HOTEL PUERTA DE LA LUNA Baeza
Ubeda - 7 Miles , Jaen - 32 Miles , Granada - 85 Miles , Cordoba - 90 Miles , Ciudad Real - 110 Miles
The former residence of a prominent 16th Century family , the unassuming façade of Hotel Puerta de La Luna can be found amid the peaceful alleyways of Baeza ’ s old town . Through ancient , fortified doors you disappear into elegant interiors where original features abound . An internal patio demonstrates this best , where age-old stone columns support exposed wooden beams and decorative cobbles fall underfoot . You can look down to this spot from the upper gallery , along which you gain access to some of the best rooms . Hotel Puerta de La Luna is undoubtedly deceiving in its size . An unexpected 44 guest rooms and suites can be found within , each individually decorated in a contemporary style that promotes light and airiness with a fresh palate , subtle lighting and terracotta floor tiles . Original features are retained where possible . Elsewhere , the popular La Pintada restaurant spills from a refined dining room out onto the outdoor patio area . Surrounded by the hotel ’ s three buildings , this walled enclosure features a small swimming pool and terrace overseen by the looming tower of the Cathedral de Baeza . Dine under orange and cypress trees for an authentic taste of celebrated local cuisine at an intimate table for two – either under the stars or beneath the protection of a shaded arcade lined with Romanesque columns . You can also enjoy light poolside lunches from the cafeteria here . The service is simple , the atmosphere is special and the address even more so , allowing for superb value for money at the heart of the historic centre of Baeza .
