The Palacio de la Serna is a
wonderful paradise. Eugenio Bermejo, the owner, is a well known Spanish
interior designer and painter, who retired early from his interior
design career to dedicate his time to panting, for which he bought this
XVIIIth century former military garrison and transformed into a hotel, a
very peculiar one... He lives on the premises and runs the hotel Palacio
de la Serna practically from his studio which is in a way open to hotel
guests. If you like to paint you only have to say so and Eugenio will
let you use his studio at no extra charge, except for the cost of the
materials. He even gives free counseling! Needless to say, Palacio de la
Serna makes you feel the presence of this artist in every corner of the
house. The rooms, decorated by him of course, are very different one
from another, some you may love, some maybe not. He uses a lot of
contrast, for example: very colorful walls, iron works, antique
furniture, you name it he is got it, even a dining table sawn down the
middle, one half used for the wash basin and the other, set against a
wall in the living room of the suite, with the TV on it. Another emblem
of Eugenio here, is his cooking, he is in charge of the kitchen and
going with his personality, he does not follow any recipes, he calls it
the author’s cooking, every time something different. As far as we
tasted, it was excellent. |
