Article source: Lucas y Hernández – Gil Arquitectos This small hotel is located in the Main Square of Ayllón, a medieval village in Segovia, Spain. We would define the intervention as simple and austere but warm and comfortable at the same time, a contemporary reconstruction in rustic style.  Image Courtesy © Lucas y Hernández – Gil Arquitectos

The space on itself provides calmness and peacefulness, with shades of color that gives freshness just like the poppies in the Castilian wheat fields. The route through the hotel is a great experience for the guests because it is intricate in the complex medieval architecture surrounding.

To achieve the unity of the two existing houses was necessary, and it has been accomplished through a courtyard that articulates both parts. The hotel has 18 rooms, all different, and it also counts with 3 linked dining rooms.
