Hotel Villa Jerez

Staying at this villa north of the old town offers a taste of old-style sherry aristocracy. Spacious, light-filled guestrooms look out onto palm-treed gardens and a large swimming pool. The décor is elegantly traditional, with pale walls, classic wood furniture, and wrought-iron balconies. Budget rooms are in a separate, smaller building. The hotel is well plugged into the sherry trade, arranging tastings in the restaurant and private tours of the bodegas for guests. The only drawback is the 25-minute walk to Plaza del Arenal, although horse-lovers will be glad to know the Real Escuela is just around the corner.
