Apartments in Seville -- Low-Cost Rentals

The capital of flamboyant flamenco, Seville is a traditional Spanish city in the south of the country. Boasting a backdrop of charming Andalusian design flecked with Moorish castles and Roman fortresses, it effortlessly combines style and personality.

It dances with jovial music and houses hundreds of cosy haunts that are bastion of Spanish culture and tradition thanks to its part in the birth of flamenco. But it's modern, too, with an array of contemporary cafes, quirky art galleries, and lush boutique stores dotted along the rustic old streets. The city has lots to explore, so pick a good base with one of our apartments in Seville, ranging from affordable studios tucked down winding alleyways to short term flats overlooking the terracotta roofs.

Finding the Flamenco Scene in Seville

Seville is known as the birthplace of traditional Spanish flamenco, a flurry of colours, sounds, and dance that make for the perfect evening viewing. Throughout the city you'll find a huge selection of bars, restaurants, cafes, and performance halls that put on regular flamenco shows, highlighting classic performers as well as up and coming stars. If you want to get into the spirit of it and try some flamenco yourself (why wouldn't you?!), then head to the Museo del Flamenco where you can watch dancers swing their stuff in an intimate space and get involved yourself.

If you're looking to just watch, though, then you can pretty much find a place on every corner. Try one of the peñas, where you can stand up and feel the rhythm rather than tap along through a sit-down show. The ambiance is much livelier and intimate -- head to La Carboneria or Casa de la Memoria de Al-Andalus for great experiences.

After dancing the night away flamenco-style, make sure you book one of our great affordable flats or apartments in Seville to get a good night's sleep.

Seville Accommodation

The flamenco capital of Spain is as lively with its accommodation as it is with its nightlife and evening performances. Colourful boutique hotels form a large part of Seville accommodation, but there are plenty of traditional places to stay, too. Old Moorish buildings carve out pretty guesthouses flanked with climbing plants and old courtyards, whilst rustic apartment blocks dive straight into fairy tale Spanish scenes that are perfectly accompanied with cold sangria on the balcony. Elsewhere, the nightlife-loving crowd make do with comfortable hostels, and the luxury travellers bed down in sumptuous hotels.
