CASA PALACIO SAN JOSÉ I The Count's House
A journey to Sevillian Baroque splendour
Home at Homes invites you to experience an absolutely unique moment: inhabiting a 17th-century palatial house, masterfully restored by Rafael Manzano, one of the great classical architects of our time and responsible for icons such as the Royal Alcázares complex or the Alfonso XIII Hotel.
Located in the heart of the historic centre 5 minutes from the Cathedral and the Giralda the property occupies over 1,000 m² and combines heritage, craftsmanship and contemporary comfort. The entrance on Calle San José 7, with its imposing wooden doors and original ironwork, anticipates the monumental character of the interior.
The building: living history
A grand porticoed courtyard with Roman marble columns, fountains, porticoed rooms, galleries and lush terraces configure a unique environment. Inside, an authentic exhibition of craftsmanship: coffered ceilings, noble woodwork, classic tilework, baroque mouldings and an exceptional collection of furniture and antiques selected by the owners.
Access to the apartment is made from an elegant vestibule that leads to the main courtyard and the imposing flight of stairs (or lift) that ascends to the principal floor.
The Apartment (330 m²)
The first complete floor of the palace houses Casa Palacio San José I, also called The Count's House: a sumptuous three-bedroom apartment that preserves its original layout and baroque essence.
Social zones
First lounge with game table, piano, reading area and TV
Spectacular dining room with Bohemian crystal lamp and table for 12–22 diners
Large living room-library, the jewel of the apartment, with three balconies overlooking the street and natural light throughout the day: the best imaginable box seat to watch Holy Week
Kitchen and private area
In the left wing, you will find the spacious fully equipped kitchen and the rest area:

The terraces of the Palace
On the third floor, the common terraces await: an elevated garden in the heart of the centre, perfect for breakfast outdoors, resting at sunset or sunbathing in the solarium with a rain shower. From here, spectacular views of the Santa Cruz Neighbourhood and its bell towers can be enjoyed.
In this building, there is also a communal laundry room, with a washing machine, dryer, and individual drying lines for each apartment.
