Casa de la Torre

Top choice in Castilla-La Mancha

LoginSave

In a 16th-century manor house in the centre, the Casa de la Torre makes a memorable base for delving into the world of Quijote. The handsomely designed rooms are set with antique furnishings, artwork, poems and original architectural details.

The rest of the house is practically a museum dedicated to the anachronistic cavalier, including a study where a quill-wielding 16th-century bard would feel right at home. Warm-hearted host Isabel Fernández has a wealth of knowledge, and can happily guide you to the best restaurants, craftmakers and wineries in the region.
