Tucked into the Santa Cruz neighbourhood, this apartment puts you at the centre of old Seville – the Cathedral and Alcázar are a six-minute walk, and the winding, bougainvillea-draped alleyways of the old town are right on your doorstep. After a day of exploring, the small courtyard is a welcome retreat: a quiet spot to wind down with a cold drink or linger over tapas. Up on the roof, an outdoor shower is perfect for cooling off on warm evenings. The Torre del Oro is eleven minutes on foot, so there's plenty to draw you out again when you're ready.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
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.
Your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones upon request.
Getting to the apartment with luggage can be a little tricky from the main road, given the narrow lanes of the Santa Cruz neighbourhood. Your host is on hand to help you navigate – don't hesitate to reach out before arrival.
Being in the heart of Santa Cruz means some evening and early-morning street noise from nearby restaurants and bars is part of life here – worth bearing in mind if you're a light sleeper.
