hospitality within history
The House
For generations, Casa Góngora grew alongside the family and the winery. Here, people studied, worked, entertained guests, cooked, and watched the rhythm of the wine press from the balconies. After-dinner conversations lingered by the fireplace over a glass of aged Oloroso, while, just a few meters away, the wine continued its journey.
These rooms were home to Rafael de Góngora y Dávila, Ángeles de Góngora e Iriarte; José Gallego Góngora and Caridad Díaz de Urmeneta; their daughters, known at home as “the girls”; José María Gallego-Góngora Díaz; and Aunt Lola, whose spirit still lingers in family memories. Each left behind a way of being, a custom, a little story.
And the spaces themselves changed along with them: there was an archive where people now sleep, a laboratory for studying wines, a private chapel, a small classroom, and a laundry room whose pulley still hangs by the window.
This is how the house took shape: between domestic life and the life of the winery, between what we know happened and what time has turned into legend.
Today, for the first time, its doors open to travelers. Casa Góngora, a member of Relais & Châteaux, invites you to spend a few days in a place that hasn’t been recreated to look lived-in—it has been lived in for centuries.
