Facilities and Capacity

This 13-acre hillside overlooks the nearby Medina River Valley, adding a touch of beauty to your nuptial celebrations. Inspired by the allure of the French countryside, the hotel aims to create a peaceful and slowed-down atmosphere so guests can take the time to indulge in the simpler pleasures of life during their stay. Couples may hold their ceremony in the open air of the arbor, followed by an outdoor reception by the courtyard. Alternatively, the Grand Ballroom provides an upscale interior for couples and their loved ones to toast to a happy future. However you decide to mark the occasion, the venue can comfortably accommodate up to 150 guests for your special occasion. The Barrel Room restaurant offers a twist on Southern comfort food and can be tailored to suit your occasion. Follow up the food with an artisanal cocktail, a glass of curated wine, or craft beer from the Barrel Room Bar.

Perfect venue!

After going to tour this venue out in Castroville, I knew this was where I had to have my wedding at. It is such a beautiful venue both inside and out. If you are searching for a venue with scenery, this is definitely the place you are looking for. Not only is it a wedding ceremony/ reception area, but also a boutique hotel. This is super convenient for couples who host a wedding that has a lot of out-of-town guests. Or even local guests who just want the convenience of the on-sight venue for the wedding. They also have an amazing restaurant on-sight as well that caters for weddings. That was included in the pricing for the reception as well! Raquel was such an amazing special events coordinator. We cannot thank her enough for all of her help and support for both leading up to our wedding day as well as on our wedding day!

We could not have asked for more! Mr Guillermo Spinelli worked with us from day one, offering the assurance that our day would be perfect and it was! The staff was so incredibly helpful and the food was exceptional- highly recommend the schnitzel! We went with the vendors Mr Guillermo recommended and were so grateful we did. The hotel staff was wonderful. We had several rooms booked and everyone was pleased with the service provided.
We highly recommend the venue looking for a beautiful and unique site that is beyond reasonably priced for the exceptional service you'll receive.

This is a BEAUTIFUL venue. Very inviting and comfortable. We had our parents' 50th wedding anniversary there and our family was very pleased with the delicious meal and the beautiful view. We got some precious family photos. I highly recommend this venue.

Do it! Everyone raved over the food, the location and the service. The only issue would be the hotel itself needs a little upkeep.

Guierrmo was great in helping us plan and do some last minute adjustments. He really catered to our needs. This place was really a hidden gem for the price. There were a few moments where we had to grab some of the servers for assistance but I would definitely recommend this venue for any celebration reason. The food was absolutely great! We had an appetizer buffet and it was the best.
