Description

Previously a privately-owned mansion, Casa Gangotena has been beautifully restored with antiques and eclectic furniture.

Spread over three storeys, the communal areas include a wood-panelled library, a dining room, patio, rear garden and third floor terrace with wonderful views. The hotel overlooks the historic, cobbled Plaza San Francisco and is in the centre of the colonial old town.
