Booking tips
- We’d book early for spring. March to May and October sell out first, and prices rise as the date approaches.
- We recommend free cancellation, then check the price again a few weeks before your trip.
- Semana Santa and the Feria often have minimum stays and double prices. Book months ahead.
- We’d ask for an upper floor in old houses: rooms on the patio can be dark and noisy.
- A pool matters from June to September. See hotels with a pool.
