GORGEOUS HOUSE, GREAT LOCATION but avoid staying during rainy days (the house leaked)!
Our stay at this beautiful house on Virgenes would have been perfect, but a 24 hour long major rain storm in Seville caused severe leakage in multiple places inside the house!
However, let me start with the PROS:
Great location - we bought tourist bus passes but in the end it was faster to walk to many of the major sight seeing spots. The neighbourhood has really great vibes, lots of restaurants and bakeries and grocery stores nearby and yet, our street is very quiet. We would have loved to stay here for weeks to try out all the eateries!
Inside the house : Beautifully decorated, comfortable beds, modern bathrooms (2.5 of them!). The kitchen was small but highly functional. Note that the interior stairs / steps are steep and the surface is all hard marble so folks with mobility issues need to be aware.
Management: extremely responsive management team and thoughtful - the previous guests had early departure so the cleaners were sent in early to get the house ready for our early (noon) check in !
Now onto the rain :
April 22, 2022. The heavy rain went on for over 24 hours. We walked to see the Alcazar early in the morning. We came back to find many puddles on the floor in the living room, in the bathroom, first floor corridor, and first floor small bedroom (with the two single beds). We laid out catch basins / pots / pans everything we can find to catch water and had to pour out the contents every few hours as they filled up with rain water dripping into the house. We also had to mop regularly as the drips caused splashes around the pots and pans. Management of the property sent Valentina that evening to come change the bedding of the two single beds as they were soaked, and we moved the two beds towards the inside of the room as the leaks were running along the walls. Luckily the other two bedrooms (double beds) stayed dry. The leaks continued to the next morning when we checked out.
Cleaning up after the leaks took quite a bit out of our holiday, hopefully management will have fixed the leaks by now. We do recommend this property for anyone staying in Seville (but especially on sunny / dry days!)
