ANDALUCIA

HOSPES PALACIO DEL BAILÍO Córdoba
Jaen - 75 Miles , Seville - 85 Miles , Malaga - 100 Miles , Granada - 125 Miles
From the ancient cobbled streets of Córdoba , step through the fortified doors of an oversized archway to discover the magic of the five-star Hospes Palacio del Bailío . The grounds are a delightful contrast to the outside world ; overseen on all angles by hotel buildings , the courtyard is like a walled garden refuge from the jungle of the city centre . Be transported by exotic palms and orange trees , in the midst of which stands the remarkable 16th Century palace . Its age is betrayed in the prevalence of Moorish features , including intricate stonework , ornate wood carvings and myriad arches . Other original features include exposed brickwork , stone floors and arched windows . Yet the hotel ’ s design style simultaneously harnesses contemporary elements to put guests at ease during their stay . Guestrooms show a balance between the two particularly well . At mealtimes you can dine on light dishes under the vaulted ceilings of Arbequina Tapas Bar or enjoy more hearty offerings at Arbequina Restaurant - either in the casual dining room or in the courtyard dining terrace . Also known as the Roman Courtyard after the ancient ruins that can be seen here , this space is often the venue for ambient live Spanish guitar music . Further facilities at Hospes Palacio del Bailío include an outdoor swimming pool and Bodyna Spa , where the Roman baths are an exclusive and clandestine place to unwind . Massages and spa treatments are also practiced in treatment cabins in the courtyard . A luxury retreat perfect for relaxing after a day exploring Córdoba .

HOTEL LAS CASAS DE LA JUDERÍA
Córdoba
Jaen - 75 Miles , Seville - 85 Miles , Malaga - 100 Miles , Granada - 125 Miles
A sublime maze of patios and courtyards , the four-star Hotel Las Casas de la Judería occupies a charming fortress palace in the Jewish quarter of Córdoba . Located midway between the Alcazar and the Mezquita , this boutique hotel exudes refined elegance - and a tangible sense of its own history . This is owed to a respectful refurbishment , in which the building ’ s original charm has remained intact due to scant modern embellishment . As befits the Andalucian tradition of outdoor living , Hotel Las Casas de la Judería holds a nexus of covered patios , terraces and flower-filled courtyards . These nooks , filled with archways and columns , are the perfect place for quiet reflection accompanied by the gentle soundtrack of water features . It is a pleasure to disappear here from the chaos of the bustling streets , while a small outdoor swimming pool is an exclusive addition at this central address . There is a type of simplicity in the hotel ’ s interior design that refuses to detract from the original character of the property . The galleria shows this best with its frugal decoration , featuring wooden floorboards and beams separated only by white walls ; the feeling is almost mediaeval . By evening , dine on a menu of revamped Andalucian flavours in the converted stable buildings of Restaurante La Caballerizas de los Marqueses before retreating to guestrooms decorated with regal bed linens and views across the ancient rooftops of Córdoba to the majestic Mezquita .
