Calle San José – Apartment 5

The two-bedroom Calle San José 5 luxury apartment to rent in Seville offers the perfect retreat for two or four people right in the historical heart of the city, just 5 minutes’ walk from the Cathedral and the Giralda. It is one of five apartments within a stately 17th century Palace, a fabulous example of traditional Andalusian Baroque architecture. The building has been beautifully restored by renowned classical architect, Rafael Manzano, who was responsible, for conserving and restoring Seville’s Royal Palace complex and the Alfonso XIII Hotel.

The five apartments can be rented separately or together, to accommodate up to 22 people in total. Entrance to the property is through heavy wooden doors and a large wrought-iron gate, then a walkway leading to the main patio, and a furnished, covered sitting area. The entrance to the Palace is into a hallway giving access to the upper floors via a magnificent stairway and lift.  At the top of the building, on the third floor, are the shared terraces, an oasis of green in the centre of the city, where guests can enjoy breakfast, an evening drink, sunbathing in the solarium, complete with rainfall shower, or just admire the impressive views. There is also a shared laundry room at this level, with washing machine and dryer.

Inside the apartment, there is an open-plan living and dining area, in which a small kitchen has been cleverly integrated. The décor combines antique and more modern furniture, with colourful textiles, and the height of the ceilings, the quality carpentry and marble floors are a constant reminder of the aristocratic nature of the property. To the left is a pretty bedroom with a 160 x 200 cm double bed, bedside tables, an antique wooden wardrobe, and a full en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom has a decorative ceramic mural as a headboard and main feature of the room.
