Espectacular Ático Duplex – terraza Plaza del Salvador

Hotel Description

Okay, so I stumbled across this duplex apartment on Calle Cuna basically by accident – was looking for something near the cathedral but not right in the tourist chaos, you know? And honestly, this place totally exceeded what I was expecting from the photos. The “Espectacular Ático Duplex” name sounds a bit dramatic, but once you’re up on that terrace overlooking Plaza del Salvador… well, I get why they went with it.

The location is actually perfect if you want to feel like you’re living in Sevilla rather than just visiting. Calle Cuna is this narrow street that locals use as a shortcut between the main shopping area and the cathedral quarter, so you get this constant gentle buzz of real city life without the tour groups camping outside your door. The plaza right there – Plaza del Salvador – that’s where sevillanos actually hang out, especially in the evenings when the church bells are ringing and people are having their pre-dinner drinks. I mean, you’re literally a three-minute walk from the cathedral, but it feels completely different. More authentic, I guess.

What really got me about this place was the terrace situation. The apartment itself is nice – clean, well-equipped, clearly maintained by someone who cares about the details – but that outdoor space is something else. You’ve got this elevated view over the old town rooftops, and in the evening when the light hits those orange tiles and church towers… honestly, it’s the kind of view that makes you understand why people fall in love with this city. The terrace is big enough to actually use, too – not just a tiny balcony where you can barely fit a chair. I spent most mornings up there with coffee, watching the neighborhood wake up below.

Practically speaking, a few things worth mentioning: the duplex layout means you’ve got proper separation between sleeping and living areas, which is great if you’re traveling with someone whose schedule doesn’t match yours. The kitchen actually has everything you need if you want to hit the Mercado de la Encarnación (five minutes away) and cook something. And – this matters in Sevilla’s old town – it’s surprisingly quiet at night. I was worried about noise since you’re right in the center, but the way the building sits, you don’t get the late-night bar crowds that some streets deal with.

Check-in was straightforward, parking… well, you’re in old town Sevilla, so forget about parking right outside, but there’s a public garage about a ten-minute walk away if you absolutely need a car. Honestly though, once you’re here, everything’s walkable. The 9.5 rating makes sense – I’ve stayed in a lot of places that charge twice as much and deliver half the experience. It’s one of those spots where someone clearly thought about what travelers actually want rather than just checking boxes on an amenities list.

• Anoymous from United Kingdom – 25 May 2025 (10/10)

  The location was the best! The terrace is really spacious and well furnished with sun shades and a wonderful view of the cafes below. A great place to eat or sit and watch life unfold in the square. The kitchen was well equipped. Sofa was comfy. The main bedroom was very peaceful.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing.

• Veronica from United States – 10 May 2025 (9/10)

  The location of the property is excellent
  
  What could be improved: There was an awful drainage smell from the master bathroom. And the bed being so close to the bathroom door made it worse. We use the spare bathroom.

• Dillon from United Kingdom – 27 March 2025 (10/10)

  Beautiful property in a wonderful location. Felt very lucky to be staying there. I have mobility issues so the wonderful lift going straight into the apartment was a godsend.
  Very comfortable beds and a small well equipped kitchen and nice big dining table. Big TV. 3 shower rooms and plenty of hot water. And a gorgeous roof terrace looking over the busy plaza.
  Ideally situated near to fantastic shops and restaurants. Only 5 minutes to the Cathedral

• Anonymous from United Arab Emirates – 9 June 2025 (9/10)

  Amazing location, within walkable distance to the major tourist attractions in the city. Despite the apartment being located in Plaza El Salvador, it was surprisingly not too noisy, unless there is an early morning ceremony at the Church located 20meters away. The view from the balcony is the best in the plaza. Would recommend for anyone who wants to be located within +/- 10 mins from Cathedral & Girlada, Real Alcazar, Casa de Pillatos and just the city centre.
  
  What could be improved: It is difficult to get a SIM card in Seville, so I would advise travelers to get an eSIM although the downside is that you don't get the local number. I say this because I didn't get one beforehand so I couldn't get a hold of the host who was meeting me to let me into the apartment. This was a small inconvenience so maybe next time you can provide guests with the Wifi password or the code to the door in case of such situations

• Alice from Netherlands – 19 April 2025 (10/10)

  Volledig ingerichte keuken met alle apparatuur, vaatwasser en wasmachine. Goed bed en top sanitair (3 badkamers).
  Fantastisch terras met uitzicht over het Salvadore plein. Zeer centraal gelegen in het centrum, alle bezienswaardigheden op loopafstand. In het appartement geen straatoverlast. Veilige binnenkomst met eigen opgang via kleine trap of privé lift, uitkomend in het appartement. Vriendelijke, behulpzame host.
  
  What could be improved: Niets.

• Helena from Spain – 14 April 2025 (10/10)

  No encuentro palabras para describir lo que nos ha gustado el apartamento. Lleno de luz (A pesar de la lluvia) y con unas vistas preciosas a la plaza. Por dentro está totalmente equipado y el ascensor de te deja dentro del apartamento, lo que nos ha encantado. Mención a parte merece la terraza, hicimos una cena allí y es como si estuvieses en la sala VIp de uno de los restaurantes de la plaza. ¡Todo increible!
  
  What could be improved: Del alojamiento no tengo nada que decir. Nos hizo muy mal tiempo.

• Beatriz from Spain – 14 April 2025 (10/10)

  Tuvimos la oportunidad de pasar una noche en este apartamento y fue toda una suerte. La ubicación del apartamento es inmejorable. Totalmente exterior a la plaza del Salvador, en el mejor sitio de Sevilla. No sabemos si hay una ubicación mejor. Además de ser muy cómodo y encontrarse en unas excelentes condiciones, tiene una terraza espectacular en el segundo piso en la que hemos pasado la mayoría del tiempo. Creo que hemos sido unos privilegiados.
  Hacer mención especial del equipo de Luxme. Nos han recibido personalmente y nos han tratado con una amabilidad y cercanía que nos ha hecho sentirnos como en casa. Una experiencia de 10.
