CASA PALACIO SAN JOSÉ IV — Baroque charm on the ground floor, next to the porticoed courtyard



In this noble seventeenth-century house, memory, history and legend coexist in perfect harmony amongst landscaped courtyards, Roman columns, terraces with views and a multitude of architectural details that speak of the splendour of Baroque Seville.



Casa Palacio San José is one of the finest examples of local palatial architecture. Restored with profound respect for its original layout, it has recovered its grandeur thanks to renowned architect Rafael Manzano, who is also responsible for interventions in the Royal Alcázars and the Hotel Alfonso XIII. The result: a building that preserves its classical soul and offers the traveller the comfort and aesthetics of the present.



The building



Access is via the imposing gate at San José 7 street. Beyond the entrance hall and its wrought-iron gate, the first courtyard opens up along with a furnished room that anticipates entry to the majestic main courtyard: a porticoed space with Roman marble columns, fountains, lush vegetation and pergolas that keep it cool throughout the year. From here you can also access the elegant staircase and lift that connect to the other apartments and to the upper terraces.



Art, architecture and history lovers will enjoy every detail: marble floors, coffered ceilings, traditional ceramics and an atmosphere that evokes centuries of Seville life.



The apartment (1 bedroom – ground floor)



San José IV is one of five independent apartments in the palace. Located on the ground floor with direct access from the Andalusian courtyard, it offers an intimate and very special experience: opening the door and finding yourself facing the sound of the fountain, the Roman columns and the cool vegetation at the heart of the house.



The apartment welcomes guests with a bright living-dining room open to the kitchen. The marble floors, ceiling height, artistic ceramics and the beautiful coffered ceiling of the gallery showcase the architectural nobility of the building.



Next is the bedroom, a charming room equipped with a 180 × 180 cm bed, presided over by a delicate mural work in Seville ceramics. A lovely antique wooden wardrobe adds character and warmth. At the far end, a full en-suite bathroom completes the rest area.



The interior decoration combines period Spanish furniture and contemporary pieces in balance, achieving a serene, elegant and very welcoming aesthetic.



The Palace Terraces



On the third floor awaits the spectacular set of landscaped terraces and solarium, a true urban garden. An ideal space for an outdoor breakfast, an evening with friends, a sunbathing session with rainfall shower or, simply, to enjoy the unique view over the bell towers and rooftops of the Judería neighbourhood.



On this floor you will also find the communal laundry room, with washing machine and tumble dryer. Each apartment has clotheslines stored in its kitchen.



Privileged Location



Located in the heart of historic Seville, just a 5-minute walk from the Cathedral and the Giralda, and next to the Madre de Dios convent, Casa Palacio San José allows you to enjoy the monumental, cultural and gastronomic essence of the city. Just a few steps away are the Murillo Gardens, the Santa Cruz neighbourhood, shops, restaurants and some of the most photographed places in Seville.
