About this property
Close to the heart of Seville's gorgeous Casco Antiguo (the Old Town) lies this beautiful, classic, and elegant two-bedroom holiday apartment. Bright, spacious, and boasting striking high ceilings and unique features such as those exposed brick walls, this home has been designed with both comfort and style in mind.
Stepping into the living area, an inviting seating area is perfect for kicking back and relaxing with a glass of regional Spanish wine. Those large French doors let the sunshine flood in, creating a chic and airy atmosphere. Open up the doors leading to a small Juliette balcony and allow Seville's sights, sounds, and aromas to waft in on the breeze.
Adjacent to the living area is a sleek and contemporary kitchen. Design-forward and yet practical, it provides you with everything you could need to prepare a meal bursting with rich Spanish flavours – and the elegant glass-topped dining table offers the perfect place to sit and enjoy it with your loved ones. There is also a breakfast bar that doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace, so you can catch up on emails while sipping your morning coffee. Talk about striking a balance between form and function.
Moving through the hall and toward the bedrooms, we come to a luxurious double master bedroom that has been elegantly furnished and offers a lavish, luxurious ensuite bathroom with a large walk-in rainforest shower – making it the perfect place for a little pre-dinner pampering.
There is also a tastefully finished twin room: equally elegant and tastefully finished, it offers a relaxing retreat at the end of a day of exploring the atmospheric Andalusian capital. There's even a comfortable armchair where we can imagine kicking back with a good book as the afternoon sunlight streams in and the outside world disappears. The second bathroom takes its lead from the first and is characterised by clean lines and high amenities, inviting moments of tranquil indulgence.
With its prime location between Casco Antiguo and San Bernardo, this home grants guests easy access to all the iconic landmarks, lively streets, and mouthwatering tapas spots that make this city so special – so why not take full advantage of everything Seville offers?
With a prime location close to 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.
The area surrounding the Cathedral of Seville offers a captivating blend of history, culture, and hidden gems. While the Cathedral is a magnificent Gothic masterpiece, exploring the cobbled streets and nearby alleyways unveils another enchantment world. Stroll along the Guadalquivir riverside, once a bustling trade route, now a bustling hangout for locals and visitors and a gateway to the lesser-known Jardines del Guadalquivir. In search of something to satisfy those tastebuds? There is a variety of restaurants near the Cathedral, offering a range of culinary experiences that includes everything from delicious Sunday brunches to traditional tapas. Of course, Seville's rich heritage and uniquely vibrant atmosphere make it a city worth exploring far beyond the grandeur of the Cathedral.
Casco Antiguo, also known as the old town of Seville, is a particularly captivating part of the city located close to the centre on the east bank of the Guadalquivir River and encompassing several distinct neighbourhoods, each with its own unique character. One of the most famous neighbourhoods within Casco Antiguo is Barrio Santa Cruz: a charming area characterised by its narrow streets, picturesque squares adorned with fountains and orange trees, and vibrant tapas bars – all within easy reach from this apartment! As the former Jewish Quarter, Barrio Santa Cruz is home to significant landmarks such as the grand gothic Cathedral of Seville, its famous Moorish bell tower, La Giralda, and the opulent Real Alcázar Moorish fortress and palace. Visitors can also explore the Museo del Baile Flamenco, a fascinating flamenco museum and theatre that provides a fantastic insight into the history of this iconic and stirring Spanish dance.
Situated just north of Barrio Santa Cruz lies Barrio Alfalfa – a maze of narrow alleys, lively squares, and iconic sites. Plaza Alfalfa serves as its central hub, surrounded by popular cafes and restaurants. Among our favourite places are the Plaza del Pan, home to a wealth of independent shops, Plaza de la Pescadería with its wide-open space, and Plaza del Cristo de Burgos, known for its lush greenery. One of the main attractions in Barrio Alfalfa is the stunning Casa de Pilatos, an elaborate Mudéjar-style Andalusian palace. The area also includes the trendy Soho Benita, which offers a collection of independent shops, boutiques, bars, and hotels popular among Seville's trendy, cosmopolitan set.
If staying in the area, don't miss the opportunity to visit the striking Metropol Parasol: the world's largest wooden structure that offers a panoramic view of the city. The neighbourhood is also home to the Museo de Bellas Artes, an art gallery housed in a former monastery which showcases works from prominent Sevillian artists like Murillo and Vazquez.
Regarding dining and drinking, Casco Antiguo offers a wide range of options, and, indeed, the neighbourhood is renowned for its vibrant tapas scene, with numerous traditional and innovative tapas bars to explore. The atmospheric streets and squares provide a delightful setting to enjoy outdoor dining and experience the local cuisine in the company of locals and visitors alike. From traditional Andalusian dishes to international flavours, there is something for everyone.
Known as the capital of Andalusia, Seville has a fascinating past encompassing Roman, Moorish, and Christian influences, and, as such, the city is rich in history, culture, and gastronomical delights. Seville's historical heritage is evident in its myriad architectural marvels, including the stunning Plaza de España and the unmissable Alcázar of Seville, a unesco World Heritage site. The city's Gothic Cathedral, the third largest in the world, houses the tomb of Christopher Columbus and signifies the city's intrinsic link to the pioneering voyages that began to uncover the New World.
As one might expect in Spain, and particularly in a city as culturally eclectic as Seville, the yearly calendar is jam-packed with festivals, such as the Feria de Abril and Semana Santa (Holy Week), each of which showcases Seville's lively spirit and deeply rooted traditions. Sevillian cuisine is equally diverse and delicious, with tapas being a popular dining style. Visitors can savour local delicacies like gazpacho, salmorejo, pescaíto frito (fried fish), and – of course – the famous Seville oranges, which are used in various dishes and drinks and offer up a zesty hit of refreshment on hot Southern Spanish days.
