Hacienda de San Rafael Hacienda de San Rafael

Halfway between Seville and Jerez stands a whitewashed hacienda brimming with hospitality. The exclusive Hacienda de San Rafael balances rustic charm with modern sophistication.

Your luxury accommodation at Hacienda de San Rafael is like the hub of a wheel, along whose spokes you'll find Jerez, Seville, and the famed "white towns" of Andalusia. Once a thriving olive estate, everything is done with a smile and a "de nada," from the breakfast on your bedroom veranda to bespoke excursions. The bird watching in the Coto Doñana National Park is unparalleled, and leaving before you visit one of the family-owned sherry bodegas is inexcusable.

The eleven duplex rooms and three Casitas of Hacienda de San Rafael have been individually decorated to encapsulate a rustic extravagance. The exposed beam ceilings and the cool grotto-like shower in dark stone and slate call to mind a romantic Andalusian fable.

In true Spanish form, guests often meet in the bar for an aperitif before proceeding to the bougainvillea-filled courtyard for a dining experience under the stars featuring local cuisine. The setting is soothingly romantic, with candles everywhere and soft music wafting across the grounds.
