Charming, intimate property set in residential home with traditional decor

Fireplaces, mustard tufted couches and armchairs, and shabby-chic wicker chairs are found throughout, and decorative accents such as flower vases, wall tapestries, and lampshade sconces add charm. Interior arches, an outdoor terrace with lanterns flanking the wall, and white stone columns add an upmarket feel. decorated in shades of cream and primrose, with faintly Art Nouveau furnishings, and inviting Chesterfield couches dotted around its lobby and lounges. Well-manicured grounds house a small pool, sculptures, and lots of greenery. Villa Jerez attracts couples and families looking for a serene spot away from the buzzing center of Jerez.

Alcázar de Jerez and Jerez Cathedral are a bit farther at about 25-minute walks. Still, several tapas bars and the Fundación Real Escuela Andaluza Del Arte Ecuestre, which puts on traditional Andalusian horse dancing shows, are within shorter walking distances.

Rooms
Elegantly decorated rooms with marble bathrooms
The 18 rooms here are all individually decorated in elegant, yet homey decor. Furnishings include traditional wood furniture, gray marble floors, and small gilded artwork, plus some have vibrant striped wallpaper, benches at the foot of the beds, and old-fashioned floral curtains. Entry-level Economy Rooms are the smallest and least impressive of the bunch. Nevertheless, all units have flat-screen TVs, sitting areas, air-conditioning and heating, minibars (free in certain units), wardrobes, and safes, plus free Wi-Fi. Marble bathrooms have quality showers, while upgraded units have jetted tubs and separate showers. All come with free toiletries, bathrobes and slippers, and hairdryers.

Features
Peaceful garden with a swimming pool, buffet breakfast, and dinner tasting menus
Villa Jerez offers a decent list of amenities, but it falls short of its advertised luxury status. There's no spa on-site and the couple pieces of gym equipment are reportedly often broken. On the plus side, the lovely garden houses a pool lined with loungers and umbrellas, and the atmosphere here is peaceful. For dining, a well-regarded buffet breakfast consists of typical continental fare, plus hot dishes such as made-to-order omelets. The Spanish restaurant also serves a popular tasting menu with an accompanying sherry flight. Travelers can have a drink on the outdoor terrace or in the cozy library lounge. Covered outdoor parking spots and property-wide Wi-Fi are both free.
