The Palacio is the former summer residence of a Duke from Madrid and his family and is one of Andalucia's finest country homes. Offering total peace and tranquillity, & sumptuous accommodation with character and charm, the Palacio is situated just half an hour from the city of Seville.

Steeped in history, the property has been the subject of a total sympathetic restoration over the last 5 years, and will now make a wonderful retreat or luxury Boutique Hotel.

Approached via its very own private tree-lined avenue, the Palacio looks every bit the perfect Andalucian country estate. That enticing first glimpse is more than enough to tell the visitor they have arrived at a very special destination.

The Palacio is a traditional Hacienda boasting flexible accommodation around its original cobbled courtyard. Mature trees create cooling shade to compliment the soothing sounds of the central fountain, while Bougainvillea and Oleander provide beautiful splashes of colour.

A wonderful all-year-round extravagance, the Palacio's heated indoor Moroccan inspired pool really comes into it's own in the slightly cooler winter months. Visually stunning, sensually intoxicating, with authentic hand-made tiles on the floor and in the pool, and intricate plaster work - every feature combines to create an exotic flavour of the Orient.

Taking the backdrop of the Palacio's classic whitewashed Andalucian heritage, the interior design team took inspiration from Europe and Morocco to create stylish and charming living spaces which are both elegant and comfortable.

The main living spaces within the Palacio are very generously proportioned, but the way they have been decorated and furnished makes them feel incredibly welcoming and "homely". Whilst the overall feeling is one of opulence and grandeur, this is never at the cost of comfort.

The Palacio boasts numerous large bedroom suites, each with it's own en-suite bathroom facilities and a large private patio. Having their own outdoor space makes them absolutely perfect for private visitors or paying guests. The two largest Honeymoon Suites - 100 m2 each - are located on the first floor with beautiful terraces which enjoy spectacular views and dreamy sunsets. Every bedroom suite features a gorgeous private bathroom, each different and unique, but all share the same attention to detail with classical or modern fittings from luxury manufacturers such as Sbordoni of Italy.

Whether you're looking to enjoy breakfast on a terrace in the warm winter sunshine, or find a shady spot in which to laze on a summer's afternoon, the Palacio's numerous terraces and patios there are places to hide everywhere, boasting delightful views in every direction. Nothing to detract from the beautiful natural landscape which surrounds the Palacio.

The Palacio sits within its own grounds of 3.5 hectares, surrounded by mature olive groves, approached via its own tree-lined avenue. It has abundant parking. The Palacio lies within pretty, rolling countryside, a patchwork quilt of olive groves, sunflowers and cereal crops, making the location ideal for all kinds of outdoor activities, including horse-riding, paragliding and cycling.

The towering peaks, pristine azure lakes, and pine forests of the Grazalema and Alcornocales National Parks can be enjoyed within half an hour, as can award-winning golf courses in Arcos de la Frontera, Seville, Jerez and Antequera. This part of Andalucia enjoys one of the best climates in the world, with over 300 sunny days every year, and mild frost-free night-time temperatures.

Situated within 10 minutes drive of three bustling whitewashed villages, each boasting excellent restaurants and friendly locals, and lying halfway between the impressive cosmopolitan capital of Andalucia, Seville, and the gorgeous historic town of Ronda. Seville's International Airport is just 30 minutes away and Jerez de la Frontera airport one hour. Malaga airport is 2 hours mostly by motorway and the airport at Gibraltar is 2 and half hours.
