"Five stars, 26 rooms, and a million stories define this former palace of the Marqués de Caro in Xerea, where Roman mosaics from the 2nd century BCE, remnants of Moorish walls, medieval coffered ceilings, Gothic arches, and 19th‑century details surface at every turn. Francesc Rifé’s renovation balances minimalist, contemporary lines with deep history across unique guestrooms, a serene library, a terrace with a small pool and bar, and Alma del Temple, where traditional, flavorful Valencian dishes are served against the backdrop of a 12th‑century Moorish wall; an expansion planned for 2025 aims to add rooms, services, and even more history." - María Casbas
