TOMAS IBARRA POOL & LUXURY, Seville

The apartment sits on a quiet side street one block from Seville Cathedral, La Giralda, and the bustling Santa Cruz neighbourhood. The Real Alcázar is a 7-minute walk, Triana Bridge less than 1 km, and Plaza de España and Maria Luisa Park are 2 km away (a 15-minute stroll). Isla Mágica is 4 km. Seville Airport is 12 km away, reachable by bus from Plaza de Armas (a 10-minute walk) or via the paid airport shuttle. Dozens of tapas bars, cafés, and restaurants are within a 2-minute walk, and a supermarket is 5 minutes away. The location score of 9.8 means most attractions in the historic centre are genuinely walkable.

Each apartment has a separate bedroom, a living room with a sofa bed (for a third person), and a bathroom with shower and free toiletries. The kitchen is well equipped with a stovetop, fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, coffee machine, and dining area. A washing machine and dryer are also included - a practical bonus for longer stays or summer trips. The bedrooms feature comfortable double beds, and the apartment is fully air-conditioned with both living room and bedroom units. The flat-screen TV, wardrobe, and seating area complete the setup. Windows face either the street (quieter due to the dead-end side street) or the inner courtyard, which is especially quiet. The modern building has a lift.

The apartment does not include a restaurant or breakfast service, but the fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare meals. The surrounding streets are lined with restaurants, tapas bars, and cafés - Taberna El Papelon, La Casa del Tesorero, Postiguillo, Milonguitas, Almiranta tapas-Restaurante, Cerveceria Puerto Plata, and Bodeguita Casablanca are all within a 2-minute walk. A supermarket is a 5-minute walk for groceries. For dining out, the Cathedral and Alcázar area offers everything from traditional Andalusian taverns to modern rooftop bars.

The main wellness feature is the rooftop swimming pool, open from June to September. It is a shallow, unheated plunge pool ideal for cooling off after a day of sightseeing, with sun loungers, a solarium, and pool/beach towels provided. The shared terrace is open year-round and offers panoramic views over the city, including the Cathedral. The pool area is shared among the building's 5 apartments, so it rarely feels crowded. Kayaking and canoeing are available in the surrounding area, and the many parks (Maria Luisa Park, gardens of the Alcázar) are within an easy walk.
