CASA PALACIO SAN JOSÉ III — La casa de la hija de la Giralda



Light, history and a large private terrace in the monumental heart of Seville



At Home at Homes we seek extraordinary places that combine the charm of the past with contemporary comfort. This is how we came across Casa Palacio San José, a majestic 17th-century residence, restored with exquisite rigour by Rafael Manzano, architect responsible for interventions in the Royal Alcázares and the Alfonso XIII Hotel. The result: a palatial house that preserves its baroque soul and offers all current comforts.



San José III is one of the five apartments in the complex, a bright home designed for four guests, affectionately known as The House of the Daughter of the Giralda, in honour of Bárbara de Santo Domingo, a Dominican nun born here in the 19th century.



The building



Access via San José Street 7 leads to the imposing hallway with a large wrought-iron gate, to the first courtyard and an open hall that gives way to the main porticoed courtyard, with Roman marble columns, fountains and lush terraces with pergolas.



Inside, an authentic exhibition of artisan crafts: classic ceramics, noble carpentry, coffered ceilings and plaster mouldings that envelop each room in a unique atmosphere.



The apartment (115 m² + private terrace of 55 m²)



Located on the second floor, it preserves the most valuable attributes of the palace: luminosity, generous proportions and noble materials.

✔ 115 m² usable

✔ Private terrace of 55 m²

✔ Two bedrooms with en-suite bathroom

✔ Independent kitchen and courtesy toilet



From the main entrance, the guest is received by a spacious and light-filled dining room, visually connected to the first courtyard and its Roman fountain. The living area features a sofa, armchairs, and TV; the dining area has a table and chairs for four.



The large private terrace, an authentic jewel of the apartment, invites you to have breakfast outdoors, sunbathe or enjoy the sunset among ceramic fountains and views of the convent rooftops. It is equipped with a table, chairs and loungers.



The independent kitchen, fully equipped, and a courtesy toilet complete the social area.



Rest area



Through a small distributor, access is gained to the two bedrooms, spacious and tranquil:



• Master bedroom: 180×200 cm bed (convertible into two beds), built-in wardrobes and full en-suite bathroom.

• Bedroom 2: two single beds of 90×190 cm, spacious wardrobes and en-suite bathroom.



The terraces of the Palace



On the third floor is the spectacular set of garden terraces and solarium of the palace: an elevated garden with a rain shower and unforgettable views of the Jewish Quarter. On this floor, the common laundry room is also located, with a washing machine, dryer, and individual clotheslines.



The experience



Just 5 minutes from the Cathedral and the Giralda, next to the Madre de Dios convent and steps away from the Santa Cruz neighbourhood, Casa Palacio San José offers a privileged immersion in historic, cultural, and gastronomic Seville.



The property houses five independent apartments (San José I, II, III, IV and V), with a total capacity for 22 guests. There is the possibility of booking several or even the entire complex for groups.
