Santo Sol

Holiday Rental Description

Sitting within the old town quarter of El Arenal, this striking apartment not only puts you in a wonderfully central spot from which to explore the city, but also offers a delightfully sunny base catering to the best of Sevillian living.

Step into the open-plan living area to be met with glossy marble floors, tall ceilings and an elegant mix of classic and contemporary decor. We love the amount of natural light that pours into the space from the wood-panelled French doors that open out onto pretty Juliet balconies. The bedrooms, meanwhile, are just as chic with their statement walls and pared-back, yet refined aesthetic, inviting you to sleep soundly in their comfortable beds.

Our favourite spot, however, is the sun-soaked private terrace accessed from the hallway. With incredible views of the Catedral de Sevilla and La Giralda, this is the ideal spot to begin mornings over coffee and locally bought pastries or to end each evening with a celebratory drink as the sun sets over the city.

When you’re not too busy soaking up the rays on your private terrace, make a beeline for the nearby sights, of which there are many – the cathedral is a mere 450 metres away, the Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla is 290 metres away and the beautiful Royal Alcázar of Seville is also just 450 metres from your door.


Home truths:
*It's on the second floor of a building with no lift
*At capacity, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room
*A cot is available on request
*The kitchen is compact and lacks an oven – we think it's better suited to light snack making
*There's a flight of steps in the apartment's hallway leading up to the private terrace
*There's no desk here, but the dining table can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace if needed
*As you're in a wonderfully central location, you may hear some street noise during your stay
*The building's entrance is shared with the other residents
*There's no parking here, but we recommend skipping the car and using Seville's public transport instead – Puerta Jerez is a seven-minute walk away
