Hotel Description
A 17th centuary building, that in its day was the house of the Abbot of the Abbey of St. Miguel of Ampudia. With its stately porch entrance, it can be found embedded in the principle square, and is considered one of the most emblematic buildings of the town.
Originally established as the residence of the Abbot of the Abbey of St. Miguel of Ampudia, it was acquired by Don Diego Garcia de Tovar, Notary of Madrid and later of Ampudia. He was a brother of the Chantre of the Abbey, Don Francisco Garc�a de Tovar. At the end of the 18th centuary he bequeathed it to his family as part of his legacy, and it has since passed from generation to generation to its present owners, the Garc�a Puertas brothers whose father Don Jes�s Garc�a Simon has for many years impeded its deterioration by maintaining it to an acceptable standard of preservation.
It is a two storey building with its main entrance facing the principle square, and various patios leading to a secondary street.
Even though there have been various modifications to the building throughout its time, the materials used in its construction are typical of the region, stone in the socles and the gangway at the entrance, big adobe walls, wooden platforms and beams. The wrought iron balconies as well as a lot if the interior doors are the originals form the 17th centuary .
Due to a Protection Order listed in the Catalogo de Bienes Protegidos of the town of Ampudia the building has retained practically its entiry originality while being completely refurbished. The integration of an atmosphere of the old with the most modern and advanced technology expected of a present day 4 star hotel has been made possible by one of the four brothers, el arquitect �ngel Garc�a Puertas.
