This grand and ornate apartment on Seville’s golden mile, Calle Sierpes, is a rare and hidden gem. Housed in a 19th-century building and with classic artworks, baroque antiques and renaissance paintings, this home feels elegantly historied, while its modern renovation brings the space right into the 21st-century.

As you step inside, you’ll be greeted with glass walls, bold colours and dazzling chandeliers. There are two living spaces for you enjoy and choose from – spend quiet moments with your new book in front of the fire (though we expect the Andalusian sun will be here during your stay), and social moments on the blue velour sofas with a glass of sangria. While the reverence for the past is ambient here, you'll also enjoy the modern touches – we particularly love the sleek kitchen and glass-framed feature that opens out to a luscious terrace surrounded by greenery – where better to share some olives and tapas bites?

When you’re ready to explore, the city’s cultural and culinary highlights are all within walking distance. From strolling around Parque de María Luisa to admiring The Plaza de España, perusing the boutiques and sipping cocktails in Calle Sierpes – this is an unforgettable setting to experience Seville.
