Palacio de la Rambla

HUBD1, Ubeda and Baeza, Andalucia

Rennaissance hotel in historic Ubeda

Owned by the Marquesa de la Rambla and thought to have been designed by the great Andr?s de Vandelvira, the architect responsible for some of the finest buildings in the town, this perfectly kept, genuine renaissance palace is the perfect base from which to enjoy the period charms of Ubeda.

A monument in itself, beautifully furnished with genuine antiques and full of genuine artworks, the hotel is set around a central patio in true Andalucian style with a nice shady garden to the rear and a very spacious lounge for guests to enjoy. And as there are only six rooms the privileged few who do stay here enjoy a luxury of space, peace and tranquillity.

Ubeda and nearby Baeza are a side of Andalucia not often seen and offer a treasure chest of Spanish Renaissance architecture.
