La Casa Grande

On Calle Real in Talayuelas, next to Plaza Mayor, in the old and also the quietest part of the town, we find this accommodation, whose origin dates back to the beginning of the 17th century. La Casa Grande was rehabilitated in 2007 with the ability to maintain the spirit of the time and at the same time satisfy the needs of today, so it has all the comforts and is the ideal place to disconnect from the daily routine either in couple, in family or in group. In the 1,000 m2 surface that the house has, we will find architectural and decorative elements that go from the 17th century, through the 18th and 19th centuries to the present day. Doors, knockers, gargoyles or bolts are some examples.

It has 12 rooms distributed over its 3 floors for a maximum capacity of 30 people, since it has extra beds and baby cots to adapt to any need. There is a daily cleaning service of the rooms.

The house also offers you a breakfast service every morning. It is of type buffet and consists of local, fresh and natural foods. In addition, it is possible to reserve meals and dinners for groups, which can be of the menu type with traditional dishes from the area such as pig trotters, cheeks in red wine or tripe, or you can also order a barbecue, a paella or a famous lamb stew typical of the town.

The facilities for the enjoyment and recreation of guests include large common areas and meeting points for gatherings, such as the "La Lumbre" space or the shepherds' benches. In the upper and attic area of ​​the house is the "Las Trojes" room, an old grain warehouse converted into a cocktail bar with a fireplace, where children and adults can enjoy a smoke-free environment with the board games available or singing in karaoke. Some Saturdays you can also enjoy live music.

Approximately half of its term is part of the Natura 2000 Network, and 20 Types of Habitats of Community Interest are represented in it, of which 5 are priorities, with a predominance of natural forests of red pine on sandstone that host a great diversity of species. In this town of the Serranía Baja of Cuenca the purest traditions are still alive.
