Granados Palacio Hotel Boutique

We arrived at the hotel early, and it was closed, no sign of anyone. Tried hotels.com, but they were busy. Phoned the hotel 3 times, answer machine twice, nothing the 3rd time. I know there is a crisis at the moment, but the hotel should have either, phoned, emailed or text us to say they were not opening. I wouldn't have wasted the trip to Ecija. This is really disappointing, hopefully they will return the money I paid for 3 nights.

What a find! We have just completed a 5 night stay in hotel palacio de los granados. This beguiling boutique hotel is set in one of Ecija's many historic mansions. It had a head to toe refurbishment back in 2004 and they took great pains to retain as many of the original features, including 18th century floors, vaulted wooden beamed ceilings and period furniture. The hotel has around 15 rooms, most set around an internal courtyard, where breakfast is served under a glass atrium roof around a centre piece fountain. Of to the right through a lovely sitting room is an external courtyard with a marble plunge pool shaded by numerous pomegranate trees, containing cafe table seating and further accommodations. Our room was in the second floor up a grand marble staircase adorned with period art and statuary. Although we booked a standard double, they were having a quiet week and upgraded us to a grand suite at no extra charge. The charm offensive continued in here with period armoires, and an antique bed frame, reproduction period fabric canopy and curtains. The mattress and bedding thankfully was not antique and very comfortable. The suites sitting area had a comfortable sofa and chairs, a coffee machine and both rooms had air conditioning, and shuttered French windows which helps mitigate the fierce andalusian sunshine. They opened onto the external shaded patio. We also had a lovely bathroom with marble double sinks, power outlets, great shower with constant hot water and pressure. Egyptian cotton towels and robes were also provided. As were extra pillows and Pool towels upon request. We also took the opportunity to. Sneak a look into the many other rooms that were left open for airing (yes, we are those people). They were also lovely, some quirky with mezzanine floors. All finished with the unified period furnishings and charm that permeates the whole palacio. The hotel is staffed 24 hours and Rafa, Ellie, Rique and the rest of the small team were superb. Attentive, accommodating and wonderfully helpful throughout our stay and it felt more like saying goodbye to friends when we checked out. By the end of our 5 days I feel so relaxed I'm not sure I left with my spine intact, I'm certain they’ll send it on. Should they find it. If you’re looking for supremely relaxing holiday in an oasis of calm and uniquely Andalusian charm. Look no further.

One of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed in in Spain, in nearly 20 years - small, characterful, comfortable, quiet and really friendly, very central, and providing a good breakfast. It’s full of artefacts, period furniture, traditional paintings and more, and the central courtyard & dining area, and the patio and small pool behind, are little havens of peace and tranquility. We really appreciated being offered a choice of drinks as we arrived hot from 30+ km of riding the Via Verde on rough terrain - a fresh orange juice was just what we needed. The owner is charming too and told us how he and his partner had spent fifteen years restoring the house to its current state after it had been empty for sixty years. You can just tell it’s a labour of love. Very highly recommended 👍👍.

Omg! This place is unbelievably amazing! The architecture is impressive and the service is amazing! My daughter was in love with the back patio. The pool is kids friendly. The rooms are so clean and comfortable. I couldn’t ask for more!

This is a fabulous hotel which I will remember all my life. Situated in a City between Granada and Seville (Seville is an hour away) this hotel is the jewel in the crown. The welcome we got on arrival was warm and friendly and all the staff in this hotel look after you as if you are royalty. We had a first floor suite with a sitting room, bedroom and a bathroom.. We were taken around the hotel and all the rooms are very well appointed. The decor is wonderful and this old 17 th century building has been modernised with care and flare, having furniture and ornaments which are in keeping. Thai hotel is very comfortable, having a central courtyard with a Moorish fountain as it centre piece, on to which rooms overlook. There is an outside patio with a swimming pool and shady areas to sit. The only downside is the lack of parking at the hotel but we understand that this is being addressed. The is parking some 50 metres down the street and one should not allow this to influence one choice. The hotel is very reasonably priced and is highly recommended.

Beautiful hotel, located in a restored palace in the historic center of Écija, (Andalicía, Spain). Gorgeous architecture and decoration, our favorite spaces were the interior courtyard, and the "sala" (living room). We visited during the holy week, (our first in Spain). The perfect location allowed us to visit the historic churches, and we even participated/witnessed in several of their holy week processions ("pasos," in spanish). The excellent location in the Andalucía region enabled us to visit nearby towns/cities such as Córdoba, Carmona, Sevilla and Setenil de las Bodegas. Excellent value and location. Me, my wife and our friends will definitely be back to continue exploring Écija and its surroudings.
