The hotel

It constitutes one of the most emblematic buildings of the town of Ampudia for its history and its stately bearing. Originally it was the residence of the abbot of the collegiate of San Miguel, who was addressed Don Diego García de Tovar, a notary of Madrid and later of Ampudia and brother of the chantre of the collegiate, Don Francisco García de Tovar, at the end of the 18th century.

The materials used in its construction are the classics of the area: stone in the sockets and entrance portal, large walls of adobe and stone, forged compounds of beams, joists and wooden platform with lower plaster revocation and vaults of Rasile layers agreed with plaster.

The rejería and forge of the balconies, as well as many of the doors inside the house and portal, are original of the seventeenth century.

Due to its integral protection within the catalog of protected goods of the Villa de Ampudia, the building has been fully rehabilitated maintaining practically in its integrity all the unique distribution of the building, trying to combine the original atmosphere with a very careful interior design, made by one of The four owners of the hotel, the architect Ángel García Puertas, who makes contrasting and including a multitude of contemporary details without collision.
