    Casas del Rey de Baeza

    Seville 

    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 its traditional architecture, furniture and attention to detail. Located just a stone’s throw away from one of the city’s great palaces, Casa de Pilatos, it is a great base from which to discover Seville. The roof-top terrace is very inviting, not least for its swimming pool and wonderful views.
