Waou Palacio Tenorio Santa Cruz

EXPERIENCE SEVILLE FROM WITHIN, IN A SUBLIME ANDALUSIAN PALACE BRIMMING WITH HISTORY, CHARACTER, AND AN UNBEATABLE LOCATION.



Set in the iconic Callejón del Agua, in the heart of the historic Santa Cruz district, this extraordinary 13th-century Sevillian palace, once part of the Royal Alcázar complex, offers a truly unique lodging experience.

Accommodating up to 18 guests, it features 9 elegant en-suite bedrooms that guarantee privacy, comfort, and a refined atmosphere.



From its balconies, windows, and terraces, guests can enjoy privileged views of the Alcázar gardens—a setting so immersive, it feels like living inside the royal gardens, yet with the intimacy of a private noble home.



At the center of the house lies a spectacular courtyard with arches and columns, bathed in natural light and lush greenery, considered one of the most colorful and photographed in Seville. Extending from this space, the rooftop reveals a private terrace adorned with flowers, outdoor furniture, and a traditional Andalusian plunge basin, perfect for relaxing at sunset with the city at your feet.



This historic residence once hosted Washington Irving, who lived here while writing Tales of the Alhambra. A sculptural tribute by renowned artist Mariano Benlliure still graces the battlemented façade, enriching the property with cultural and literary significance.



Inside, the palace has been carefully restored, blending antiques, personal artifacts, and contemporary artworks by its owner, the Marquesa de Tenorio, with modern-day comforts. Each room is equipped with air conditioning, heating, colonial-style ceiling fans, and internet access. Guests enjoy the privacy and charm of a magnificent residence, far removed from the impersonality of any hotel.





🛎️ Included service – Personalized attention & daily breakfast



The palace includes dedicated service. A trusted couple, residing discreetly in the service area, personally welcomes guests and remains available throughout their stay.



Each morning, they prepare a homemade breakfast with local products and are happy to assist with anything needed: local recommendations, logistical help, or simply ensuring everything runs perfectly — always with discretion, professionalism, and warmth.

Waou Palacio Tenorio Santa Cruz offers its guests a garden, laundry facilities, and a lift. The front desk is open around the clock.
