The Hacienda Posada de Vallina is a 17th-century manor house in the Judería, and it still reads that way. Exposed stone walls, centuries-old vaulted ceilings, and a patio where a fountain runs through the morning — these are not reconstructions. The carved coat of arms above the entrance portal belonged to the merchant family who originally owned the property, the ones who traded with the Americas.
The Rooms
Every room is distinct. Some have exposed beams, others carry 18th-century azulejos or antique-sourced furniture. A few suites have small private terraces over the patio. The whole effect is a Córdoban family house that has been lived in across generations — without the formality of a museum.
Continental breakfast is included and served either in the flower-filled patio or in the historic dining room, whose thick stone walls keep it cool even in high summer.
The Neighbourhood
The Roman Bridge and the Guadalquivir are just metres away, which means pleasant riverside walks in the early morning before the heat sets in. The Mezquita-Catedral is 3 minutes on foot. The Hammam Al Andalus is on the same street. The Calleja de las Flores is 2 minutes away, and Casa Pepe de la Judería is 100 metres for dinner.
For couples who want more exclusivity, the Patio del Posadero is adults-only with 6 rooms and an on-site gourmet restaurant. La Llave de la Judería offers good value across 9 rooms in three interconnected townhouses, with an orange-tree patio, from €62/night.
