Years ago in the early 90's we stayed at the Casa DeCarmona. It was undoubtedly one of the most romantic, well-run, fabulous places we ever stayed at. It is a manor house that is more like a private home. Our room was a duplex and when we looked upstairs to see our gorgeous room w/ wonderful bath, we returned to the well- appointed living room to find oranges on china, with knives and stemware with a bottle of Perrier awaiting us. Everything was done 1st class. I understand that it is expensive now but it's about 20 min drive from Seville and the town is charming. It might be worth a splurge if it's not too, too over the top. http://www.casadecarmona.com/index_en.html
