Hotel Viento10

A beautiful hidden gem off the beaten track but within walking distance to the busier areas near the cathedral. The spa-like atmosphere was very restful. And the room was enormous. I don’t remember the name/number but I stayed in the far left corner of the courtyard on the first floor. Gerardo was kind and accommodating.

I recently reviewed a self-described boutique hotel in Seville, Spain, the Catedral Boutique. This establishment, as I described it, was a complete antithesis to the boutique concept and an unmitigated disaster. In the contrary, Viento 10 in Cordoba Spain is , in my view, the epitome of a boutique hotel. It is a medium-sized place located about a 10 minute-walk from the historical center of Cordoba. Quite interestingly, the design and architecture is a tasteful blend of old (remains of a 14th century hospital) and modern, exquisitely executed design, such as graceful arches resting on old but well-preserved columns, glass doors and partition opening up onto an internal patio, in the Spanish fashion. Needless to say, the rooms are large and equipped with absolutely up to-date and high quality equipment, such as bedding, ta large amount of towels , A/C, shower and all required amenities. The owner greeted us personally upon our arrival and shared with us how he and his family refurbished the old building and transformed it into this wonderful place. The nightly rate is high for the area, but I believe quite justified by the hotel location (very easy, convenient and quick access from major highways), the level of personal attention and the overall comfort provided to the customer. I would recommend Viento 10 to any Cordoba visitor without any reservations.
