Apartment Casa Palacio de los Leones

Rating by guests: There are no reviews for this hotel.

Dating back to the 17th century and restored in 1999 into 17 holiday apartments, the apart-hotel represents the most impressive example of Baroque architecture in the centre of El Puerto de Santa María. Locally the apart-hotel is known as the Casa de los Leones – the House of Lions – as these fine beasts decorate the pillars of the entrance of the apart-hotel. Although the entire façade stunningly decorative, the wavy balcony is exceptional, with its design of wrought iron serving to intensify the Baroque appeal of this unique building. There is also a statue of the Virgen de la Escalada – in her oratory flanked by 2 pillars. The virgin comes from the mountains and is crafted in gilded ceramic and dates from the 17th century. The main interior courtyard/patio and the galleries that surround it, has traditional wooden beams, balusters and wrought iron all of which has been fully-restored. Adjacent to the house lies the Plaza del Mercado –the Market Square – built in 1874 In addition to the facilities listed, the apartments have a fully-fitted bathroom.
