Hotel Hacienda Posada de Vallina, Córdoba
Charming hotel with a picturesque courtyard next to the Mezquita-Catedral
Overview
Pros
- The location is tough to beat, as the hotel is across the street from the Mezquita-Catedral and around the corner from Puente Romano.
- You can easily walk to nearly all the city sites, including the Córdoba Synagogue and Plaza de la Corredera.
- Set in a house from the Middle Ages, the same builders who erected the city's Mosque also constructed this historic home.
- There are plenty of historical elements to enjoy: some rooms have iron balconies with views, stone archways, and wood-beamed or coffered ceilings; the courtyard has brick archways, a glass ceiling, and greenery; and the grand lobby channels the building's past with a medieval chandelier, large murals, and arched ceilings.
- The onsite café offers drinks and light snacks, both sweet and savory.
- The rooms are a little plain with basic furnishings.
- There's no breakfast service offered at the hotel.
Kimkim's Take
Authenticity
The hotel transformed a medieval building constructed by those who built the neighboring mosque. You'll see hints of the Middle Ages, especially in the hotel's grand lobby with a large mural, chandelier, and beautiful inner courtyard.Location
You'll find Hotel Posada de Vallina directly across the street from the Mezquita-Catedral and around the corner from the Puente Romano. You can easily walk to the city's other sites, such as the Córdoba Synagogue and Plaza de la Corredera, in no more than 10 minutes.Rooms & Bathrooms
Despite the historic appeal of the building with its grand lobby, the rooms feel left behind with fairly basic furnishings. All come with simple yet clean and modern bathrooms, plus a double bed, though families can request a triple room. Still, you can enjoy a few historical elements here and there, including wooden furniture and stone archways above the beds.Other Highlights
You can't help but notice the building's history when spending time in the lavish lobby or the beautiful courtyard with brick walls, leafy greenery, and glass ceilings. Though the hotel doesn't serve breakfast, there's a café with coffee, drinks, and small snacks right on the property.Like what you see?
