A 300-year-old former olive farm, the Hacienda de San Rafael is among the ancient treasures of Andalusia. This picturesque sanctuary, tucked between Seville and Jerez in southwest Spain, gazes across the tranquil Andalusian Plains. Its 11 en suite bedrooms and trio of freestanding casitas capture the regionâ€(TM)s elegantly rustic flavor and stunning beauty. Mornings begin with breakfast served on the veranda, while the garden and pools entice throughout the day. And at night, al fresco dining features tantalizing dishes crafted by the haciendaâ€(TM)s chef.

It's rare, almost impossible, to find the kind of hospitality we were recently lucky enough to experience at the Hacienda de San Rafael. From the moment we arrived (very late...) we experienced nothing but warmth, generosity and the very best kind of service. From accommodating our late arrival (a candlelit supper in the courtyard at midnight) to sunset drinks on the terrace to Anthony's infectious charm, we were truly welcomed like guests and left like old friends. It is the most perfect spot for a few days of rest and peace, only 45 minutes from Seville and within easy acess of Cadiz or Jerez for a day trip. The food is exceptional, the setting magical and the service faultless. The Hacienda is genuinely unique – don't think twice, just go!

We returned to this absolutely Magical and Unique Hacienda for the fourth time , which says it all. From the moment you arrive, your shoulders drop and you feel so relaxed and in the most special and wonderful place. One doesn’t even feel guilty about doing so little other than enjoying swimming to the sound of the doves singing, a daily stroll to the cotton fields and being so well looked after my Anthony Reid and his completely amazing staff. Just to mention a few, Fina, Monica, Pilly, Eva, Chari, Juani and ALL the rest. The food is so fresh and absolutely delicious, not to mention the superb collection of wines. Lunch can be anywhere you want to have it and dinner is in a different and stunning, candle lit place every evening. We are just home and already looking to book our return next year. The best place to unwind in the World.

We were thrilled to find that the Hacienda was in such good hands and was as excellent as we remembered from previous visits in 2004 and 2006. The younger generation have taken over running the hotel but retained its quality and wonderful staff.

The Hacienda San Rafael is a beautiful rural hotel set on farmland with wonderful hospitality. Delightful food, and many personal touches to create the perfect stay. We were looked after from the moment we arrived. Rooms are traditional. Beds extremely comfortable. Breakfast is set outside your room on a terrace. Dinner outside with a different view each evening. Food is exceptionally fresh with delicious salads available at lunch time. Honestly a wonderful experience Thankyou to Isabella Anthony and all your staff
