La Casa Grande

Fodor's 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. Catalan owners Elena Posa and Ferran Grau have restored each room. The artwork, the casually elegant design of the living quarters, and inventive bathrooms are all a delight. The breakfast terrace allows you to look down on falcons circling hundreds of feet above the riverbed below. The rooftop rooms, in El Palomar (The Pigeon Roost) and El Soberao (The Attic), are the best. Pros: Attentive owners, impeccable aesthetics. Cons: Inconvenient parking and, as a result, some baggage hauling; long climb to the top floor.
