HOTEL RURAL BENTOR, CASA CHAVES

Villa de Los Realejos
- Arquitectura Civil y Doméstica. Arquitectura Doméstica Urbana -




Popular mud jar architecture dating from the 17th century. The house is built on one of the largest lots given by Alonso Fern ndez de Lugo to the first settlers of the Realejo Bajo. I must have belonged to one of the first families that settled in the area, possibly passing on inheritance until falling into the hands of the Chaves family. In the post-war era, I house the school, using some housing units as classrooms. This traditional home of great presence, was originally composed of the residential area, barn and stables, being currently transformed into what is known today as the Hotel Rural Bentor, the result of an intervention carried out in recent decades .



Hotel Rural Bentor, Casa Chaves

The house was built taking advantage of the unevenness of the street as well as the staggering of the land towards the God Nez ravine, so it has two heights on the main facade towards Cantillo Abajo street, while the back towards the ravine shows its three heights.

The property is structured with a plant in the form of 'U ', where the module located on the north side only reaches two heights. Something curious that this building presents is that the courtyard is closed by a wall crowned with a corridor discovered as a viewpoint, supported by jabalcones inside. The wall presents a portal n that formerly gave way to an area where the gardens were.

The main facade is composed of ten openings, five on the lower floor, with the hall in the center, and five on the upper floor. All other openings correspond to window openings. Those that present the facade at present are not the original ones, since these were replaced in their recent intervention to be transformed into a hotel, as happened with part of the interior carpenter. The roofs are resolved to three and four waters with Arabic tile, executed on a wooden structure.
