We had such a wonderful stay at Blanca’s gorgeous home – and it really exceeded our expectations.
As you walk down a quaint, narrow alleyway you can’t possibly imagine what lies behind the big, wooden front door. When you enter, you find a beautifully furnished home, packed full of artistic treasures and homely touches. Then from the sitting room, a series of French doors open out onto the prettiest courtyard garden and a small pool, perfect for a dip on a sweltering hot day.
In the mornings, Blanca lays up the garden tables ready for breakfast – and this was the perfect way to start the day. A selection of fruit, muesli, yoghurt and local cakes, toast and jam or marmalade plus orange juice and tea or coffee. Then in the afternoon, guests can take to the pool or laze on one of the comfy sun-loungers.
The house was absolutely spotless, and the beds very comfortable, with everything in the room you could need, including pool towels and toiletries in the bathroom. There was even access to a fridge in the kitchen where cold decanters of water were always available to take up to bed at night.
But probably more than the house itself, the location is what makes this house so special. Set just off a historic square, it’s just minutes from the Alcazar and Cathedral, and all-around in the cobbled streets are some of the nicest tapas bars you’ll find in the whole of Seville.
We stayed in Blanca’s house for 5 nights and it was completely blissful. She’s more than happy to help with anything that will make your visit to Seville more enjoyable and told us about a fabulous Paella restaurant where we had an excellent lunch surrounded by locals.
Thank you Blanca, for letting us stay in your wonderful house and for making our stay in Seville so special.
