Calle Marqués de Canales de Chozas 2 05001 Ávila (Castilla y León|Spain)
Alongside the citadel of Ávila, the old Place of Piedras Albas, constructed in the 16th century, is striking above all for the jewel it hides within its historic walls: exquisitely decorated interiors, the work of Pascua Ortega. The dour poise of granite and earth ware, Castilian furniture and hooked rugs combine perfectly with bold tones in the paintings and upholstery. The equipment in the spacious and flirtatious bedrooms and bathroom is more than complete. They have wisely opened the inn to the garden, an orchard that proudly boasts valuable archeological pieces including coffins, christening basin and a wild boar from a 9th-centry settlement.
