Glimpse the tiny courtyard of this 16th century house, lush with vegetation, and it's hard to imagine it was bought as a ruin 25 years ago. Gorgeous, romantic and the choice of King Juan Carlos when he's in town. Tim Pozzi, The Sunday Telegraph October 12 2012 Reservations tel:928 333466.
This early 16th century merchant palace stands on the site of the trading post of Las Tres Palmas. The original three trees have been replaced outside the house, which adjoins the Hermita de San Antonio Abad, also built by the Jewish merchant Montesdeoca, to afford his family sanctuary from the mob. The lintels of the doors that provided escape routes to the chapel remain. He lived on the first floor, and kept his servants and horses around the patio below.
