About this property
Luxury, light & spacious loft-apartment great for longer stays, private parking
Number 43 is our stylish, contemporary, luminous apartment on the first floor of a 19th century palace, accessed through a classical central courtyard. The building, is in the heart of the historical part of Jerez, situated on the same street as the famed flamenco museum. All the sights, Bodegas, Peña flamenco and shops, including the wonderful food market, are just a few minutes stroll away. Please note: the apartment is on the first floor, with two flight of stairs due to the height of the ceiling. The en-suite bedroom has the open stairs as on the photo., hence not recommended for anyone with a mobility issue. We've had many very successful longer stays, some for several months at the time. This open-plan, loft style apartment is best for a couple, should you decide to work from there, allowing perfect individual privacy for those work calls. Jerez is is a great city, both for work and play. Included in the price, is our parking space in the underground garage next door, very important in the old town! We 're well connected by train to visit Seville + Cadiz or arrive from Madrid. Jerez airport is 20 mins. drive, Gibraltar and Seville are about 80 mins. drive. We can organise for you to be collected at any of the 3 airports, please ask for the fee.
Our 104m2 apartment is peaceful and sunny, away from the street, facing south-west with views across the old town and to the vineyards beyond. This loft-style conversion makes full use of it’s 5 meter high ceilings resulting in a beautifully spacious apartment with an abundance of light.
The en-suite upper bedroom with king sized bed can also be made up as two singles, if required and on request. The en-suite bathroom is "petite" but cute with a Hydro-Shower, a sink and toilet. The views over the roofs to the cathedral & Alcazar are spectacular, the morning mist in the distance or the sunsets adding to the drama. The downstairs bedroom has a double bed, a writing desk, wardrobe, small library, using the beautiful Philipe Stark equipped bathroom with its large bathtub (shower-over) sink and toilet. Children: Suitable only for Children over the ages of 10 or babies up to crawling age . We offer a cot & highchair. The living/dining area is luminous and spacious with comfortable leather settees.

Efficient air conditioning/heat exchange keeps the apartment cool in Summer and warm in Winter.
All spices, virgin oil and vinegar, coffee, tea and other dry foods are in the kitchen. This allows for easy living/dining, we're so close to that wonderful vegetable/fish market.
Jerez is a city to enjoy at a leisurely pace, stopping here and there for a Fino or Oloroso, with a little bite of something delicious. There are so many open air eateries and fine dining restaurants in the neighbourhood! The month of December is very festive, Zambombas echo in the streets. These happy gathering reflect the spirit of Jerez.; Joy of life, good company, playing, singing and dancing together.
Jerez is part of the Sherry triangle, with Sanlúcar de Barameda and Puerto Santa Maria. All 3 towns have many Bodegas, the choice is yours. You can either visit these towns by car, making use of our private parking space, or by public transport. Cadiz is a 30 mins train ride or less in the car. Seville is about an hours ride. The white villages are nearby, you'd be spoilt for choice. Ronda is a highlight.

Great place, super friendly owner and the best prepped property i have ever stayed in, they really go the extra mile to give you as much info as possible to make your stay easy.
We stayed for 5 weeks in this wonderful spacious and sunny flat in the heart of old town Jerez. Great care has been paid by the owners to details and we’ve never slept in more comfortable beds. We never needed a car in all those weeks as everything is in walking distance.

Thank you Barbara, it was a great pleasure meeting you both and hearing about your “Semana Santa” experiences..
Everything you ever wanted. Great parking garage. 3-5 minute walk to sights, bars, restaurants and all types of food stores Very quiet. Spotless. Wonderful location.
This was a beautiful apartment with all we needed for a week's stay. The hosts were welcoming and flexible and available if we needed anything.
The apartment was very individual with art displayed and well located near the centre. We would return here.
We had a wonderful week in Jerez during semana santa, and were able to walk to all of the processions and downtown cafes. The apartment is beautifully decorated and has a full kitchen and two full bathrooms. And Alice and Jim could not have been nicer or more helpful with directions and assistance. We are looking forward to coming back soon.
Very clean, well furnished, and centrally located. However I was surprised that it was on the second and third floors. The owner was readily accessible on several occasions. I do recommend that the VRBO clearly describes that the first floor of the apartment is on the second level for anyone who has mobility or respiratory issues. I gladly would stay there again.
You won't regret booking this beautiful apartment. It is beautifully decorated and has everything a guest would need. We spent a week here exploring Jerez and the surrounding area. It was so nice to return at the end of the day to a space that felt more like a friend's apartment than a Vrbo stay.
The kitchen is superbly stocked with cooking utensils, cooking basics and appliances. The beds are super comfortable, the shower is great and a deep soaker tub was an added bonus. It's close to the action in the old town. You'll love its proximity to excellent restaurants, cafés and shops. Such a great place!

It is always a pleasure to know that our visitors were comfortable and had a great stay. We use our apartment ourselves, hence it is equipped for us and visiting friends. We love Jerez and it's neighbouring towns and villages, an area we're very happy to recommend to travellers from closer and further away.
This was an excellent apartment in a residential area of Jerez but just 5 minutes walk to all the restaurants and with everything pretty much in walking distance. You don't need a car to explore Jerez!
We had a two week stay and the apartment really did feel like "ours" by the end of it. It had everything you need and many more things you didn't know you needed!
If you are a cook, you will enjoy the kitchen.
Overall we would highly recommend, especially for longer stays.
Many thanks.

You will love this apartment
The loft apartment is beautiful, comfortable and very well equipped. It is located on a quiet street, and you enter through a handsome courtyard. The apartment really is as stunning in real life as all the pictures online suggest. The owners have taken the time to have all apartment details explained with directions and manuals. They also provide a lot of information about Jerez and other nearby sites to visit. Their restaurant recommendation was spot on as well.
You will love staying here. Jane

Thank you! We’re so happy that you’ve enjoyed some of the many delights of Jerez as well as our apartment.
We rented this nice apartment for 3 weeks in January. You cannot beat the location. Very close to restaurants and shops. Also close to several attractions in the old centre. A little tricky getting to the place in a car but the hosts helped with directions and pictures. There is even underground parking which is great but you must have a small car. The apartment is comfortable and so are the beds. There was a noisy dog as you come into the courtyard but he stops barking quick enough. One upstairs neighbour some nights would have their tv on way too loud from 9:30 to 11:30. The apartment could have been a little cleaner when we arrived. We had to do a little cleaning on our own. Overall it was a nice stay.
Wir hatten sehr schöne Tage in Jerez in der Wohnung von Alice und Jim. Die Kommunikation war hervorragend, es gab perfekte Tipps zur Anreise, wir wurden persönlich sehr nett empfangen. Das Auto konnte in der Tiefgarage problemlos geparkt werden. Die Wohnung ist stilvoll eingerichtet, es fehlt an nichts. Wir konnten am Abreisetag länger bleiben, weil unsere Flug erst abends startete. Wir bedanken uns ganz herzlich bei Alice und Jim und können die Wohnung sehr gern anderen Reisenden empfehlen.

Supertolle supersaubereWohnung auf 2 Ebenen mitten In Jerez, Tapas und Sherrybars um die Ecke. Das Auto kann dafür in der Garage bleiben. Idealer Standort für Ausflüge in die Umgebung Ronda, weiße Dörfer, Stände..... selbst nach Sevilla ist es nur ca.60 min

Schon Euch für eine Woche zu beherbergen. Ihr seid unsere Idealen Gäste, sorgsam und schätzend. Jerez ist so gut gelegen, so man eine Woche nichts tun kann und nur die Altstadt geniessen. Auch ein idealer Standort für die wunderschöne Umgebung.
Our second stay in Jerez and this apartment is just great with excellent hosts and helpful Isobel to welcome us. Within walking distance of all the sights, bars, restaurants and Andalucian life, it's well equipped and feels like a home not just a holiday let. It had all the facilities we needed and meant we could entertain & serve lunch for friends who came up from San Fernando. Highly recommended - thank you
I had a great time during Semana Santa which was much more intense this time as it was the first since covid. A clean, tastefully decorated open plan apartment with a good kitchen and two bedrooms.
The apartment is a short walk from all the main restaurants and bars in Jerez.
The WiFi was good and the TV had Netflix etc for relaxing after Semana Santa.
Het appartement ligt centraal gelegen is bijzonder smaakvol ingericht met een heerlijke verzameling boeken. De keuken is van alle gemakken voorzien, Alle bezienswaardigheden in Jerez liggen op loopafstand. De privé garage is een pré.
Quiet, Stylish and Comfortable in the heart of Jerez!
My spouse and I stayed for a month in Jerez in this wonderful apartment during the lively Zambomba-filled Christmas season. I don’t think we could have found a better place for our needs given its good location in the centro historico, the interior layout, and how well-equipped it is. The owners are great people and were caring and very responsive to all our questions and requests throughout our stay. We ended up not wanting to leave when the time came to depart! The only thing that could have made it better would have been deck off the living area or off the second floor bedroom to soak up some of the warm Andalucian winter sun But the large windows brought in ample sunlight most days, and we spent lots of time outside in Jerez and further afield in western Andalucia on a few day and overnight trips so really didn’t need that anyway. Jerez is truly a gem and the heart of authentic Andalucia with its lively Tabanco and Flamenco culture and venues. If you want to experience that, stay at Alice and Jim’s place for at least a few days— you won’t regret it!
Die Wohnung, die Ausstattung, die Kunst, die Lage, der Parkplatz, nicht zuletzt die Heizung an den doch kühlen Morgen - wir haben uns wie zuhause gefühlt. Und nicht zu vergessen die Empfehlungen von Alice und Jim. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Fin de semana en jerez
El apartamento estaba muy bien. La dueña puso muchas pegas para la hora de entrada e incluso nos pidió que anularamos la reserva con una semana de antelación así que viajando desde Madrid tuvimos que perder día de trabajo para llegar a la hora. En el parking nos robaron complementos de las motos

Si es verdad, la hora de llegado debe ser antes de la siete y a sido muy bien publicada. Tambien publicamos que no aceptamos grupos (la reserva era por tres personas), 4 hombre nos parece como un grupo. Asi tuvimos derecho de anular, por falta de cumplir las normas del contracto.
Por fin hemos acceptado su cambio de llegada antes de la siete, como era la regla del contracto!
Lo del robo en el parking nunca se ha occurido en 12 años de inquilinos..... y es fuera de nuestra control. El garaje es cerrado .

Un lieu douillet, très agréable
Cet appartement est très agréable, lumineux, spatieux, confortable et sa conception est judicieuse.
La cuisine qui l'équipe est complète et ergonomique.
L'environnement est très très calme, ce qui en fait l'endroit idéal pour des vacances en famille.
En outre, comme il est situé dans une rue toute proche de ce que je qualifierai de " vieux centre ville", il est possible de presque tout faire à pied sur la commune de Jerez de la Frontera, ce qui est très appréciable.
Bon séjour à tous les prochains hôtes car cette location mérite d'être découverte !
Encore merci à Alice pour sa bienveillance " à distance" et l'accueil chaleureux d'Isabel!

Wonderful Apartment
We stayed a the apartment for five weeks and found it to be just as advertised in HomeAway. The very sunny apartment was well equipped and spotlessly clean for a comfortable stay and we felt quite at home. The location in the old part of Jerez was ideally located within a short walk to bars, restaurants, supermarket and fresh vegetable/fish market. We did not rent a car but found we could travel to other towns quite easily using buses and trains. We visited Gibraltar, Cordoba, Cadiz, Seville and Arcos
We were fortunate to be in Jerez during Easter (Semana Santa). Their celebrations and street processions is something we will always remember. We were also there for the Flamenco Festival and were able to attend a flamenco performance at a location literally steps away from the apartment.
The owners, Jim and Alice, were excellent hosts and would always respond to any questions promptly. We would definitely recommend this apartment.

Ankommen, Wohlfühlen und einfach geniessen
Im Februar haben wir 10 sonnige und erholsame Tage in Jerez und in dem wunderbaren Loft von Alice und Jim verbracht. Die sehr geschmackvolle Wohnung lässt keine Wünsche offen, die Küche ist optimal ausgestattet, so dass das Kochen richtig Spaß gemacht hat, zumal die Markthalle in Jerez ein Paradies ist. Alles ist großzügig und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Die Wohnung liegt sehr günstig, in einer ruhigen Straße, in nur 3 min ist man auch schon auf einem der einladenden Plätze mit Cafés und Tabancos, herrlich. Jerez ist immer eine Reise wert, das Meer ist schnell zu erreichen und Ausflüge die weißen Dörfer sind ein Erlebnis.Hier will man länger bleiben. Herzlichen Dank an die Gastgeber.

Great space, great location, perfect place to spend a week in Jerez
Dear Alice and Jim. My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful week staying at your apartment in Jerez. It truly is a fantastic space with everything we needed as a base for our time in the city. The apartment felt more like home each time we returned back from our sightseeing. It’s clear that your flair for the arts and design has played a big part in the architecture of the apartment and we particularly liked the fact that Jim’s art was a feature of the decor - a very talented man indeed. Spotlessly clean, very secure, very private and quiet, and also perfectly located - less than a 20 minute walk to pretty much everything there is to see in Jerez. Your recommendations were also appreciated and enjoyed - we took the train to Puerta Santa Maria and then boat to Cádiz (indeed a great way to enter the city), we ate at Arbores (fabulous food) and also at the Fundador restaurant (also fabulous) and equally enjoyed buying fresh fish and vegetables from the market to cook in the apartment. We’ll see you again I’m sure!

Oh thank you both.
We equally enjoyed having you as guests.
Being artists it is a great way of sharing the apartment, aswell as the cost, of our extravegance in the city.
An "escape" to our country life here in the "Serrania de Ronda" or your working lives abroad.
It is the perfect place to relax, unwind and just enjoy the delights of Jerez.
We will arrive in Cadiz by boat one day, we do recommend it to our visitors but have never actually done it ourselves......
About the host
Hosted by Jim & Alice Rattenbury
We're living in the hinterland of the Costa del Sol and were searching for a 'pied á terre' in this lovely city. A great way to relax away from the demands of a 'country estate'.
Why they chose this property
We bought this former ballroom, then a costume workshop which was part of the small design school. the deign college is no longer located in the building. Seeing the space with its height and so much light we saw the possibilities to turn it to our dream apartment. A year and a half later we had our apartment completed! We were so inspired by the space that we took great care to make this our perfect town escape, a spirit that came from the original owners who build the palace as their town residence, and had it renovated to their needs in 1867. The first floor was for pleasure and to entertain. The classical courtyard housed their horses and carriages during their stay in town, Their town residence, both for pleasure and business. The space is luxurious, the height is just wonderful, we also use the apartment to entertain our international guests during our city escapes.
What makes this property unique
Space, light, peace, comfort with of masses of sunshine, surrounded by great restaurants, plazas, shops and churches and other fantastic historical buildings, Palaces and much more...... all within all 5-10 mins. walk in the pedestrian part of the old city. A past visitor's review with 2 teenage daughters: "What a fabulous surprise Jerez has been. We really didn't know what to expect and have enjoyed it hugely. The wonderful cobbled streets a joy to walk around, great visits to the Hammam, Alcazar and the Cathedral. Great food in the nearby eateries, especially "Albores" & "Amar". Within a max. 10 mins. walk there are also many bodegas, clubs, music bars and Tabernas with plenty of flamenco. If you feel like exploring further by car our favorite beaches are less than 30 mins. away. You'll be able to explore the quintessential Andalucia, with hill-top fortified towns, villages, and beach-resorts.
