Perched on the rim of its unforgettable gorge this hotel oozes with provincial Spanish charm;
you might spot a nod to its Velasques heritage – ask about its links to the famous painter.
Days exploring fascinating Cuenca are a must; the famous casa colgadas (hanging houses) make a dreamy backdrop to wandering the shops, monuments and restaurants throughout this medieval city. Take a trip back in time at the nearby museum packed with Moorish artefacts and sculptures. Uniquely placed in a stunning natural landscape; adventurists will be happy rock climbing, caving and hiking the incredible gorge and surrounding countryside.
Nibble traditional tapas and sup sangria to kick off your evening (thank you very much) – the restaurant menu offers a journey through traditional Spanish cooking. Dine on the little terrace perched right on the cliff face, the coveted end table boasts the perfect view to accompany breakfast and dinner.
This hotel seems lost in time. It is quiet, charming, rather monastic in its ambiance, yet the busting town of Cuenca is just outside. The owners are delightful. I loved it!
