Halfway between Seville and Córdoba, in the Guadalquivir valley, is this 15th century Franciscan monastery converted into a Destination Hotel. Wake up to the smell of Jazmin blossom and freshly squeezed orange juice, lose yourself among its patios, gardens and organic orchard. Enjoy its Restaurant Hortus in the Chapter Hall or local Tapas with a sherry wine at Terrace & Bar. Refresh yourself in its large pool surrounded by nature and live experiences that exalt Andalusian beauty, both within the building and outside its centuries-old walls. For people who want to enjoy the meaning of good life, with countless corners surrounded by views that invite you to elevate and recharge. If you choose a Deluxe or Junior Suite room you will have exclusive access to the Bishop lounge, where you will find a library, Honesty Bar, Smart TV, billiards and an area to work, alone or with your team, with natural light and stunning views. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, 50 minutes from Córdoba and 1 hour by car from Seville, it can also be reached by train with a long schedule every day of the week. Call our Concierge Service if you want to schedule a transfer.
