Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Timing is apparently everything. My wife and I booked three nights to celebrate our anniversary and her birthday, and thanks to Covid we arrived to find we were one of only three parties staying. The extent of the grounds and the seclusion of the accommodations meant that we felt as though we were the only guests. The "casitas" (cottages) are beautifully built and decorated and you'll want for nothing in terms of amenities. We were treated like royalty and fed like kings – breakfast on the patio outside was truly wonderful.
Lounging in the pool, chatting with Tico the friendly labrador, and walking around the fields that encircle the Hacienda are all treasured memories. Such a wonderful place!

Room Tip: A casita is the really indulgent option, but the accommodation in the main building is top-notch.

We had the fortune of having this incredible Hacienda all for ourselves. The owner and the staff are visibly passionate about providing a great experience for their guests. The great level of detail across the board speaks to this as well. Every little thing is thought through and will make you want to come back!

We returned to this absolutely Magical and Unique Hacienda for the fourth time , which says it all. From the moment you arrive, your shoulders drop and you feel so relaxed and in the most special and wonderful place. One doesn’t even feel guilty about doing so little other than enjoying swimming to the sound of the doves singing, a daily stroll to the cotton fields and being so well looked after my Anthony Reid and his completely amazing staff. Just to mention a few, Fina, Monica, Pilly, Eva, Chari, Juani and ALL the rest.
The food is so fresh and absolutely delicious, not to mention the superb collection of wines. Lunch can be anywhere you want to have it and dinner is in a different and stunning, candle lit place every evening. We are just home and already looking to book our return next year. The best place to unwind in the World.

Hacienda de San Rafael is a lovely place. The setting is pretty, the buildings are charming and the food and service is good.

However, Hacienda de San Rafael are also charging a super-premium price (EUR 400 per night plus) on top of which they add extras whenever they can (e.g. a cover charge for bread at lunch, a supplement for fresh fruit at breakfast). The feeling, as a result, is of being marooned in a comfortable and attractive cash extraction machine.

The same, you may argue, is true of other luxury hotels. Not necessarily the case. We arrived at the Hacienda from a 5* hotel in Cordoba with better facilities and better service that cost less than half the price.

My own view, others may disagree, is that when the nightly B&B rate exceeds EUR 400 the following should be true:

1. Breakfast should offer some variety (breakfast at the Hacienda is the same every day and is very basic continental ... anything else is an expensive extra)

2. Breakfast should include a choice of freshly brewed espresso based coffees (coffee at the Hacienda is lukewarm filter served from a stained and cracked vacuum flask)

3. The room should come with a high quality shower with strong water flow (the shower in our room operated with a trickle at best and smelt faintly of sewage)

4. The standard of decoration in the room and in the resort in general should be very high (the standard of decoration was tired in places with missing mosaic tiles in the main pool, an old and dented bin in our bathroom and the toilet roll holder hanging off the wall)

5. The sleep quality should be excellent (our room was neatly sandwiched between an American guest who chose to play very loud music after midnight and the staff food preparation area. In addition we were woken early every morning my staff laying tables for breakfast immediately outside our room)

6. There should be lots of very comfortable and pleasant places to sit especially outside (there are a lot of fairly comfortable places to sit which are ok as long as you are happy to put up with the flies and wasps)

7. Drinks should be high quality and readily available (the drinks menu is not very extensive, and drinks were highly priced and not great quality. The house wine that is included with the EUR 65 dinner menu was not very good and was served warm on one occasion. A shame since the food is excellent)

8. Broadband should be fast and reliable especially in bedrooms (the Hacienda has a bewildering number of WiFi networks none of which seem to be reliable and WiFi was frequently inaccessible from our bedroom)

These issues may sound minor. But they have to be taken in the context of the super-premium pricing. They do not feel minor in the context of a 4 night stay costing almost £2.5k.

It's rare, almost impossible, to find the kind of hospitality we were recently lucky enough to experience at the Hacienda de San Rafael. From the moment we arrived (very late...) we experienced nothing but warmth, generosity and the very best kind of service. From accommodating our late arrival (a candlelit supper in the courtyard at midnight) to sunset drinks on the terrace to Anthony's infectious charm, we were truly welcomed like guests and left like old friends.

It is the most perfect spot for a few days of rest and peace, only 45 minutes from Seville and within easy acess of Cadiz or Jerez for a day trip. The food is exceptional, the setting magical and the service faultless. The Hacienda is genuinely unique – don't think twice, just go!

The Hacienda San Rafael is a beautiful rural hotel set on farmland with wonderful hospitality. Delightful food, and many personal touches to create the perfect stay.
We were looked after from the moment we arrived. Rooms are traditional. Beds extremely comfortable. Breakfast is set outside your room on a terrace. Dinner outside with a different view each evening. Food is exceptionally fresh with delicious salads available at lunch time.
Honestly a wonderful experience
Thankyou to Isabella Anthony and all your staff

We had our wedding at Hacienda de San Rafael and it was truly wonderful. It was the perfect weekend and the Hacienda the most beautiful location to celebrate. The service was impeccable the whole stay - every need was catered for and everything so seamless, making it such an enjoyable experience for all the guests. Food was amazing at every meal. Thank you so much to Sofia, Anthony and all the team at HSR for making it so special.

The most perfect stay! The location is idyllic and peaceful. The food is delicious and the set menu in the evening can be tweaked to cater for pescatarians, vegetarians etc. The accommodation is very comfortable and extremely clean. The staff are wonderful! A special shout out to Isabel! We will be back!

We needed a hotel near Seville on our way from Portugal to Malaga and found this one at Conde Nast Traveller. We did not expect much and my wife asked “why do we need to go there?” before we arrived.
At the end we were all overwhelmed by the magic of the place, the friendly, well trained and efficient staff and the owner Anthony, who definitely has guru qualities.
I did not only have the best massage and many great breakfasts in a row but as well the most impressive inland sunset I have ever seen.
Please don’t go there all at once, we do want to find a free room or a little villa next year when we plan to come back.

This Hacienda is just perfect. We stayed for three nights with our 6 year old son and had the mot wonderful cassita to stay in with a beautiful pool. Jerry the manager is so lovely and all of the staff are friendly, kind and helpful. The owners' boys were staying and our son had so much fun playing with them. We can't wait to come again, The food, service and atmosphere are wonderful in every way.
