Description In the Middle of it All: Sevilla

Although this apartment sits in the middle of Seville, you can immediately dismiss any preconceptions of cramped accommodation that is all too often found in city centres – this home is generous with space, both inside and out.

There's an elegant feel to the open-concept living-dining area, with stark white walls adorned with large pieces of vibrant artwork and shiny tiling underfoot reflecting the natural light that streams in through the French doors. Throughout the rest of the home, there's a minimalist approach to decoration, especially in the smart kitchen and bright bedrooms.

One asset that's sure to win you over is the terrace complete with an alfresco dining table and a separate lounge area that sits underneath a thatched roof. It's a perfectly peaceful place to escape the hustle and bustle of Seville's streets, which lie just outside the front door. The huge collection of artefacts in the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de Santa Isabel de Hungría gallery sits just across the street, while the gothic cathedral is only three minutes' walk away.
