Andalusia, a region of stunning scenery, brilliant beaches, great weather, friendly inhabitants, and a rich cultural heritage, is an excellent destination for those looking to plan a vacation in Spain. It is also home to gorgeous and historic cities such as Granada and Seville that are full of incredible buildings, historical monuments, works of art, museums, and more. For those looking to combine all sorts of outdoor pursuits (from surfing to hiking to skiing) with a wide variety of cultural endeavours (from attending Flamenco shows to exploring Moorish architectural gems to enjoying the opera), then a villa in Andalusia is a great idea. If you are looking through our vacation rentals in Andalusia, you may come across the stunning Posada La Casa Del Pintor, a very typical and charming historic property of the region, which is located in the town of Carmona.
Carmona is one of the oldest towns in Europe and, though small, boasts incredible Moorish buildings, a Roman Necropolis and Amphitheatre, stunning Baroque palaces, many different beautiful churches from throughout the centuries, restaurants and bars that boast the town’s incredible traditional Andalusian dishes, delicious local wines, and pretty little winding streets and alleys. There is, therefore, far more to do in the town than one might expect at first glance but it is also just a real looker with unique Andalusian charm, lovely natural surroundings, and lots of elegant buildings that makes for a peaceful and atmospheric base for your holiday in Andalusia. Furthermore, Carmona is just 30km (around 19 miles) from Seville, making it easy to plan day trips to the city and to many other interesting attractions in the surrounding area.
Posada La Casa Del Pintor itself is located right in the historic centre of Carmona and is, in its own right, a historic gem with lots of local flavour and charm. Access is via quite a small alleyway and one might not expect, therefore, to walk into the kind of idyllic Spanish courtyard entrance area upon opening the door that appears before you.
This wonderful space boasts pretty ironwork, colourful tiles, lots of leafy plants, and plenty of outdoor furniture set up under the covered perimeter held on slender columns in this open central space. This makes it a truly ideal spot to sit out with your travel companions in the evening with a glass of wine to chat or to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet and your morning coffee or to laze about with a good book on days where you have no plans.
Inside, the distinct local character of the building continues with high ceilings, big shuttered windows, elegant tiled or marble floors, and antique furnishings and works of art mixed with more modern comforts and amenities. There are six simple and relaxing bedrooms (sleeping up to eleven people in total) that are all en suite and have Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and a television; two practical kitchens; three living rooms; and a rooftop terrace that affords incredible views over the town.
The result, then, is a beautiful and traditional house that can feel as though one has stepped back through time but also with all of the necessities and comforts of contemporary living that you might need. If you want to really get a taste of life in the region and live amongst the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Andalusia for the duration of your trip then this wonderful vacation rental is ideal.
With loads of character, a truly incredible location, plenty of space, and much more besides, Posada La Casa Del Pintor would make for a perfect base for anyone looking to plan a vacation in Andalusia and to explore the region on their next getaway in Spain.
