Casa del Gobernador de Cuba - XVIII Century Palace in Old Quarter

The property is beautiful and we felt like we were engaging in a part of the city’s local history.

We had a fabulous stay. Eight friends visited from the UK and this was just perfect. So much space and character whilst being so central. A supermarket opposite was useful and the meal prepared for us by Carlos was exceptional. We enjoyed using the pool to cool down after a day of exploring and there were so many areas to relax in with a sherry. Took a bit of skildul manoeuvring to get the cars in the garage but we managed. Thank you so much for a fantastic trip.

good location, wonderful palace with plenty of rooms to spread out and relax. Jerez was a great city to enjoy as well as a good hub to enjoy the area

We thought the house was magnificent: location great for the city centre, lots of social space, and good accommodation for 3 couples plus 3 young adults. Pictures give an accurate impression of what it’s like IMO. Communication with the owner and with the housekeeper were both great.

Magnificent house an stay. Excelent assintant Carlos. Great location.

Gorgeous antiques & overall aesthetic, we loved the plunge pool & the location so close to everything. Everyone had their place to chill and have fun within those walls.

Behind an unassuming door, an oasis awaited us. This was the loveliest property we have ever rented. the location is close to the center of everything in Jerez, but just far enough (a few blocks) away to be quiet. The rooms are many and comfortable; it would be a great place to go with a large group. We felt at home, and were enchanted by all of the family photos and drawings. The back garden, with its lemon and orange trees, was a wonderful place for us to spend time with friends and family. We highly recommend this property.

We had 11 people at the house at it was perfect.

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.

Firstly it was a privilege to stay in one of the traditional Palais’ of Jerez. Unfortunately the house hasn’t been updated or modernised in some time which is a shame considering the potential it has.All appliances need updating ,the fridge in the outside kitchen did not work and has not for some time. AC is badly needed throughout the house particularly in the temperatures Jerez often reaches.All the shutters were closed in an attempt to stop the heat getting in which results in a dark musty environment. The foliage around the pool and outside garden are unkept and with filled with insects … ants are everywhere, even in areas where there’s no food.There also seems to be confusion surrounding its listing as an ENTIRE house to let. Carlos the housekeeper is mentioned in the description but we assumed he’d have his own entrance , this however is not the case.In effect you are sharing the dwelling.Carlos I must say however is a lovely helpful man , we just didn’t expect to be seeing him coming and going throughout our stay as we value our privacy. On the plus side , the WiFi is good and the house is charming if a bit faded.
