Housekeeping front end was great. There’s only a few issues with the dining area with strong personalities and at the bar they can be extremely rude, but other than that, I had a great time and was satisfied with the rest of their service services.

Puerta de San Andrés

5/5(1 review)

You can find out about the history of Segovia when you stop by Puerta de San Andrés. While in this walkable area, find time to visit its stunning cathedral.

This 14th-century tower was built during a period of feuding by the local nobility. Towers went up all over town - I imagine it must have looked something like San Gimignano does today - until Ferdinand and Isabel gained enough control in the 15th century to force many of the families to lop off their towers. Look for their stubby remains all over town.

In later years this tower was used as an armory, and today it hosts the occasional art exhibit.

Stylish, 15th-century Renaissance palace.
