This is a highly acclaimed hotel centred on a series of courtyards shaded by balconies of lush plants. A real feeling of relaxation and intimacy prevails, and this is possibly one of the most charming hotels in Seville, with traditional architecture, furniture and attention to detail making it a great base from which to discover the city. The rooftop terrace is very inviting, not least for its swimming pool and wonderful views, as is the excellent restaurant where you can savour fine dining.

The hotel is a beautiful conversion of two town houses that has resulted in a stylish, elegant hotel, with (reputedly) one of best restaurants in Córdoba. Its location is excellent – in the heart of the fascinating Jewish quarter and only a few minutes’ walk from the Mezquita.

Located on the edge of the atmospheric Albaicín, this romantic 15th-century mansion is close to the Alhambra, and enjoys views to the palace from its terrace. Inside, it is exquisitely appointed and full of character, the furniture, fine tilework and original features recalling years gone by. The 14 stylish bedrooms are set around the central, arcaded courtyard, which has a fountain at its centre.
