Hotel La Casa del Maestro

A little character hotel in Sevilla

---

La Casa del Maestro is a small hotel, full of charm and joy, situated right in the centre of Sevilla. It was once the home of the renowned "maestro" of flamenco guitar, "Niño Ricardo"; hence the name.

The original part of the house dates from the 19th century, and the top floor and roof terrace were added in 1919. According to the stories in Seville, the house and its next door "twin", was built by a wealthy gentleman for his two illegitimate sons.

The conversion to a hotel took place in 2000, although it was found that very little had to be done to adapt the house to its new role in life. The restorers were able to retain all the little idiosyncrasies that belong to a house of this period and to lose none of the spirit of the original house. The façade is exactly as it always was, now with the balconies decorated with geraniums in typical Seville fashion. Just to the right of the big wooden entrance door is a small plaque placed by the local flamenco society in honour of the past incumbent. Inside the front door a hallway runs right through the building decorated with flowers and plants, to the patio at the end.

On each little landing of the staircase there is a glazed niche containing the decorated tunic of a Spanish bullfighter. Upstairs, all of the 11 guest rooms are ranged around the patio, a place of clear natural light, allowing visitors to appreciate the original wooden beams, the banisters, the lamps, the beautiful wooden doors and windows, the stucco walls and the spectacular mosaic floor in greens and yellows that runs right through the public spaces of the hotel.

Then right at the top of the house, the roof terrace looks out across the centre of the city and the most important sights such as the Giralda and El Salvador. You are specially recommended to go up at dusk when you will see the splendid city laid out before you.

For guests who are seeking more space and a little more independence, the nearby Suites del Maestro is newly opened in 2007.
