The wooden shutters, elegant arches and sunny pastel yellow of this attractive property create a classic Spanish colonial look that continues into the rooms, which have rough-hewn stone floors, atmospheric lantern lighting and antique wooden furniture. In outlook, though, the hotel is thoroughly modern, with solar panels helping it run sustainably. The superb breakfasts, enjoyed in the serene courtyard, use fresh produce from local farms and artisan producers.
