Situated in a sought-after spot in central Seville, this chic apartment is only a few metres away from the World Heritage Site cathedral and its adjoining Alcázar palace. Right by the Guadalquivir river, El Arenal forms the old quarter of the city – meaning you'll have traditional tapas and Andalusian architecture on your doorstep. For a taste of local culture, we recommend visiting one of the nearby tablao venues and watching a flamenco show. Inside this cheerful home, you'll find a bright kitchen perfect for plating up a breakfast of churros. Above the dining table, why not pluck a book from the shelf and spend a slow morning reading in your velvet armchair? Later, come back and take a siesta in this serene bedroom. Then, hop under the rainfall shower and enjoy getting ready for an evening out on the town. We love that you have ample storage space here too, so you can bring an outfit for every occasion.
