Wonderful hotel inside the walls, very close to the main shopping streets and sights. Beautiful, first floor rooms and suites (only six in all). Really friendly, helpful staff and the best breakfast anywhere (the coffee is superb.) Really should be better known.

Excellent Italian restaurant on Calle Matteos Gago. Two standout dishes - pasta with Italian sausage, cream and nutmeg (sounds dull, tastes of heaven - think it's the nutmeg) and a salad of strawberries, walnuts and goat's cheese. Much, much better than the (now) dreadful place in the Arab bathhouse who get you in and out REALLY fast and feed you nothing very special in, admittedly, wonderful surroundings. Go to L'Oca Giuliva instead. Friendly (although not quick) service. If you want to eat outside, go early.
Calle Matteos Gago (in Barrio Santa Cruz, leading down to the Cathedral/Giralda/Alcazar.
