A wonderfully restored rustic house in Cáceres

When restoring an old or historic building, usually the goal is to preserve as much as the original as possible. You want it to get a fresh new look but, at the same time, you want it to preserve its charm and character. Most often, the architecture remains untouched with a few repairs made when necessary. But it’s easier to look at this when you have an example to analyze so let’s take a look at this beautiful house.
