Spend some time in the lobby and lounge areas just by reception. Relaxing on a comfortable couch, you can admire the huge oil paintings by Manuel Leal, matched in grandeur by the antique furnishings and the magnificent beamed ceiling.

This is a great place to have a cocktail before dinner, or as a meeting point before a walk around town. The friendly staff will be on hand to bring drinks or menus when required.

To reach the guest rooms, you'll need to climb the ornate staircase (an elevator is planned for the future). On your way, listen for the ringing of bells from the three nearby churches and you'll know you're in the heart of the town.
