The exquisite Casa de Carmona , a noble 15^th century palace located in the picturesque town of Carmona, had fallen into sad disrepair when purchased by Sra. Medina. It took five years plus many pesetas, patience and love to restore this masterpiece to its original grandeur.

No expense was spared to bring every modern amenity, yet retain the authentic character of days gone by. From the moment you step through the massive wooden door into an inner courtyard, the magic begins. Wander through the maze of secluded " secret " patios - your heart will be captivated. Potted fruit trees, marble colonnades, fragant flowers , the singing of birds and the gentle gurgling of fountains are entrancing. A romantic walled patio with an exquisite formal garden features a picture- perfect swimming pool fed by five fountains. Doña Marta Medina personally oversaw the interior design and each with elegant, English-style fabrics and superb antiques. Each guestroom has its own personality, yet mantains a similar look of refined elegance. One of my favorites, rooms 23, has a romantic view of the rooftops of old Carmona studded by many church steeples. As an added bonus, the Casa de Carmona has the personal touch of a manager who truly cares - Doña Marta Medina´s personable son, Felipe.
