This is an historic farmhouse dating from the end of the 19th century, set in the rolling hills of the Sierra de Aracena just east of the charming town of Aracena.  These days, it has been most tastefully restored - keeping the original structure and the décor shows an intriguing mix of traditional country style furniture and modern facilities.  An ideal stop to discover the rural charms of this region - don't miss charming nearby Zufre, and visit the castles along the road to Portugal.

A very wealthy person, legend says she was the illegitimate daughter of King Alfonso XII, built this as a residence on a large estate.  However, she died without heirs, and left the house to a family originally from the region that owned, and lived in it, until the 1950's.  Later, the estate and the house were sold separately, and as the later fell into disuse the village used two rooms as a small chapel.  Subsequently, a local person from Aracena realized it had potential as a hotel and proceeded to keep the original structure whilst modifying the interior.  He also added a small garden and a pool.
