Ten individually styled rooms, including a tower suite with 360º panoramic views and a spacious family suite, are each designed with their own story—featuring marble bathrooms, organic Andalusian amenities, and thoughtful touches like private terraces and accessibility features. Here, every detail is curated to feel deeply personal and effortlessly luxurious.

Location:

Nestled in the fertile plains of the Guadalquivir River, the charming town of Lora del Río offers an authentic slice of Andalucian life, untouched by time yet wonderfully accessible. With its whitewashed streets, local markets, and traditional tapas bars, this town invites visitors to slow down and embrace the rhythm of southern Spain. Palacio Catalina sits quietly within this historic town, just a leisurely 15-minute walk from the local train station—making it perfectly placed for both seclusion and exploration.


From Lora del Río, guests can easily reach some of Andalusia’s most celebrated cities. Seville, with its vibrant energy, Moorish architecture, and flamenco spirit, is just an hour away by train or car. Córdoba—renowned for its Mezquita, cobbled Jewish Quarter, and elegant patios—is similarly just an hour away and a must-see to experience Andalucia. The owner is happy to help organise your travel to both places and can even organise day trips, tours, and activities for when you're there! Whether you're drawn to cultural treasures, countryside charm, or simply the art of doing nothing, Palacio Catalina's location offers the best of all worlds.
