It is quite easy getting to El Rincón de las Descalzas Hotel as it is situated in the very centre of Carmona, just 25 km from Seville.

Calmness and reminiscences from the past combined with modern comfort and luxury.
Thirteen architecturally different and individually decorated rooms.
Carmona is one of the towns of Seville with the biggest historical legacy, taking an importat part through the consecutive invasions. Its name comes from the Semitic root KAR that means city, probably related to its possible Phoenician foundation. The romans called it Carmo, and the arabs Qarmuna.
The Rincon de las Descalzas is situated in the Historical Centre of Carmona, close to the Santa Maria de Gracia Church, a beautiful Gothic example, with many Chapels and nice works in precious metals. From the Visigothic period it preserves a liturgical calendar cut on one of the columns of the Patio de los Naranjos.
The hotel takes its name from the Descalzas passage, in front of the Descalzas’ convent, from the XVIII century and with a beautiful façade and tower.
