Description

Located a few kilometres from the historic, world heritage town of Caceres, this property has roots that go back to the 15th century, though the building itself is mainly 18th century in origin. Whatever the date and transformations that have taken place over the years, there can be no denying that this is an interesting location. Firstly, it is situated in the main square of Garrovillas, a small town that seems not to have changed over the last century. Secondly, the exterior, with its high stonewalls, fine natural surroundings and attractive masonry contrasts sharply with the interior decoration, which very contemporary. Hence those 18th century walls and arches go hand in hand with modern day and, some might say, minimalist furniture, including the vanguard paintings on those olds stone walls. The bedrooms carry on this up to date vain and have contemporary, simple lines. Colours are warm, rooms ample and comfortable. One of the high points of staying here, however, is the location in the middle of the arid but powerful landscape of the Spanish Extremadura. It is also within easy reach of fascinating historic cities.
