Vacation rental in Seville

[JustTravel]

Just booked our flights to Paris for this April and would like to take a side trip to Seville in mid-May for 5-7 nights.

I am looking for recommendations for a comfortable one bedroom apartment in Seville. I am just starting my research for this part of the trip, so will appreciate any recommendation - specific apartment or rental agency and/or location. Would also love to hear about things to do and places to see.

I have some vacation rental agencies listed here but here are my notes.

This agency is for Seville and I have heard good things about it: www.sevilla5.com
They also run this website: www.veoapartment.com

And this agency is for Seville: www.welcomesevilla.com

Here is a thread I started with some good Seville info: Southern Spain - Seville or Grenada?

 

[JustTravel]

Thanks, Pauline. I will check out the links. I am also checking out ST.

Booked this apartment yesterday - http://www.veoapartment.com/apartment-seville-0054-plaza-santa-cruz-b.html

Excited to finally be visiting Sevilla. Now to more research...... Any and all suggestions and recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

That apartment looks lovely!!

We spent a week in Santa Cruz A in 2012 -- you've made a great choice! Be sure to read Azahar's guide to tapas bars and restaurants in Sevilla: http://azahar-sevilla.com/sevilletapas/. We enjoyed Vineria San Telmo, which is close to your apartment, so much that we returned twice more. I'll check my notes to find out the name of the flamenco show that was recommended to us -- small, intimate, and authentic.

Thanks, Ann. I would like to see a flamenco show. I think there is one right on Plaza Santa Cruz. I wonder if it is any good.

I have ben reading Azahar's guide and even considering taking her Market and Tapas tour.

Never been to Spain except for San Sebastian, and very excited to be going for the fist time.

http://www.casadelamemoria.es/ is the flamenco show we attended. Its location has changed since we were there, and I don't know whether it's as small and authentic as it used to be. I'm sure Azahar could tell you. PLEASE go to San Telmo -- really really good, and a nice setting too.

 

[JustTravel]

Thanks for your suggestions, Ann. We will definitely try San Telmo.

 

[Pauline]

... Azahar's guide and even considering taking her Market and Tapas tour.

She posts great photos on Instagram. I would like to take one of her tours (if we ever get to Seville).

 

[JustTravel]

....beautiful photos. Thanks for the link, Pauline.

JustTravel, Seville was one of our favorite places in Spain. We too were there in the Springtime and Santa Cruz was full of orange blossoms. The smell was outstanding. Hope you and Paul enjoy it. See you in Venice in October.

 

[JustTravel]

Hi, BJ. We are looking forward to Sevilla. The more I read about it, the more excited I get. We are also looking forward to Paris, Brugge and London - places we have been to several times.

We are also set for Venice in October. Flights and accommodation are already booked!

I'm reviving this thread, because Philippa and I are off to Seville tomorrow, for 5 days, staying in @JustTravel 's Santa Cruz B apartment (looking forward to those sharp knives!), taking @azahar's Flamenco & Tapas tour tomorrow evening, and looking forward to following @Parigi 's and others' recommendations. Thanks to all who have shared their Seville knowledge here - I look forward to adding a bit more, very soon!

 

[Ann]

Have a great trip, Jonathan -- I know you will love Sevilla!

 

[JustTravel]

Ciao, Jonathan. Enjoy Sevilla.

We are here overnight, staying at the Sofitel LHR T5. Flying to Venice tomorrow.

 

[jonathan]

Ah - welcome (briefly) to England, JT! And thanks, Ann. OT for this thread, but I just got some exciting news: next May, I'm heading to Venice for work for the first time - a concert in the Frari, and playing for Mass in the Basilica San Marco. More details later...

 

[Ann]

We'll just miss you, Jonathan -- will be in Venice for 2 weeks in April, and then 10 days in the Piemonte. Don't forget San Telmo!
