The Water Carrier

For a chic retreat in the historic centre of Seville, look no further than this stylish studio – whether this is your first time visiting the city, or your fiftieth, its irresistible combination of design, facilities, and location makes it the perfect choice.

To maximise all the available space, you'll find no design detail has been overlooked in the pursuit of perfection. From the raised platform bed to the built-in seating and the sleek kitchen, everything has its place.

Elsewhere, a tranquil interior courtyard, equipped with a plunge pool and relaxing reading room, is a gorgeous space to escape Sevilla's searing summer heat. Alternatively, head up to the rooftop terrace, where you can bask beneath cloudless Andalusian skies in between dips in the pool and cooling showers beneath the waterfall. Finally, an outdoor patio is ideal for picturesque alfresco breakfasts.

Step outside and wander the historic cobbled streets of nearby Santa Cruz, visit the imposing 15th-century cathedral and learn about flamenco's fascinating history in its spiritual home – all no more than a kilometre from your front door. You might think that the convenience of your central location will be offset by street noise. However, the building's solid construction and thick stone walls do a splendid job of minimising any commotion from the calle.
