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" and now stands as a tribute to the great man, his love of life and his love of Seville.
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", were built by a wealthy gentleman for his two illegitimate sons. When Casa del Maestro was converted to its new role as a hotel, the restorers were able to retain all the little idiosyncrasies that belong to 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. Each room is different, inspired by eleven different musical compositions of the Master, such as "Feeling of Sacromonte", "Land Mine" or "The Emigrant".
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. It's a special sensation to recline in a hammoch there, sipping a drink and either enjoying the sun or taking in the warmth and beauty of the evening.

Reviews
Reviews from Little Hotels Travellers:
| We had a lovely time in Seville. The hotel was all we hoped for. |
| We had a wonderful time and La Casa del Maestro was everything I had hoped for. I would recommend it to anyone.

Have just returned from a wonderful 4 days in Seville staying in the above hotel. This is the second 'little hotels' we have stayed in, the first being in Palma Majorca, and it didn't disappoint. The accomodation was comfortable and stylish with lots of character. The service was excellent and delivered with a smile and enhanced with attention to detail such as a jug of ice cold water by the bed each night. The transfer service to and from the airport was also excellent and cheaper than airport taxis at 25 Euros regardless of how many passengers (max 4 people).
The only small criticism would be the manky old mattress that had been dumped in the alley outside the entrance to the hotel (not I am sure by hotel staff). It was there when we arrived on Monday and was still there when we left on Friday. It made the access to the hotel look scruffy and unattractive and was somewhat offputting.
However Seville is a great place for a break and this hotel was an excellent base. |
Just to say we enjoyed our stay and would return to the hotel.
Our room was small but lovely ( Gadintanis) we were happy with it (..loved the balcony.) small table to put a few things down on maybe..

Just to say, thanks for arranging the Seville Hotel - Seville is lovely! although we do have a couple of points which may help future visitors to the Hotel.
CANNOT FAULT the service, very good. But, it is not very welcoming to arrive after a long journey and see a small alleyway with walls covered in graffiti!!! We know we were in the heart of the city, but if the hotel is setting its own good standards, surely they might have a think of the first impression guests might have?!
The only other thing was the breakfast - first morning was appalling! The problem was resolved the following days with more choice - i.e. cereal, meat, cheese. We had read about their Delicious Breakfast in the hotel website and were a bit surprised!!
We had great service though, all the time, and we even had a bottle of champagne in our room on the 7th - our anniversary - we think for a gesture for the TV not working?!
So we will be back to Seville at some point soon, but maybe will try the Suites instead? or have you anymore accommodation there? |
| Just to let you we very much enjoyed our recent stay at this hotel, booked by you. Beautiful hotel, very comfortable bed, helpful and friendly staff in a good location for sight-seeing and restaurants. |

We Say
This delightful little hotel is ideally situated in the centre of the old town, giving easy access to all the sights of Seville. A phenomenal place to visit for the Easter celebrations or the Seville Fair. Even when it's hot in summer, you can return to the cool relaxation of the hotel and its patio.
A Word from the Owner
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!!!
