About this house rental
Situated in "La Judería", this house is located in the pedestrian-only side of one of the most ancient and beautiful streets in Seville. This is a very comfortable “home from home”, furnished to an exceptional standard with a mixture of contemporary and antique furniture, air-conditioning, lift for comfortable access to all floors and very high quality mattresses in all beds, making it the perfect place to return after a busy days sightseeing for one or two families or a group of friends who wish to enjoy the history and character of Seville whilst living in a luxury home. The main façade faces the palace of Don Miguel Mañara, on whose early life is based the universal character of Don Juán Tenorio. The original medieval palace was modernized to Renascence style in the XVI c. and it has been declared 'Historical Patrimony of Spain'. The lateral facade faces an orange-tree lined street opposite St. Bartholomew's church, built in XVIII c. over the ancient central synagogue of Seville.

Great, spacious property in the heart of Seville. Excellent location. Lots of space. High quality property. Easy communication with host.
5.0 / 5.0
A beatifully renovated house in the ideal location for exploring Sevilla. There were 5 friends and the house gave us a large room and bathroom each which was ideal. Spread over 4 floors the lift was welcome for luggage! We made great use of the large rooftop and the house and kitchen have everything you need. Very quiet at night too..
Would love to return
5.0 / 5.0
This is a beautiful house in a quiet location in the centre of this beautiful city. A 15 minute walk will take you most of the main attractions and there is a small supermarket nearby.
One of the great things about the house was the number of bathrooms as well as the great roof terrace. Highly recommended

What a fabulous property, very clean great facilities, superb location
5.0 / 5.0
This house provided all that our family of ten needed for our reunion in Seville. Bed space was ample. The modern kitchen was outfitted well for our needs, and the modern bathrooms were spacious. The roof-top terrace not only provided space to relax and unwind after busy days, its views gave a good perspective on the neighborhood. Near restaurants, shops, and attractions, our stay in this old section of Seville met all our expectations.
5.0 / 5.0
Seven of us had a wonderful stay in Seville. This property is in a great location with many cafes nearby. The 5 bedrooms and bathrooms gave us plenty of room to spread out and the amount of closet space is impressive. The ceilings are very tall and it was lovely to be able to open the windows/doors to enjoy the ambiance and fresh air. Though it rained a lot during our stay, we were able to hang out on the huge rooftop a couple of times. The communication with Maria Elena was great. She sent us a list of her favorite restaurants and also a schedule of the Semana Santa parades. If you have a large group, this is the perfect place to stay.

Perfect location for us on a quiet street with close access to the attractions and restaurants of Sevilla. Great communications with the hosts. Highly recommended.

The best possible option for a group up to 10 adults in the core of Sevilla, with a breathtaking terrace and a lift.
3.0 / 5.0
Ideally placed and quiet.Impeccable linen.
Very pleasant roof terrace, magical at night.
Perfect for 6/8 people, insufficient for 12: dining table: 8 seats, Terrace table: 6 seats. Insufficient dishes.
Disappointing comfort: 4 children ( 5 to15 years old)in the same office/room designed for 2 beds with 2 additionnal mattresses on the floor)…
Very good relationship with the owner.

This was an excellent base for 8 friends to explore Seville.Host Maria was incredibly helpful and we loved sitting on the roof terrace with a glass of wine in the late evening.
5.0 / 5.0
I stayed in this property with 5 friends and it was perfect. It is very well kept and in my opinion the pictures do not do it justice.
It is very well located, a short walk from the cathedral and bars and restaurants. At the same time it is in a very quiet location.
It is well equipped with numerous bathrooms. The terrace proved to be a great facility, providing a welcome place to relax at the end of the day.
Maria is an incredible host. I was booking at short notice and after the initial contact she requested that I hold off booking whilst she resolved an issue with the aircon. She was aware this would be an issue for us and there was obviously a risk to her that I could have booked another property. I think alot of hosts would have kept quiet about the issue to secure the booking with little thought for us. Needless to say the issue was resolved and we finalised the booking.
Maria was incredibly accommodating letting one of the party into the property ahead of time and allowing us some flexibility upon checkout. She was quick to respond to our queries and offer help. All hosts should be like this.
We had no problems with the property and I would happily stay there again.
I highly recommend it.
4.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed our stay emensley. We had a few issues with wi-fi and the hot water heater & AC but Maria worked diligently to solve all of those issues.
It is a four story home but the lift (elevator) was very convenient and worked well for those who preferred not to use the stairs. We also very much enjoyed the rooftop patio AND SHOWER Up there!!
We were within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, Alcazar & the cathederal & Plaza del Torro! We took several buggy rides to tour the Plaza Espania & other places and they were delightful.
Saville is one of our favorite destinations in Europe!

This lovely spacious house was ideal for our group of 8 women friends.
Completing and sending the police forms on arrival was a hassle, could this have been done in advance?
5.0 / 5.0
We were a group of 9 (although not all were in the house at the same time) and very extremely happy with the house. Exactly as described, comfortable, clean, and since the weather was hotter than expected we really appreciated the COLD A/C!! We loved the rooftop terrace for breakfast and late night gathering. The location was close to most everything we wanted to go to, but wasn't loud. Overall, very pleased, and we would stay there again. Maria was very responsive to all questions and concerns.
5.0 / 5.0
Spent the week with family exploring Seville. Beautiful home centrally located. Everything we needed and more. Communication with the house manager Maria was seamless. Housekeeper Loli was so kind as we were leaving. Comfortable beds. Relaxing common areas. Easily adjustable A/C but also plenty of fresh air and sunlight. So much room. Excellent space for family of parents, young teens, college age and young adults. Brought an HDMI and adapter to easily stream movies from Netflix for the younger set on the TV for a treat while the older set went out late at night. Rooftop patio was literally the best! Gorgeous days and nights spent relaxing in this space. Washer/Dryer was a huge plus. Would definitely stay again. 5+
5.0 / 5.0
Pros - close to centre, so easy to walk everywhere, spacious, airy, roof terrace, good air con, comfortable beds, very clean, friendly host
Cons - no welcome pack with water/milk which would have been helpful as we had a late arrival, emergency phone in lift not working - lack of clear instructions on how to use the lift (should be on poster as well as in blue folder) meant that assistance was needed and engineer was called out, sewage smell at times from a couple of the bathrooms
5.0 / 5.0
This property is fantastic. We loved everything about it - the decor, the overall spaciousness for our group, the privacy of each bedroom and bathroom and the rooftop terrace. Plus, the location is in close proximity to shopping, dining and sites but not noisy. We were very sad to leave.

9 of us spent a week in Seville to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday
Pros - house is in quiet location right in the heart of the city, big living/dining room, lots of bathrooms, lovely roof terrace. Cons - floors are marble so noise carries, kitchen on the small side. Host responded to all questions promptly. Would recommend this house

Maria’s property is perfect for a large group to stay at and explore Seville. Can walk to all the sights and are close to the train station. We really enjoyed our time here and would stay again. Maria is very responsive and helpful.
2.0 / 5.0
The property itself was lovely. Three floors with a rooftop patio and an elevator to make life easier. The property manager was easy to communicate with although we never met her. It would have been nice to have had a tour and learn how things worked. The house has stone/marble floors and as such sound reverberated throughout the house. Cooking was a chore as many standard implements and basic spices were not present.
Half way through our stay we started noticing a foul odour in the house. I contacted the property manager who said she would send a plumber but apparently he never came. When I followed up with her she said there was nothing he could do at the moment. I raised the issue of her compensating us for part of the stay and received no response. To my mind this was unacceptable especially considering we had a 1 and a 3 year old staying with us and exposing them to these fumes is unacceptable.
Obviously I cannot recommend this VRBO property.

Easy check in. Very accommodating
5.0 / 5.0
Almost perfect. Only very minor grumbles. Bath towels need to be replaced with something nicer. Apartment is beautiful but sound travels up and down the four levels. Nothing you can do about it, it’s just the design. If you want privacy or you have loud teenagers who want to stay out late (like us) just be aware that you will hear them!

Beautiful house in a fantastic central location.
We were a family of five adults visiting Seville for our Spanish relatives wedding and wanted to stay together rather than in a hotel.
The house was amazing, so many rooms, big bedrooms, en-suites, bathrooms on each floor, lovely sitting room, kitchen and terrace, we were very impressed.
Maria was also most helpful and accommodating with check in and check out.
We would definitely stay here again when visiting our family in Seville.

Amazing property in the perfect location
The house is simply amazing, we loved it and it fit our two families comfortably. Zero complaints. The location couldn’t be better, everything is within walking distance.

Wonderful experience
This house is large with nice bedrooms, comfortable common areas, and a roof top terrace. The laundry and elevator were great bonuses. Our hostess Maria was incredibly generous, warm and welcoming. Thanks for everything Maria!!

Wonderful house with fabulous roof terrace
Very comfortable family home right in the heart of the old city. Perfectly quiet location, giving the experience of living in old Seville. We were able to walk to all sites and restaurants from the house. The roof terrace is a real plus as it has wonderful views for breakfast and sundowners are the end of the day.

Beautiful house, great location.
5.0 / 5.0
Communication (in English) with Maria was easy. She was very helpful.
There’s a booklet with neighbourhood tips in the house.
The location of the house is within walking distance of the centre and close to many restaurants.
Check in was delegated to the next door neighbour who didn’t seem to care a lot. He just opened the door and wanted to leave immediately. We were standing in a dark house with no idea where to go or where to find keys.
After this initial disappointment, the house itself was a wonderful surprise. It’s a little palace. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, beds were great!
The rooftop terrace is a great extra (but the furniture could use an update, it’s getting rusty, so be careful with your clothes)
One thing to note, the house is advertised with a parking space, but there is no parking space included. Parking is either on the street or in a parking garage. Parking our car the first night took us almost two hours (no space available on the street, and several parking garages full).

Beautiful home, great location
Our family of 9 recently stayed at this home - terrific location within walking distance of most attractions, the train station and many restaurants and shops. The home is beautiful and having several bathrooms we very helpful. Maria was very responsive to our needs.

Fantastic stay.
Just returned from Seville and we loved our stay at Casco Antiguo. It was just as described. Perfectly clean. Comfortable beds. Most importantly, the A/Cs blasted cold air, which we needed after long, hot days roaming this awesome city in the summer. Finally, Maria was the most responsive owner we've ever dealt with in our 20 years of renting homes all over the world. Highly recommend.

Lovely clean property. Well equipped and furnished. Very spacious for our group of 8 adults. Great roof terrace space. The lift was very useful. Excellent situation. I would thoroughly recommend it. Maria was quick and helpful in responding to any queries.

Beautiful, spacious home, in best location!!
Our family of 8 had a wonderful experience staying here recently. The home is spacious and very well equipped to accommodate everything a family would need. It is situated off of a quiet side street in the old quarter, within minutes walking distance to all of the sites and restaurants including the train station. The home was a perfect oasis for us at the end of the day to rest and recharge. We received a warm welcome by the owner Maria who was extremely helpful and provided a wealth of information and remained available to message throughout our stay to ensure any and all questions were answered. As an added bonus the rooftop terrace and outdoor shower were nice on hot days! We highly recommend! Alicia W.

Perfect For Large Family
My family of 8 really enjoyed our stay at Maria's home in Seville last week. It's a great house with plenty of bedrooms and space, plus it is in an awesome location within the Center City of Seville. Most everything is within walking distance. Maria is an excellent host and was very responsive and accommodating before and during our stay. We highly recommend!
2.5 / 5.0
This home is at the heart of the city, and is one of our favorite homes we have stayed in. Our host, Maria was so gracious! She took the time to show us everything, even though we arrived late, and she had a two hour drive to get home. There really are not enough words to do this home justice. From the marble stairs to the "lift" (which came in handy to get our luggage upstairs), there is not a single element that could have been improved on. Our family enjoyed the gorgeously decorated rooms, and fully equipped kitchen. We loved hanging out in the family room and even though the heat was extraordinary, we enjoyed cocktails on the terrace. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this home, and our wonderful host!Thank you, Maria, for an incredibly memorable experience in Sevilla!

Well appointed villa; perfect location for walking to all major sites
Our host, Maria, was very gracious and responsive to our requests. The villa is perfect for a large family or group, given that it sleeps 10 and has 5 full bathrooms. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and the villa itself has great security features. Thank you, Maria, for a most enjoyable and memorable visit to Seville!

Fantastic house in the heart of the old city!
Loved the property - perfect for our group of nine people. We took friends to Spain for the first time (we’ve lived there before) and the house, location, and surroundings made the ideal first impression. Maria is a wonderful host and made everything easy. We hope to return again, soon!
