Hacienda de San Rafael, Las Cabezas de San Juan
Situated in the quiet, picturesque countryside between Seville and Jerez, Hacienda de San Rafael is an enchanting hideaway. The small, family-owned hotel is located in a converted 18th-century Andalusian olive farm with a relaxed yet luxurious ambiance, its grounds full of lush vegetation, comfy outdoor sofas with pretty cushions, alfresco bars, and swimming pools. By night, the garden is lit by candles – a magical sight. This is still a working farm, with fields of olives, wheat, maize, cotton and sunflowers on all sides. The bougainvillea-filled courtyard acts as center stage to eleven bedrooms. All the rooms are individually decorated by Kuky Mora-Figueroa, using fabrics, antiques and artifacts that are warm and traditional modern. We have booked deluxe rooms here for you.
Corral del Rey, Seville
Located in the centre of Seville in the old quarter of Barrio Alfalfa just five minutes from the cathedral, Corral del Rey is housed in an original 17th century palacio. Anthony and his family have meticulously restored the palace and converted it into a small private luxury boutique hotel, offering chic accommodation with a relaxed cafe/bar and private dining facilities. The architectural highlights include the atrium patio, Roman marble columns and the original wooden carved detailing. Each room has its own creative design, combining an eclectic mix of ancient and modern. There is a state of the art sound and vision system in each bedroom, as well as luxurious marble and limestone bathrooms with walk-in rain showers. The very best linens and custom made bathrobes will spoil you. Guests adore the rooftop terrace with plunge pool and the extended mirador where you can relax with a glass of wine and some tapas while enjoying spectacular views of the cathedral and Giralda tower. We have reserved deluxe rooms here.
