Conveniently located in the charming Arenal area of Seville, this lovely one-bedroom apartment offers a delightful retreat for up to four guests. Step into the open-plan living space, where you'll find a cosy seating area that doubles as a pull-out sofa bed, providing comfortable accommodation for two additional guests.

The living area leads onto a gorgeous furnished terrace made for long summer days spent in the company of loved ones (or simply the characters from your latest read) and balmy Spanish evenings accompanied by a chilled pitcher of Sangria. The city views from the balcony elevate this already stylish home into something extra special, helping it feel entirely at one with its captivating surroundings.
Down the corridor and into the tastefully finished master bedroom with ample storage space. Within this relaxing space, guests can rest and rejuvenate after a day of exploring Seville's enchanting streets by sinking into a restful sleep in the sumptuous double bed, ensuring you wake up refreshed and ready to embrace the full scope of the city's offerings once again. Next to the bedroom is a contemporary bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower finished with unique wood panelling.
Cosy, comfortable, and brimming with a certain homely charm, this one-bedroom apartment provides a welcoming retreat in the heart of the city and, with its wonderful location between two of the city's most popular areas and easy access to the city's attractions, lively restaurants, and vibrant nightlife, it's the perfect place to begin your laid-back Sevillian sojourn.
With a prime location between Seville's Casco Antiguo (the Old Town) and San Bernardo, within easy reach of the city's iconic cathedral, this home is nestled amongst some of the Andalusian capital's best and most beguiling sites and attractions.
Among the many highlights is the Museum of Fine Art (reachable in around 30 minutes on foot), where visitors can admire beautiful works from Spanish and global artists, and the sprawling Parque de María Luisa, Seville's largest green area, again located around a half hour walk away.
Or take a leisurely stroll along the picturesque Guadalquivir riverside. Once a bustling trade route, the area has become a popular hangout for locals and visitors alike, leading to the verdant oasis of the Jardines del Guadalquivir.
Casco Antiguo, also known as the Old Town of Seville, is an enthralling area on the east bank of the Guadalquivir River, encompassing distinct neighbourhoods, each with unique characteristics. Among these, Barrio Santa Cruz stands out with its narrow streets and picturesque squares enlivened by fountains, orange trees, and vibrant tapas bars—a must-visit during your stay in this home. Formerly the Jewish Quarter, Barrio Santa Cruz boasts significant landmarks, including the grand Gothic Cathedral of Seville with its famous Moorish bell tower, La Giralda, as well as the opulent Real Alcázar Moorish fortress and palace. For something a little different, delve into the captivating history of flamenco dance at the Museo del Baile Flamenco, a fascinating museum and theatre.
Just north of Barrio Santa Cruz lies Barrio Alfalfa, a labyrinth of narrow alleys, lively squares, and iconic sites. The central hub, Plaza Alfalfa, is surrounded by popular cafes and restaurants. Don't miss the Plaza del Pan, with its wealth of independent shops, Plaza de la Pescadería, which boasts ample open space, or Plaza del Cristo de Burgos, known for its lush greenery. The stunning Casa de Pilatos, an elaborate Mudéjar-style Andalusian palace, adds to the area's allure. Then there's the trendy Soho Benita, home to a collection of independent shops, boutiques, bars, and hotels that attract Seville's trendy and cosmopolitan crowd.
For those in search of delectable flavours, both San Bernardo and Casco Antiguo boast a plethora of dining and drinking options, with the vibrant tapas scene taking centre stage. Numerous traditional and innovative tapas bars beckon, offering the chance to experience Southern Spain's laid-back, alfresco dining culture. From traditional Andalusian dishes to international fusion flavours, there truly is something to satisfy every palate. Embrace the versatile dining style of tapas and savour local delicacies like gazpacho, salmorejo, pescaíto frito (fried fish), and the famous Seville oranges, adding a zesty touch of refreshment to hot days.
While staying in the area, don't miss the opportunity to visit the striking Metropol Parasol, the world's largest wooden structure that boasts panoramic views of the city. For visual delights of a different kind, the Museo de Bellas Artes, housed in a former monastery, showcases works from prominent Sevillian artists like Murillo and Vazquez.
As the capital of Andalusia, Seville's rich history, influenced by Roman, Moorish, and Christian heritage, reveals itself through its architectural marvels. The striking Plaza de España and the unmissable Alcázar of Seville, a unesco World Heritage site, stand as testaments to the city's past. At the same time, the Gothic cathedral, the third largest in the world, holds the tomb of Christopher Columbus, underscoring the city's link to the pioneering voyages that unveiled the New World.
As one might expect in a city as culturally rich and diverse as Seville, the yearly calendar is brimming with festivals. Among the most popular are the Feria de Abril and Semana Santa (Holy Week), each showcasing the city's lively spirit and deeply rooted traditions while offering an experience that blends history, culture, and gastronomical delights, making Seville an unforgettable year-round destination for all who visit.
