Located near Seville's bohemian beatnik's party scene in La Alameda, the Patio de la Alameda is is a Miami-like apartment complex rated with 3 keys (the maximum is 4). It makes the perfect solution for backpackers, singles, couples, or groups staying more than a few nights who have good taste and bad spending complexes. Plus, they offer single rates—rare for an apartment room in this city, and thus a great find for the lonesome traveler.
The actual building, like everywhere else in Seville, is an old palace. What's special about this place, however, is that a famous sculptor, dubbed Susillo, once lived here.
An "apartahotel," the Patio offers rooms with a full kitchen, a refrigerator (none of that minibar nonsense), and all the cooking utensils a non-artisan chef needs to whip up some grub on the skinny.
The place looks, smells, and feels like vacation; 21 apartments overlook a bright, flower-filled interior patio. Rooms, reminiscent of "The Golden Girls" are a bit outdated with floral patterns, pastels, and faux bamboo décor. Minimal amenities include a satellite television, but, to our utter dismay, no Internet access. Also, the plaza is going under major construction, so reserving an interior room is imperative.
