Las Casas del Consul (Jaen, España)

Las Casas del Consul is located in the city of Ubeda, in Andalusia, a city whose wealth of historical buildings and emblematic monuments guaranteed its status as a World Heritage Site. The house dates from the 17th century and its surrounded by courtyards and walls that are hundreds of years old, its architecture is typical of the Renaissance and the atmosphere is surprisingly quiet. The refurbishment was conceived to offer greater tranquillity to the guests, taking full advantage of the ample windows and high ceilings, of the tropical hardwoods and the walls of centuries-old stone. The central courtyard, with its columns, is the backbone of the house. Today all the hotel's comfortable rooms open out onto this patio. There is still another patio with a magnificent garden that envelops the swimming pool in diverse flowers and trees.
