La Ventosilla

Gumiel de Mercado, Italy

The palace today has been converted for use as a rural hotel. The architecture is almost intact, including decorative feature

s such as mouldings and balcony railings. Of the many rooms on three floors, eighteen are open to the public, some still decorated in traditional Castilian style.
