Ten minutes north in the Pyrenean village of Calbinyà, this enchanting 15th-century farmhouse and inn exudes rustic charm with its stone-walled rooms and traditional wooden furnishings. It also provides inexpensive local gastronomy against a backdrop of panoramic views. The friendly owners often accompany guests into the woods to help identify mushrooms and berries and—if you request—will delightedly show you how to make jams, conserves, and cured meats in an informal lesson.

Casa Irene exudes old-fashioned coziness with wood-beamed ceilings and plush armchairs, plus modern amenities. There's a restaurant offering French-inflected Pyrenean cuisine and a spa (sauna, indoor swimming pool, treatments) that is a welcome respite after a day's mountain activities. 

A highland inn with comfortable modern rooms and spectacular mountain views, this perch is an excellent base for hiking, horseback riding, and viewing Pyrenean flora and fauna. Guest rooms have beamed ceilings, bucket chairs, and fireplaces. The restaurant, popular in its own right, has panoramic views over the valley and specializes in meat cooked over coals. 

In a village on the outskirts of Jaca, this adults-only B&B is worth sacrificing city-center conveniences. The property was carefully constructed to resemble a traditional Aragonese country house and has charming rooms with wood-beam ceilings and rustic stone walls that look out over the mountains. The sauna (with hot tub) and massages can be reserved privately, and there is an honor system refreshment bar. The owners provide top-notch sightseeing and restaurant recommendations, as well as above-and-beyond hospitality. 

Situated on a remote and wonderfully scenic stretch of the Eje Pirenaico (Pyrenean Axis Highway), midway between medieval Aínsa and the Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido, is this tasteful mountaintop bed-and-breakfast with verdant valley views, stone-wall rooms, and standout down-home cuisine. The British owner knows the surrounding trails through pine and oak forests like the back of his hand, and you can explore many of them without leaving the property, which spans more than 200 acres.

Hotel Sauce might be the perfect budget hotel—it has quirky wall art, mid-century modern furniture, bright and uncluttered rooms, and a location that can't be beat.

Floor-to-ceiling windows in the intimate dining room, where they serve a plentiful homemade breakfast and a set dinner menu (with an outstanding hyperlocal wine list to boot), provide some of the most impressive of the vistas. Other amenities include the downstairs bar highlighting local spirits, an outdoor pool, and Ritual brand toiletries.

Guest rooms in this carefully restored Art Nouveau house, now an eco-friendly B&B, have splendid views, crisp bedding, and knickknacks galore.

This modern hotel has quiet, minimalist rooms and a busy downstairs bar where guests and locals mingle. The glass-enclosed lobby sits beneath the undulating white walls of the upper floors, meant to evoke the surrounding mountains. For peaceful repose, there's a well-kept garden and a terrace by the pool.

Rustic terra-cotta tiles, arresting mountain views, and stone rooms warmed by fireplaces lure tranquility-loving travelers to this unfussy inn in the town center. The bright apartments have wooden beams overhead, comfortable bedding, and kitchenettes.

This pleasantly kitschy inn with bright painted walls is a typical mountain chalet with flower-draped balconies and a plethora of memorabilia on display. The restaurant, Restaurante Gaby, is known for its satisfying Aragonese mountain cuisine and in particular the pheasant and wild boar civets. Call ahead for reservations: the owner often opens for anyone who reserves in advance, even if the place is theoretically closed.

A favorite among Camino pilgrims, this hotel in a restored 18th-century building adjoining the Colegiata and the partner property, Hotel Roncesvalles, provides warm, low-lighted, stone-walled common areas and modern, comfortable rooms. Dining—think cod-stuffed piquillo peppers and assorted roast meats—is offered in the hotel and at Casa Sabina, the cozy, cheerful hostel run by the same proprietor just steps away. 

This stylish, refurbished 15th-century castle is a breath of fresh air in Huesca's relatively stale hotel scene. Just 10 minutes outside of town, the property sits on the foundation of what was once a Moorish fortress in the 9th century. It was later turned into a church and passed down into the current owner's family, who used it for farming. The place has a delightfully cozy, castle feel with homey common spaces and an airy garden pool open in the summer. 

Overlooking the lovely Plaza Justicia and the baroque Santa Isabel church, this early-20th-century Art Nouveau building is a tourist sight in its own right, featuring an original Moderniste wooden elevator and a facade with wrought-iron decorations. These charming features are complemented by polished, contemporary interior decoration and a restaurant serving traditional Aragonese dishes. Rooms are functional, with all the necessary modern amenities, but they lack the charm of the rest of the building. The hotel's central yet peaceful location makes it an ideal base to stroll to the sights without feeling overwhelmed by the crowds.

Just 5 km (3 miles) down the road in Alás, this family-run hideaway is a quiet countryside respite. Every room and apartment has a private terrace with views of the valley or mountains, and there is a full-service dining room on-site so you won't have to use the car to grab dinner. The hotel's heat and air-conditioning is also proudly powered by a geothermal energy system. 

Overlooking the Trull River in the upper part of the village, this little stone hotel and restaurant has panoramic views over Alta Garrotxa. The restaurant serves two set menus of traditional specialties. Weather permitting, request a table on the terrace.

This old grande dame hotel's central location and budget rates makes it a good base for exploring Jaca. The streamlined, comfortable rooms have green walls and wood furniture within a mid-20th-century structure of wood, stone, and glass. The complex includes a garden, swimming pool, and a separate dining wing.

Constructed and furnished in stone and wood, this mountain retreat is an ideal base camp for hiking and cross-country skiing. Rooms are simple, and the restaurant serves classical Pyrenean fare in a dining room flooded with natural light.

A short walk from the cogwheel train and in the center of the village, this hostal (not to be confused with a backpacker's hostel) has simple, cheerful rooms with red-tile floors; those with (small) terraces afford spectacular valley views. The restaurant serves traditional Catalan breakfasts and dinners.

The only four-star hotel in the area, the Aneto is handy to central Benasque and just a few minutes by car to mountain trails and skiing. It's also the most favorable for families, who appreciate the gardens and indoor pool. The design integrates the look of a classic mountain chalet with modern interior features, which may not be to everyone's taste. Its light and airy café-bar looks out over the mountains, and there are two restaurants, one serving traditional dishes, the other with fusion cuisine.

This elegant Moderniste building has rooms over the bustling Plaça Dr. Robert on one side and over the river on the other. Some have terraces looking down at the graceful span of Camprodon's emblematic Pont Nou, with mallards splashing alongside brightly speckled (and legally protected) native Pyrenean trout. All rooms are furnished with old-fashioned simplicity.

For an eco-friendly (solar-powered) base for exploring the upper Hecho Valley or the Oza Forest, look no further than this adorable Pyrenean inn situated 7 km (4 miles) north of Hecho. There's a microbrewery on-site, and staff will happily arrange bike rentals, trout-fishing permits, and mountain guides. Rooms are simple and airy and decorated with colorful fabrics and quilts.

A comfortable old favorite near Puigcerdà's emblematic lake, this spa hotel with old-fashioned decor consists of several salmon-pink spire-topped mansions arranged around a grassy central garden. It's situated two minutes from the bell tower and town market on foot, though it feels deceptively bucolic and removed from the action. 

In the old quarter, this family-run inn is unabashedly kitsch with tinsel, twinkly lights, and tchotchkes everywhere you look. Extras include freshly baked cakes, hot chocolate, and mulled wine in the evening, and the hotel does an elaborate breakfast service. Though small, guest rooms are immaculately clean and individually decorated in pastels and gingham, with painted wood furniture. 

An inn for pilgrims since the 18th century, the Loizu is now a country-style hotel that makes an excellent base for exploring the Selva de Irati. The attentive service, along with a decent restaurant that caters to vegetarians, makes it a popular choice. The rooms are light and airy, and some feature slanted wooden ceilings and exposed stone brickwork. 

This six-bedroom hotel on the Plaza Mayor has exposed stone walls and simple (if dated) modern furnishings; some add whirlpools and wrought-iron balconies. The breakfast area in the cellar is a bit cramped, but the more spacious library-lounge area on the ground floor makes up for it.
