La Casa del Rector

Castilla-La Mancha


A three-way marriage between modern rooms, ‘design’ rooms and traditional historical rooms, the Rector is, in a word, magnificent. It’s difficult to imagine what taste isn’t being catered for in its lush interior set around three courtyards with elegant fountains, retro antiques (sewing machines!) and a streamlined cafe.

Design rooms have wood-floor showers, coffee machines and electric window blinds. Modern rooms are a little more beige and mainstream. Traditional rooms retain many of the building's original features such as wood beams and heavy tiled floors. To top it all off, there’s an on-site spa.
