The three-and-a-half-pearl Parador de Carmona is a fantastic hotel for travelers looking for an authentic European castle getaway. The far-reaching countryside views are spectacular, and the medieval atmosphere is in evidence everywhere -- from the grandly arched dining room to details like heavy wooden doors. There's a large outdoor seasonal pool, though it's a bit of a trek down the hill, and the restaurant serves food throughout the day, with an additional bar menu and terrace seating. The 63 rooms have a simple, natural style with more antique furniture and balconies overlooking the endless scenery. For those who'd prefer to be closer to the action in Seville, the equally grand Gran Melia Colon is a luxury option that has similar rates and adds a spa.
