“The 19th-century home of Spanish guitar maestro Manuel Serrapí (better known as Niño Ricardo) has been converted to a hotel by his family with Andalusian style and charm, and they run it themselves. The 11 bedrooms are tastefully decorated in restful colours, with wrought-iron bedsteads and vibrant wallhangings. You can relax outside on the patio or roof terrace, from where there’s a splendid view of the Giralda. Take one of the two top-floor suites, and you get a terrace and the view all to yourselves.”
They say
“This house is a tribute to Niño Ricardo, a tribute to those who love beautiful and simple pleasures of life, a tribute to the great music and, above all, a tribute to those who love Seville.
It was originally the house of the master of the flamenco guitar, Niño Ricardo, and a typical nineteenth-century courtyard which was first rehabilitated and expanded by the master himself in the 60's to subsequently be rehabilitated and adapted by his family to its current use as a Hotel.
The eleven rooms are built around the central courtyard, each one of them with a different decorative motive inspired by songs of the Master... eleven compositions, eleven different stories.
From the courtyard of the Hotel you can access the lounge or the library of the House, where you might enjoy a good read, a good breakfast, a drink or a chat.
On the top floor of the Hotel we have the roof where our guests can let their imagination free... or perhaps have breakfast, dinner, a drink, read a book... but be careful... La Giralda is watching us!”
