That's true... a bit over the top most of them... I'm happy to see a Spanish one, though, El Transcantábrico, operated by FEVE, kind of the one metre gauge sister of RENFE. Not that I've ever been on that train, but I can tell you that landscapes around its route are gorgeus! And local food is, too.
Actually, that was in the news a few weeks ago in Spain, you bet we were pretty happy. There was another one of those luxury trains, around Andalucia, the Al-Andalus Expreso, but I'm not sure that one is still around.
Check the link:

Kind regards,
