CASA@ENCINA House Yard in Old Town VFT/SE/00719 Overview

First Impressions

Walking down the narrow cobblestone streets of Seville’s Old Town, you might almost miss CASA@ENCINA House Yard in Old Town VFT/SE/00719 tucked away on Calle Juan de la Encina — but that’s exactly what makes it special. This isn’t your typical hotel experience, honestly. It’s more like staying in a beautifully restored Sevillian house that happens to welcome guests, complete with that traditional Andalusian courtyard (or “yard” as they call it) that becomes your own private retreat in the middle of one of Spain’s most enchanting neighborhoods.

Location & Neighborhood

I mean, you really can’t get more central than this — the location score of 9.2 isn’t just marketing fluff. You’re literally steps away from the Cathedral and Giralda, and the Alcázar is practically around the corner. What I love about this spot is that you’re on a quieter residential street, so you get that authentic local feel without the constant tourist foot traffic. The narrow streets here are lined with orange trees (you know what, the scent in spring is incredible), and there’s something magical about wandering back to your place after dinner, past the glowing streetlights and wrought-iron balconies.

The Space

The house itself feels authentically Sevillian — think traditional tiles, whitewashed walls, and that gorgeous interior courtyard that becomes your personal oasis. It’s not massive, but it’s thoughtfully designed with all the character details intact. The rooms have that perfect balance of old-world charm and modern comfort, though don’t expect five-star hotel amenities here. What you get instead is something more intimate and personal, like staying at a well-traveled friend’s place who has impeccable taste and knows how to make guests feel at home.

The Experience

There’s something really special about having your morning coffee in that central courtyard — it’s like having your own private plaza while the city wakes up around you. The whole setup works particularly well for couples (which explains why they rate it so highly), since you get privacy and romance without feeling isolated from the city’s energy. You can hear the gentle sounds of neighborhood life — church bells, distant flamenco guitar, the clip-clop of horse carriages — but you’re tucked away in your own peaceful corner of Old Town.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets CASA@ENCINA apart is that authentic Seville experience you can’t get at larger hotels. You’re staying in a real neighborhood where locals still hang laundry from their balconies and chat with neighbors in the street. The combination of that unbeatable location with the intimate, house-like atmosphere creates something pretty special — you feel like a temporary resident rather than just another tourist. Plus, when you’re this close to everything that matters in Seville, you can easily duck back for an afternoon siesta (which, trust me, you’ll want to do) before heading out for tapas and evening strolls.

Apartments in Seville suit remote creatives with sun-drenched lofts, fiber Wi-Fi, and shared rooftop herb gardens.

Reviews of CASA@ENCINA House Yard in Old Town VFT/SE/00719

• Xavier from France – 12 April 2025 (8/10)

  Très bien situé, propre et décoration très agréable. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour.
  Dommage qu'il y ait eu des odeurs d'égout dans la salle de bain et la courette.
  L'isolation est très faible mais nous n'avons pas été dérangés la nuit.
  Un mini four serait un plus.

  Très bien situé à quelques minutes de marche des sites touristiques à découvrir. Appartement calme .

• Eustak from Spain – 2 November 2024 (9/10)

  El sitio es excelente. Un apartamento acogedor, buena ubicación y Juanfran como anfitrión siempre pendiente. Nos dio dos accesos al alojamiento para darnos a mi amiga y a mí una mayor independencia a la hora de entrar y salir.
  
  What could be improved: Todo perfecto.

• Lucie from France – 26 May 2024 (9/10)

  For the price, the accommodation is really good.
  We enjoyed our stay, and the owners were nice, communication was easy.
  The place was clean and tidy.
  
  Overall, we really appreciated the place !
  
  What could be improved: Concerning the location; it is in a residential neighbourhood, it is not IN the center, but it is 15-20 minutes away from the touristic places.
  However, the walls are quite thin and you can hear the outside noise, as well as the neighbours.

• Aldo from Italy – 7 April 2024 (8/10)

  La casa è carina ed accogliente situata in una zona tranquilla. Rispetto alle temperature esterne molto fresca (aprile). Ottima posizione per raggiungere a piedi le attrazioni turistiche della città. La cucina è attrezzata anche se sarebbe apprezzabile se ci fossero delle tazzine da caffè espresso e uno strofinaccio in più. Inoltre abbiamo gradito il gesto gentile dell'host che ci ha offerto una bottiglia di vino al nostro arrivo.
  
  What could be improved: Purtroppo, forse perché la casa ubicata a pian terreno, al mattino in bagno si sentiva cattivo odore.

• Francisco from Spain – 9 April 2023 (7/10)

  What could be improved: las camas muy baja caridad sonaban al moverse y sobraba ciclón de muelles por los lados
