Fodor's Expert Review Villa Herencia Hotel

The same owners as Da House transport guests back to the 19th century in this exquisitely restored former mansion that retains time-worn bare walls and original floral tile floors and beamed ceilings. Individually styled guest rooms are on two levels: Those below are in the original house and open to a narrow Spanish-style courtyard with a fountain and a sour-orange tree; those above are in a modern rooftop extension. All are graced with a mix of original antiques such as armoires, and retro-themed contemporary furniture straight from the pages of Vogue. Many have canopied beds. Plasma TVs are a nod to modernity.
