About this property
Overlooking the old city walls and offering views of the monumental Plaza del Cabildo, this beautiful three-bedroom apartment for up to eight guests offers a chic and bohemian base close to both the Casco Antiguo (the Old Town) and bustling San Bernardo neighbourhoods of Seville.
Guests in this elegant yet bohemian home will be greeted by a beautiful living area with an inviting seating area for relaxing or enjoying a laid-back glass of wine at the end of a day of exploring the effervescent Andalusian capital. In contrast, the funky yet elegant dining space with four seats provides the perfect place to sit down for a delicious home-cooked meal with family and friends. Adjacent to the dining area is a kitchen well-equipped with everything needed to prepare that meal filled with authentic Spanish flavours. There's also a breakfast bar seating for two, where guests can spend a leisurely morning lingering over a cup of freshly brewed coffee and the day's paper.
The charming living space is brought to life by the abundance of natural light pouring in through two French doors. These doors not only fill the room with light but also offer access to small Juliette balconies, providing an opportunity to immerse yourself in the lively streets of Seville and soak up the city's vibrant energy – without ever having to leave home.
This delightful home features two double bedrooms and a twin room, providing comfortable sleeping space for up to six of the possible total of eight guests (the remaining two being accommodated on the pull-out sofa bed in the living area). Moving through the bedrooms, it is quickly apparent that each has been finished with exceptional attention to detail, creating unique spaces that lend themselves perfectly to a restful and rejuvenating night's sleep. So you are almost guaranteed to awake in the morning feeling refreshed and ready to take on another day of exploring Seville's ever-exciting streets. Each also has large windows, which means they, like the living area, are flooded with natural light once the curtains are pulled back in the morning. One of the double bedrooms even has a dedicated workspace, which is great should you need to catch up on any work during your stay (you know, if you absolutely must).
When not exploring the enchanting Andalusian capital, this three-bedroom home provides a welcoming and stylish haven to relax, unwind, and spend quality time together. With a fabulous location between two of the city's most popular areas and easy access to the city's attractions, lively restaurants, and vibrant nightlife, this home serves as a stylish yet cosy starting point for all different types of Sevillian adventures.
With a prime location between Seville's Casco Antiguo (the Old Town) and San Bernardo, around the corner from the city's iconic Cathedral and the Reales Alcázares, this home is ideally positioned among some of the many highlights that make the Andalusian capital so unique.
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 why not 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, take advantage of 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.
