Situated in a maze of narrow streets in the Barrio Alfalfa in Seville, this 17-room hideaway greatly resembles the riads of Marrakech and Fes. (This is a venture by the Reid family, who own the Hacienda de San Rafael, a recommended country property 45 minutes south of Seville.) The hotel comprises two 17th-century buildings, set across the street from each other, which were once private residences. Rooms are snug but decorated with great flair by Kuky Mora-Figueroa — otherwise known as Mrs. Reid. Most desirable are the Pool Suites, with their own outdoor spaces, plunge pools and loungers. Common areas include a breakfast area with a bar where tea is served in the afternoon and tapas and premium sherries are offered in the evening, plus an appealing lounge with an honor bar. There is also a rooftop terrace with a pool for use by all guests.
