Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This compact duplex in the heart of Seville is perfectly positioned for exploring the city’s best bits, with the Setas de Sevilla and a wealth of tapas bars just moments away. Bright and colourful interiors give it a unique design while offering everything you need for a short stay. It's worth noting, the mezzanine bedroom overlooks the living area, so privacy is limited, and things may feel a little snug at full occupancy. The kitchenette is ideal for light bites, but with Seville’s vibrant dining scene on your doorstep, you’ll hardly need it. A charming and well-located base for couples or small groups looking to experience the city.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. Though there's enough bed space for four people here, we think it might feel a little cramped. We'd recommend a maximum guest count of two.
The bedroom is on a mezzanine level and semi-open to the space below, so privacy is limited. Plus, the stairs up to it may not be the best choice for those with mobility concerns.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
Parking in Seville can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

Local guide
About Alfalfa
Located in the heart of the city, Alfalfa reflects Seville’s rich history, with Roman ruins sitting alongside examples of Moorish architecture and Renaissance churches. But while firmly rooted in the past, the area is also ultra-modern, with some of the hippest restaurants located here. Despite its proximity to the centre, Alfalfa still maintains a very residential feel, with a vibrant community of artists and young professionals. From small music venues to art galleries and a wide range of bars and cafes, there’s no better place to be if you want to experience all that this unique city has to offer.
