La Fonda Barranco

Jerez de la Frontera


Dating back to at least 1865, this peaceful family-owned former merchant's house blends historical Moorish-inspired character with contemporary touches. You arrive into a cool patio (a glass of sherry is rustled up!), off which twisting staircases lead to a roof terrace and 10 charming, pristinely kept rooms with open-stone walls, wooden beams, carved doors, brick arches, pastel tones and decorative ceramic bowls.
