The rooms
Second-floor suites step out onto private terraces tucked behind the parapet. Bathrooms are finished in vibrant patterned tiles.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated courtyard pool is lined with talavera tiles and cantera stone, with integrated hydromassage jets.
At the table
Cocktails are served from a live-edge timber bar beneath a sculpted plaster archway, or up on the panoramic rooftop.
How it began
Philanthropist Carmen Septién de Soto's grandchildren called her Tá, and later restored her home in her memory.
