Their two dozen properties include a 13th-century castle in Extremadura and a 20th-century Modernist villa in Asturias. Three years ago, the couple sat down with their four daughters to decide what to do with these exceptional buildings-and how to maintain them for future generations.
That was when the idea for a hospitality brand, Vestige Collection, was born. Inspired by Spain's Paradores-a group of state-owned hotels founded by King Alfonso XIII in 1928-the family wants to protect the nation's heritage while also providing a luxurious guest experience. "For my parents, saving and restoring these buildings is a deep passion," says Claudia, the second-oldest daughter.
The first hotel, Son Vell (doubles from $720), opened last June on a 450-acre estate in northwestern Menorca. The long driveway gives it a slow, dramatic reveal: from behind olive groves and orchards of leafy citrus trees, a stone gate emerges, followed by an elegant 18th-century three-story villa built of golden marés limestone.

AFTER EMERGING FROM the intense heat of the sauna, I ran across a wooden deck and plunged into the brisk Baltic Sea. The cold pierced my skin from the soles of my feet upward, like ice water blanching a steamed vegetable. When I surfaced, my travel companions, who'd just done the same, were laughing so hard they could barely stay afloat.
