Casa de la Gobernador de Cuba is a lavish historic mansion set within the heart of historic Jerez. The home has good proximity to local points of interest, shopping, restaurants, etc. It makes a great base for learning about the city and region. But it also stands on it's own as a marvelously preserved and maintained historic resource.
The grandeur, atmosphere and historic ambiance of the residence can't be overstated. These aspects aren't easily captured in photos. It has a resonant style and scale of a bygone era. It's very evocative.
The home holds an impressive collection of art and antiques. Tapestries, paintings, sculpture & artifacts abound.
Our family of six spent a week here. It was terrific. An elderly relative with limited mobility was happy with her main floor accommodations. The owner was highly attentive, making sure that she was comfortable. Rooms are spacious and elegant.
The dipping pool was used frequently, as was the dumbwaiter. The residence was constructed to ventilate quite well, even during warm July days in Andalucia. Jerez gets a pleasant ocean breeze on many days.
Carlos, the House Manager, was able to answer the questions that inevitably arise when one is occupying another's residence. And he did our laundry, which was appreciated.
The owner was prompt and informative when asked for suggestions regarding regional dining options, etc.
Our stay was very pleasant and memorable.
