La Casa Grande Review

Built in 1729, this extraordinary 18th-century mansion encircles a lushly vegetated central patio and is perched on the edge of the 400-foot cliff to which Arcos de la Frontera clings—inside, Catalan owner Elena Posa has restored each room, and the artwork, casually elegant design of the living quarters, and inventive bathrooms are all a delight. The breakfast terrace allows you to look down on hundreds of swallows circling over the riverbed below. The rooftop rooms El Palomar (the Pigeon Roost) and El Soberao (the Attic) are the best, but the rooms Cuarto Bajo and Cuarto y Mitad have large terraces.
