This hotel is easy and difficult to describe at the same time. It was a former Palace (XVIth century). Now, it has been restored into a luxury hotel. The Owner and also the decorator, Mrs. Marta Medina, did a marvellous job in preserving the house as it was while providing all modern comfort. She did each room and area as she thought it looked best, in a way, independent one from another, to avoid giving the effect of a being in a hotel, but rather, in a family palace. Here you can go anywhere you please within the house and be at your leisure, whitout being constantly approached or watched by one of those hunt dog staff members found at many five star places, who make you feel like you have to wear a coat and tie all day. Casa de Carmona is just the opposite, here you really feel as a "guest". For example, they have a "permanently" open bar at the library, where all drinks are free, you simply have to help yourself, just like if you were home... But this is not all, in all the beautiful rooms where they have some of the best cozy beds, immaculately white linens, fluffy towels and much more, many times, there is even a CD stereo, because their idea is for guests to feel at home in Spain.

(PLACES TO VISIT)

c Carmona with its population dating from 5,000 years ago, may be the oldest continuously inhabited spot in Europe. Throughout history Carmona has survived the rise and fall of succesive empires. According to Caesar, during the Roman Empire Carmona was the largest and strongest city in the region. A great part of the city walls remain standing, and the most important necropolis outside Rome lies on Carmona outskirts. At one entrance to the old city still stands the classically inflected Gate of Cordoba. On the other, the Gate of Sevilla constitutes the most valuable example of an intact Roman gate in all Spain.

As Carmona was a crown city and therefore never had a feudal lord, over the centuries it became the site for an extraordinary number of important and palatial buildings. Together with the city’s many convents and churches, these buildings today constitute the greatest architectural heritage in all of the province of Sevilla outside the capital.

HOW TO GET THERE
