CASA PALACIO SAN JOSÉ V — Baroque elegance and contemporary comfort
Casa Palacio San José is the result of the exquisite restoration of a noble house from the seventeenth century, neighbouring the enclosed convent of the Dominicans. Restored with fidelity and sensitivity by the prestigious architect Rafael Manzano, the property is today one of the finest examples of Andalusian palatial architecture.
The building
Access is gained through the imposing gate on Calle San José 7. Beyond the entrance hall and its wrought iron gate, the first courtyard opens up, along with a furnished room that leads to the majestic main courtyard, a porticoed space with Roman marble columns, fountains, landscaped terraces and pergolas that provide coolness throughout the year. It is a true delight for lovers of history, architecture and traditional craftsmanship.
The apartment (2 bedrooms)
San José V, one of the five independent apartments in the palace, is accessed directly from the central courtyard, a superb space that anticipates the stately character of the interior.
The apartment welcomes guests with a bright living-dining room, arranged as a single space where a fully equipped kitchen is integrated with ingenuity. The décor combines antique furniture, modern pieces and colourful textiles that bring dynamism and warmth. The marble floors, ceiling height and high-end carpentry remind you at every moment of the palatial nature of the property.
To the left is the first bedroom, equipped with a 160 × 200 cm bed, bedside tables, a beautiful antique wardrobe and a full en suite bathroom.
The second bedroom stands out for a delicate artistic ceramic mural that acts as a headboard. It has a double bed, a large-capacity antique wardrobe, bedside tables, an upholstered armchair and its own en suite bathroom, guaranteeing privacy and comfort for each guest.
The apartment is fully air-conditioned and equipped.
The terraces
The highlight of the experience is found on the third floor, where the large landscaped terraces and the solarium with rainfall shower form a genuine urban oasis. Perfect for having breakfast outdoors, sunbathing or enjoying golden Seville at sunset. On this floor is also located the communal laundry (washing machine and dryer) and clotheslines available in each apartment.
Exceptional location
Situated in the heart of historic Seville, just a 5-minute walk from the Cathedral and the Giralda, Casa Palacio San José offers immediate access to the city's main cultural, gastronomic and monumental attractions: Murillo Gardens, Santa Cruz Quarter, shops, museums and countless charming corners.
The property
The property houses five independent apartments: San José I, II, III, IV and V, with total capacity for 22 guests. It is possible to book several of them or even the entire house for groups.
The building has security cameras in common areas, intended for the security of the facilities. There are no cameras inside the apartments.
