San José 3 by Home at Homes

CASA PALACIO SAN JOSÉ III — The House of the Daughter of the Giralda



Light, history and a large private terrace in the monumental heart of Seville



At Home at Homes we seek extraordinary places that combine the charm of the past with contemporary comfort. Thus we found Casa Palacio San José, a majestic seventeenth-century residence, restored with exquisite rigour by Rafael Manzano, the architect responsible for interventions in the Royal Alcázars and the Hotel Alfonso XIII. The result: a palatial house that preserves its Baroque soul and offers all modern comforts.



San José III is one of five apartments in the complex, a luminous home designed for four guests, affectionately known as The House of the Daughter of the Giralda, in honour of Bárbara de Santo Domingo, a Dominican nun born here in the nineteenth century.



The building



Access via San José Street 7 leads to the imposing entrance hall with a large wrought-iron gate, to the first courtyard and to an open room that leads to the main porticoed courtyard, with Roman marble columns, fountains and exuberant terraces with pergolas.



Inside, a true display of artisan crafts: classical ceramics, fine carpentry, coffered ceilings and plasterwork mouldings that envelop each room in a unique atmosphere.



The apartment (115 m² + private terrace of 55 m²)



Located on the second floor, it retains the most valuable attributes of the palace: luminosity, generous proportions and noble materials.

✔ 115 m² of usable space

✔ Private terrace of 55 m²

✔ Two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms

✔ Independent kitchen and guest toilet



From the main entrance, the guest is welcomed by a spacious and bright living-dining room, visually connected to the first courtyard and its Roman fountain. The living area features a sofa, armchairs and TV; the dining area, with a table and chairs for four.



The large private terrace, a true jewel of the apartment, invites you to have breakfast outdoors, sunbathe or enjoy the sunset amongst ceramic fountains and views of the convent rooftops. It is equipped with a table, chairs and hammocks.



The independent kitchen, fully equipped, and a courtesy bathroom complete the social area.



Rest area



Through a small hallway you access the two bedrooms, spacious and peaceful:



• Main bedroom: 180×200 cm bed (convertible into two beds), fitted wardrobes and full en suite bathroom.

• Bedroom 2: two single beds of 90×190 cm, spacious wardrobes and en suite bathroom.



The Palace terraces



On the third floor you will find the spectacular set of landscaped terraces and solarium of the palace: an elevated garden with rainfall shower and unforgettable views of the Barrio de la Judería. On this floor you will also find the common laundry room, with washing machine, tumble dryer and individual clotheslines.



The experience



Just 5 minutes from the Cathedral and the Giralda, next to the Madre de Dios convent and steps away from the Barrio de Santa Cruz, Casa Palacio San José offers a privileged immersion in historic, cultural and gastronomic Seville.



The property houses five independent apartments (San José I, II, III, IV and V), with total capacity for 22 guests. It is possible to book several or even the entire complex for groups.



The building has security cameras in the common areas, intended for the security of the facilities. There are no cameras inside the apartments.
