ESTRELLA GIRALDA BY VALCAMBRE, Seville

The apartment is on a calm street within the old town, yet the Cathedral and Alcázar are about 10 minutes on foot, Setas de Sevilla just 5 minutes. Barrio Santa Cruz is a 12-minute walk, and a taxi rank, supermarket and bakery are only 2-3 minutes away. Public parking is 5 minutes from the entrance, making car access possible with a small detour. The area is quiet at night despite being surrounded by restaurants, bars and shops, and all major landmarks are easily reachable without a car.

The apartments are air-conditioned throughout, with comfortable, often very large beds (firm mattresses) and quality linens. Each unit has a separate bedroom, living room, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. Kitchens come with a stovetop, fridge, dishwasher, and kitchenware - suitable for simple meals. Top-floor apartments feature private terraces with plunge pools. Some ground-floor units have less natural light, but the overall feel is modern, clean and well-maintained. Storage includes wardrobes and a coffee machine in every apartment.

The apartments have a full kitchen with a hob, refrigerator, dishwasher and utensils, making it easy to prepare meals. A supermarket and a bakery are within a 2-minute walk for fresh bread, groceries and essentials. The surrounding Alfalfa district is filled with tapas bars and restaurants - many within 300 metres. The kitchen is well-stocked with basic supplies such as washing-up liquid, dishwasher tablets and cleaning products, and pool towels are also provided.

The property has an outdoor swimming pool open all year (unheated) and a smaller rooftop pool, both free of charge. Sun loungers and beach chairs are available on the sun terrace. The pools are particularly valued during Seville's hot summer afternoons as a way to cool down. Top-floor apartments have private plunge pools on their terrace, offering a more exclusive option. For families, cots can be provided on request.

Wi-Fi is available free of charge in all areas. The building has a lift. The apartments are fitted with flat-screen TVs, washing machines, and air conditioning. The team is known for being responsive and welcoming, providing helpful recommendations for restaurants and activities. Check-in is straightforward with a keyless code system. No parking is available on-site, but public parking is a short walk away. Pets are not permitted, and the entire property is non-smoking. Pool towels are supplied, and basic toiletries are provided.
