ANDALUCIA HOTEL
Luxury Hotel In Spain
By: Alan Hope
We hope that this article is informative for those seeking a
luxury hotel in Andalucia in Southern Spain. The hotels that
we have stayed at in Andalucia in Southern Spain are
similar to the exclusive country house hotels that we have
stayed at in England-all offering a personal and professional
service of the highest standard.
HOTEL CORTIJO SOTO REAL
Hotel Cortijo Soto Real, set in 1,000 acres, is located
between Jerez and Seville several miles from the A4 in the
middle of the Andalucian countryside.
Hotel Cortijo Soto Real was originally the opulent private
residence of an Algerian prince and was converted into a
luxury hotel in recent years. The hotel has 24
bedrooms/suites.
We arrived at this exclusive hotel in the evening to be
greeted outside reception by two members of staff who
quickly removed our luggage from the car which was then
parked for us. We were upgraded to a junior suite (having
been shown around 4 junior suites and asked to choose
which ever one we wanted).The junior suite, beautifully
furnished, had a seperate living area overlooking the
orange grove. The huge bedroom had french doors
opening onto a terrace with sun beds and table and chairs
overlooking the acres of grounds and the outdoor swimming
pool. The bathroom was the largest we have ever seen with
a double ended whirlpool bath and huge shower with jets
aimed at various angles. The lady asked my wife if she
wanted a bath run for her whilst we enjoyed a complimentary
glass of wine in the exotic Morocon styled drawing room but
upon returning to our suite not only had a bath been run but
it was surrounded by candles-what a greeting!
Dinner was taken in the hotel restaurant and the food was
delicious. Breakfast was eaten outside in a courtyard to the
sound of bird song.
This luxury hotel has an indoor swimming pool, small gym
and hairdressers. The outdoor swimming pool is magnificent
with the hotel staff providing outstanding service throughout
the day direct to you at the poolside-you can have lunch by
the poolside.
On the hotel's estate you can hire quad or mountain bikes,
ride on horseback or even a horse drawn carriage or shoot.
This is an exclusive luxury hotel set in the real Spain located
well away from the busy tourist resorts. Nothing is too much
trouble-the attention to detail is excellent. The hotel staff are
professional and most personable. This luxury hotel in Spain
provides a superb base to spend the day lazing around the
pool or walking in the immaculate grounds and then to drive
late afternoon to Seville or Jerez or tour around the famous
White Villages in the locality. You will never forget the
experience of being pampered at this luxury hotel -infact you
will not want to leave!
Enjoy!!
HOTEL VILLA JEREZ
Hotel Villa Jerez is a luxury hotel in Spain located in an
exclusive residential area of Jerez only a 10 minute walk
from the home of the famous white Andalucian horses where
a display can be witnessed.
We arrived at the Hotel Villa Jerez, whch is a classic
residence set in an acre of beautiful grounds, late in the
evening to a wonderful greeting outside the hotel entrance
door with our luggage being removed from the car and the
car parked for us. We had asked for a light salad to be
prepared for our late arrival but they had prepared a
beautiful 3 course dinner including a salad served in the
hotel restaurant by a most friendly waiter. We had a junior
suite with a seperate living area, a huge bedroom and a
luxurious bathroom with double ended bath and a seperate
walk in shower with water jets. Our suite overlooked the
gardens and had a balcony with sun beds and a table and
hair here we enjoyed tea before going down to breakfast
which we had outside.
This luxury hotel has 16 bedrooms so you are assured of a
personal service-you will be called by your name! The
outdoor swimming pool is outstanding and beautifully
situated. There is a small gym and sauna and steam room.
Jerez is beautiful to walk around with many designer shops
and of course world famous as it is the sherry capital of the
world-a visit around a bodegas is a must.
The most memorable evening was to have dinner in the
gypsy quarter of Jerez at a restaurant where a performance
of Flamenco dancing was performed-it was so intimate with
only about 50 guests-mainly locals. You could not help but
become encaptured with the electric atmosphere!
This luxury hotel in Spain has the most wonderful location
for easy access to the city centre in about 5 minutes by car.
The staff at this hotel are a credit with nothing being too
much trouble. We would not wish to stay anywhere else in
Jerez when visiting this beautiful old city in the future.
Although this luxury hotel is located close to the centre it is
peaceful and tranquil relaxing outside in the gardens by the
pool. You can also travel to the quiet remote beaches of the
Costa De La Luz in about 40 minutes.
The Hotel Villa Jerez is a most exclusive luxury hotel where
you can be assured of an attentive service-you will not wish
to leave!
Enjoy!!
