At a Glance
The close-knit, casually stylish Mora-Figueroa family started this relaxed country estate style hotel in the 1980s as a respite 45-minutes outside of Seville.
Review
The same brothers who run Seville's Corral del Rey grew up visiting their family's fincahotel 60 kilometers south of the city. Today the property is a small hotel with 14 rooms and exudes a casual, home-like vacation quality, with relaxed and spacious common areas, a lushly-landscaped pool and rustic dining room.
Eleven open-plan duplex guest rooms are set around the cobblestoned, bougainvillea-filled courtyard and feature comfortable, homey décor with antique furniture, thoughtful touches and Spanish Alvarez Gomez bathroom amenities. There are three suites with direct access to the beautifully landscaped gardens, a separate pool and relaxed outdoor sitting areas. The suites are ideal for families with one or two children as they have separate living rooms as well as an upstairs "chill out" nook. The beautifully-designed two-bedroom pool villa can comfortably sleep a family of six and offers a bit more privacy with its own infinity-edged pool overlooking sunflower fields.
The 18th-century farmhouse surrounded by olive orchards is set down a graveled, tree-lined driveway and offers an ideal retreat for a large group vacation or event. (The hotel can arrange for gorgeous dinners in the courtyard under purple flower blossoms and countless stars, and it is popular for weddings and private parties.)
Who Should Stay
The Hacienda is an excellent choice for an extended family or a large group of friends who are looking for a relaxed place in Andalusia that offers easy access to scores of typical Spanish pursuits, including horseback riding, wine tasting and visiting to pueblos blancos, the region's charming white towns.
