Hotel Hacienda Posada de Vallina

Córdoba


In an enviable nook on the quiet side of the Mezquita, this cleverly renovated hotel uses portraits and period-style furniture to enhance a plush and modern interior. There are two levels overlooking a salubrious patio, and the medium-sized rooms, with gleaming bathrooms, feel comfortable but in-period (ie medieval Córdoba). Rooms upstairs are a bit airier. Columbus allegedly stayed here.
