Poetic Spirit

Old meets new in this beautiful home, with a classic building displaying traditional Spanish features blending with contemporary, bright interiors. It works so harmoniously and beautifully, with the iron-wrought balcony rail wrapping around the home, as you can see through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The apartment is decorated so thoughtfully – it's bright and inviting, while still being cosy and warm. There's something special in every corner, from the reading nook to the chic and sociable circular dining table. And although there is so much to love here, the patio doors lead you out to what could be the home's shining jewel – the balcony. You'll love sipping your fresh coffee here, nibbling on a pastry, admiring the gorgeous architecture that surrounds you, and engaging in everyone's favourite pastime – people-watching.

When you're energised and ready to explore, your location in Santa Cruz, the former Jewish quarter, puts you in a wonderful position to see the city. The neighbourhood itself is vibrant, with Spanish and Moorish-style buildings awash with bright colours. There's so much history to delve into –you even have remains of large granite columns from the Roman period right next to your building. You can also explore the Catedral de Sevilla, the Giralda, and the Alcázar with ease and on foot. When all of the sightseeing and walking gets you hungry, Santa Cruz is teeming with small traditional tapas and sangria bars.
