The value of this castle-palace is expressed through a spectacular facade placed in an ideal setting, discovering the monumental surrounds and the natural landscapes of this area.

Nine battlement towers guard the regal, grandiose interior which conserves beautiful coffered ceilings, large chests, ironwork, handrails and several other decorative details which belonged to the former palace.

The bedrooms which in the past had Hernan Cortes as a guest, are elegant and spacious while the swimming pool and well cared for garden adorn the exterior.

Try the regional dishes the dining room has to offer such as: lamb stew, "migas extremenas" (fried breadcrumbs) and "solomillo iberico al queso de los Ibores" (sirloin with cheese).
