Have you Heard of our kit for the babies? We include a cot, a high chair and a baby bath for the youngest of our Home at Homes guests.

We are Home At Homes, your go-to specialists in luxury short-term rentals, and we have just renewed our website. We hope you will find it more modern, more intuitive and with greater flexibility: in short, more user-friendly. We are changing it just for you, to ensure our services are even easier to access.

It’s not just us saying it (though we do too), but a true expert in the world of tourism, Lonely Planet. This almost legendary travel guide has chosen Seville as the best city in the world to visit in 2018. Yet another endorsement to back up the tourism boost this Andalusian capital city is experiencing over the past few years, evidenced by the millions of tourists who come here looking for tradition, innovation and culture in one place.

Over the last few years, Christmas has become established as one of the favourite times of the year for travelling. And not just to visit family or return home from abroad. European cities dress up in December with spectacular Christmas lighting, activities for all and a bustling environment driven by typical Christmas shopping. In Spain, where temperatures are a lot milder than in other continental destinations, two cities stand out among the rest for their leisure opportunities and the beauty of their decorated streets. Read on to see why you should visit Madrid and Seville this Christmas!

A new season has just begun: autumn is here! A season in which cities like Madrid and Seville take on a special relevance. With temperatures still warm and skies that intensify light and beauty, this is the perfect time to visit. The same sky, yet different, unparalleled.

Travelling has, in most cases, become something that is decided and planned well in advance. Leaving little space for something as important as that sense of adventure, of surprise, discovery, so intimately linked to the act of travelling itself.

When going on a trip, one of the issues to which people are attaching increasing importance is planning. Destination, accommodation and cost are important, and this makes planning crucial. The holiday period is one of the times of the year that avid travellers look forward to most. Can I get more affordable prices? Better accommodation? More attractive locations? The answer is yes… if you plan your trip well in advance.

Talk of summer usually brings to mind pictures of beaches, sun loungers by the sea, refreshing cocktails. But if in addition to rest and relaxation you want to experience a summer with a difference, Seville has everything you’re looking for.

True, Seville has no beach, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your summer holidays in the city. So here are our suggestions for ten fun and refreshing plans for summer in Seville.

Travelling is a passion which only those who share it can understand. It can come upon us at any time in life, a sudden glimmer of light in our minds which awakens the feeling. The urge to travel can hit us anywhere: in a bar, in a park or in the office. And so the search for destinations, flights and prices begins, the search for happiness and comfort.

No hotel

Do you know what makes our services different from those of a hotel? Hotels are everywhere. But had you ever before imagined staying just opposite Madrid’s Royal Palace, or next to the Plaza de España in Seville? Or stepping out onto your very own balcony and breathing in the air while looking out over all the gems these two cities have to offer? Our apartments at Home at Homes are always in the most privileged places. The Giralda, the Cathedral, the Retiro Park in Madrid or its Plaza de Oriente are some of the neighbours you will get to know – and there are many more – if you stay in one of them.

Spring means joy, colour, vitality. Long, sunny days and evenings spent on a terrace. Light returns in the spring, the light that was missing over the winter, and with it the urge to enjoy your days, to forget the February rains… And you can certainly do just that in one of the many fiestas that spring brings with it. Spring: a season of joy and fiestas.

Travelling is imagining, creating, inventing, dreaming… travelling is the essence of life. It heals the soul. It’s a breath of fresh air that makes us younger and changes us inside. Nothing is the same after a trip. Work, a visit to loved ones, getting to know new places, or simply for leisure. And at this time of the year, of course, a very special trip: travelling for Christmas.

It’s in our DNA, as those who have already stayed with us know, part of our appeal: our homes must give your their all. So a Home at Homes property is not only special within, it must also be in a privileged location. Always. In the heart and history of each of our cities.

We want Home at Homes to be your home away from home. Apartments, houses and villas where you can be yourself and make of your holidays and your leisure time exactly what you want them to be. But (and you can call us vain if you wish) we are determined to leave our little mark on you, working on the small details which really make you feel extra special.

It may sound a bit soppy, but we’ll say it anyway: we believe in the power of the little things, of that little extra something… We want to anticipate your needs, cater to your every whim, bring out a smile. We want you to think of us fondly when you go back to your daily routine.

How do you picture spending the last night of this year? Maybe with family or with friends, after having had a sumptuous dinner and certainly in a great festive spirit.  And surely… at home!

Truth is that it is a magical moment, full of good wishes that are worth living in company of the ones we love.
