The seven-room, mid-range Hotel Viento 10 is a modern boutique built in a renovated old house. Beautifully designed and decorated with colorful artwork set against whitewashed walls and rich hardwood floors, this property has a real zen feel. This meditative atmosphere is enhanced by an on on-site spa with a whirlpool tub and sauna. Rooms resemble mini lofts with stunning paintings as headboards and stylish modern bathrooms with lilac glass partitions and metallic-tinged cement floors and showers. Wi-Fi is free, but charges for parking and breakfast can add up and there isn't an on-site restaurant. The walkable neighborhood is teeming with restaurants, shops, and bars.
Scene
Intimate and breezy boutique
The Hotel Viento 10 is set in a 16th century house that has been lovingly renovated to bridge the centuries, with a predominance of large windows and colorful accents that blend together to create a peaceful space. When the owners bought the property, they had archeological surveys done, and stripped off many eras of cement to reveal the unique structure of the original building, including an array of 16th century columns that line the picturesque central patio. The sound of trickling water from fountains adds to the serene vibe, and the mixture of styles (Andalucian, Moorish, and Roman) lends a romantic spirit to the place. The Viento 10 feels homey, yet polished and sophisticated.
Location
On a narrow, quiet street in the historic district, close to everything
The Hotel Viento 10 sits on quiet, narrow, cobbled street in Cordoba's historic district. The entrance is nondescript, belying the hidden wonderland concealed behind the plain front door. A five-minute walk takes guests to a lively area filled with bars and restaurants, and the Cordoba's famed Mosque is only 10 minutes away on foot. The Viento 10 combines the feeling of a residential Spanish street with easy access to all the major historic attractions.
Rooms
Open and loft-like rooms, with large colorful artwork, fancy toiletries, and spectacular bathrooms
Rooms at the Hotel Viento 10 are breezy and open. Each room is individually designed and decorated, and many are long and narrow, with separate seating areas that include comfortable chaise-like sofa beds and wall-mounted flat-screen TVs. Everything is stylish and white, with colorful accents of lilac and silver, cream and gold, and other interesting color combinations. Headboards are large canvases painted by Spanish textile artist, Rocio Moreno. Bathrooms are gorgeous with rainfall showers and designer toiletries, lilac glass partitions, and floors of silver or gold-flecked cement. Views of the patio are lovely, but some street views are unremarkable.
Features
Spa tub, sauna, massage, roof deck, and delicious breakfast
The Hotel Viento 10 features a wellness center that is accessible through a set of glass doors that look like an abstract watercolor painting. Inside there is a spa tub and small sauna, with massages available by appointment. The hot tub is in a blue room that feels like a grotto. Upstairs, the rooftop terrace feels very private and Mediterranean, with nothing but blue sky, tile rooftops, mod white sun loungers, and cool yellow umbrellas. A buffet breakfast is served daily for a surcharge; many guests attest to its quality.
