Acinipo, a Roman town located close to Ronda, was founded in 60 B.C.E. Of great importance in the region, it minted its own coins with the image of a cluster of grapes. During this period the town was famous for its cultivation of grapevines, whence its name (“City of Wine”), and engaged in a great deal of commerce due to its accessibility to sea ports. Wine, a liquid linked to artistic inpiration, is what brings us to the house in which this modern hotel is located.

This house was the residence of two great artists, one local, Téllez Loriguillo, and another Japanese, Miki Haruta. Works by Téllez Loriguillo such as the fantastic mural The Children, and the watercolor Eight Rivers, among others, have been preserved in the house. In the foyer you will also find a selection of sculptures and bas-reliefs by Juan de Ávalos, as well as original decorative pieces which adorn the room and help give the hotel its unique character.
