La Casa del Maestro, Seville, Andalucia - Explore & Book
"This was the home of Nino Ricardo, one of Spain’s great flamenco guitar players. He lived here for nearly 60 years and pictures of him still adorn the walls. Ricardo’s family still own the hotel and keep it alive partly in his memory - look out for the commemorative plaque outside.The house itself is also a real find, with great prices for the centre of town. The feel is warm, authentic and welcoming, with more than a little style. Step in off the pedestrian street and you enter a small courtyard with a fountain; several floors above you sun pours in through a glass dome. You'll find whitewashed walls, traditional tiled floors, a cast-iron door and elegant cane armchairs. The 11 rooms vary in size but not in style; with comfortable beds, smart furniture and gleaming bathrooms. Climb to the top of the house to find the roof terrace, where you can breakfast with views over Seville’s rooftops to the Giralda and the Cathedral. Highs History, simplicity, tradition and style all come together here with an easy graceThe stylish, uncluttered bedrooms offer good value for moneyThe friendly, helpful staff offer a personal serviceThere's a lovely roof terrace for breakfasts overlooking the cityIt's in a quiet location on the edge of the historic Barrio de Santa Cruz Lows There's no lift, but ground-floor rooms are available and staff can help with luggageSome rooms are now in need of a new lick of paint, and some Standard Rooms are very smallDon't expect fancy service; this is a B&B and you'll have to go out to eatIt can be hard to find in Seville's maze of narrow streets - best to take a taxi" - Tom Bell
