Casa Rural del Bachiller

Castilla-La Mancha


An unexpected hideout. Enjoy a veritable Quijote experience staying in this aesthetically reformed historic house with its heady views of the windmills and original caves (the former main living spaces in the house). Rooms have a timeless classic feel and are restfully decorated to ensure a tranquil stay; guests are treated to complimentary wine from the region (which helps).
