Halfway between Seville and Córdoba, in the Guadalquivir Valley, is this 15th century Franciscan Monastery converted into a Destino Hotel. Wake up with the aroma of orange blossom and freshly squeezed orange juice, lose yourself in its patios and organic garden, enjoy Hortus Restaurant in the Chapter House of the Monastery or Cordoban tapas on the terrace and bar, cool off in its large garden pool and Live experiences that exalt Andalusian beauty both inside and outside its centuries-old walls. For people who want to enjoy the meaning of the good life, with countless corners surrounded by views that invite peace and contemplation. If you choose a Deluxe room you will have exclusive access to the Bishop Room, where you will find a large library, Honesty bar, Smart TV, billiards and a comfortable area designed for working, alone or in a team, full of natural light and overlooking a large patio. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, 50 minutes from Córdoba and 1 hour from Seville by car, you can also arrive by train with a long schedule throughout every day.
