Hotel Morenica del Rosario

Cuenca


Steep stairs at the rather singular Morenica del Rosario wind up around a series of sizable, well-furnished, occasionally dingy rooms, evoking images of some aging aristocrat's once-grand quarters, to a nice roof terrace. Common areas exude a certain Gothic sumptuousness, and it's a very quiet place. All rooms include safes and mini-fridges.
