliances to minimize its footprint. Water is respected as a precious resource, and recycling is systematic. The property even has its own organic garden and chicken coop, supplying farm-fresh vegetables and eggs for the kitchen. True to its “gastronomic hotel” label, Heredad Beragu delights guests with authentic Navarre cuisine. Each morning begins with a homemade breakfast featuring local cheeses, rustic breads, and eggs gathered on-site. In the evenings, the hotel’s intimate dining room offers regional dishes prepared with seasonal ingredients – many sourced from nearby farms or the hotel’s organic garden. Guests savor specialties like Beragu Salad with lettuce and veggies grown just meters away, Navarra’s famed asparagus with local Roncal cheese, or steaks from free-range cattle of the surrounding hills. To accompany meals, Heredad Beragu proudly pours local Navarra wines and artisanal beers. This commitment to “kilometer zero” dining not only provides an authentic taste of the region but also supports local farmers and reduces food miles – a core value of the hotel’s sustainability ethos. In fact, Heredad Beragu has been recognized as a Reyno Gourmet ambassador, showcasing products from at least 7 Protected Designations of Origin and various organic producers of Navarra. Every plate is a celebration of local tradition and eco-friendly practice. Staying at Heredad Beragu is also about experiencing the land and community. The friendly hosts happily arrange activities like guided hikes through nearby trails, birdwatching from the hotel’s own small observatory (the area teems with raptors and other birds), and visits to local organic wineries. The hotel sits at the doorstep of historic and natural treasures – from the otherworldly Bardenas Reales Desert (a Biosphere Reserve) to the lush Pyrenees foothills – making it a perfect base for exploration. After a day out, guests often unwind on the terrace or by the fireplace, soaking in the profound silence and starlight that an off-the-beaten-path village provides. As an “adults-only” property, the atmosphere is particularly peaceful and romantic, ideal for couples seeking a soulful escape. Above all, Heredad Beragu’s mission is to demonstrate that heritage preservation, sustainable living, and rural luxury can go hand in hand. The hotel actively supports the local economy – employing villagers, collaborating with regional cultural projects, and drawing visitor attention to this lesser-known corner of Navarra. Guests depart not only refreshed by the comfort (plush beds, rain showers, and panoramic lounge views) but inspired by the project’s heart. In the words of its creators, Heredad Beragu strives to “promote the sustainability of the rural environment, without forgetting the enjoyment of our guests”. Indeed, the hotel’s respectful relationship with its environment and community is palpable in every detail. Heredad Beragu invites you to slow down, breathe the clean mountain air, and revel in “the town of dreams” that is Gallipienzo – an experience of authenticity, sustainability, and serenity that you won’t soon forget.
