Luxury bespoke holidays and tours to Hotel Villa Jerez, Jerez in Andalusia
Villa Jerez is a five star boutique hotel situated in Jerez de la Frontera on the western coast of Andalusia. In the Cadiz region, close to Granada, Cadiz, and Seville, this area is packed with opportunities for cultural excursions and leisurely exploration. Approach the hotel through the elegant front gate and across the circular driveway, in the centre of which grows a collection of palms. This boutique hotel is housed within a traditional Spanish manor house containing 18 individually decorated rooms. Like the pale ochre facade, these unique rooms are decorated in pastel colours that have a calming influence in a hotel that benefits from such a convenient city location. Soothing natural colours, accompanied by rustic fireplaces, ornate bookcases, comfortable armchairs, and traditional artworks, establish a pervading sense of simplistic luxury in the public rooms, while the whites and greys of the Junior Suites take on a more contemporary feel. Restaurant Villa Jerez is open for both lunch and dinner, and offers a vast array of regional and national specialities which serve to situate guests more deeply in traditional Spain. Terraces, canopied by the balconies above and surrounded by the hotel's lush grounds, provide an excellent setting for romantic meals or cocktails before dinner. A swimming pool is situated amidst 4000m² of beautiful gardens, and adds to this veritable haven of tranquillity. Superior Rooms are adorned with balconies or terraces that look out over the pool and gardens. Such a convenient location grants you easy access to the picturesque centre of Jerez and its formidable cathedral, and puts you just a short distance from Jerez's many bodegas, where you can try some of the famous Jerez sherry. Plan your holiday in May to visit the famous Feria de Jerez, a horse fair to rival that of Seville. Perfect for long stays in Andalucia, the Hotel Villa Jerez offers the essential balance between quietude and cultural exploration, and between excellent value and luxurious indulgence. As this holiday includes a hire car, you are able to explore this famous region further, perhaps by driving southeast to Gibraltar to see the Rock itself and the native monkeys, or perhaps by around the sparkling bay to Cadiz, one of Europe's oldest cities. The possibilities for days of cultural exploration abound, though we recommend staying at Villa Jerez as part of a longer touring holiday of the region.

Luxury bespoke holidays and tours to Hotel Villa Jerez, Jerez in Andalusia
About Andalusia
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to Andalusia offers the chance to explore a holiday destination famed for its indulgent climate and coastal appeal. The region cannot deny its fair share of sun, sea and sand, but what is often neglected to mention is the region's immense variety. Comprising of eight unique provinces, Andalusia spans west to east from the wetlands and the Atlantic Ocean to the deserts and the popular Costa del Sol on the Mediterranean Sea. Poised at the southern-most tip of the Iberian Peninsula, Andalusia acts as a gateway between the European and African continents, harbouring a myriad of influences that speak of the layers of civilisation that have roamed and inhabited the land. From the vibrant cities to the tiny white-washed villages, from vast sierras to the extensive coastline, Andalusia is a region of contrasts which promises an authentic luxury holiday.
Highlights of Andalusia
With 800km of coastline, there are plenty of beaches to choose from - facing the Atlantic are the long, sandy beaches of the Costa de la Luz, extending south from the Portuguese border to Tarifa; covering the area between Malaga and Gibraltar is the famous Costa del Sol, known for its numerous beach resorts which range from the cheap and cheerful to exclusive luxury; to the south of Granada is the Costa Tropical, a stretch of coast with sandy coves and a pleasant microclimate; and to the east is the more rugged Costa de Almeria. A number of luxury resorts and hotels are located along each of these coastlines. Surrounding Granada is the Sierra Nevada, a mountain range where the Spanish mainland's highest peak can be found and home to white-washed mountain villages. In the far east of Andalusia is the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park, the largest protected area in Spain where you can find hiking trails, mountain villages and many wild animals. Further south is The Cabo de Gata Natural Park, a land and sea reserve near Almeria which is home to unspoilt scenery and an abundance of wildlife. In the west of the region is the Doñana National Park, an extensive area in the delta of the Guadalquivir River which includes marshland and sand dunes and is a breeding ground of the endangered Iberian Lynx. Thanks to the region's great variety in landscapes, culture and cuisine, a luxury holiday to Andalusia is sure to be a delightful experience.
Cultural highlights of Andalusia
Many of the Andalusia's cultural highlights can be found in the three Moorish cities of Cordoba, Granada and Seville, all of which are home to a number of excellent luxury hotels. Cordoba, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and former centre of Muslim control during Andalusia's colonisation by the Islamic Empire. At the city's heart is the astounding Mezquita de Cordoba, a mediaeval mosque turned Catholic cathedral with endless Moorish arches, columns and glinting tiles of vibrant hues. Other highlights include the fascinating Jewish quarter and Roman ruins galore. Nearer the coast is Granada, where Islamic rule endured the longest and the magical Alhambra remains as a monument to this legacy. A 9th century palace fortress, it guards over the city from an elevated crag amongst vast, aromatic gardens. To the west, on the peaceful plains of River Guadalquivir, Seville quietly awaits discovery along with its three World Heritage Sites: the Alcazar palace, the gothic Cathedral and the General Archive of the Indies. Other towns and cities of interest in Andalusia include Jerez de la Frontera, where you can visit the sherry bodegas which make the city famous and watch the dressage displays which are held at The Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art; Cadiz, the oldest city in Europe which is surrounded almost entirely by water; Ronda, a spectacular city which is split in half by a narrow gorge; Malaga, birthplace of Picasso and home to a Museum which displays a collection of his work; the small town of Baeza, where you can find stunning examples of Renaissance architecture; and Almeria, a coastal city which is dominated by the Alcazaba, the largest Moorish fortress in Spain. During your stay in Andalusia make sure to witness the seductive art of flamenco. Alluring, passionate and cathartic, it's easy to understand how this gypsy tradition has become one of the most familiar emblems of Spanish culture.
Festivals in Andalusia
There are a huge number of local festivals held in villages, towns and cities throughout Andalusia, many of which have a religious significance. 5 January: Three Kings parades, February: Shrove Tuesday Carnivals, February: Seville Tapas Fair, February to March: Jerez Flamenco Festival, March/April: Holy week celebrations, April to October: Seville Bullfighting season, April/May: Seville Spring Fair, April/May: Úbeda Classical Music Festival, Mid May: Jerez Horse Fair, June to July: Granada Music & Dance Festival, June - July: Cordoba Guitar Festival, August: Malaga Summer Fair, September: Ronda bullfighting festival, November: Granada Jazz Festival.
Gastronomy in Andalusia
Cuisine in Andalusia is diverse, varying throughout the region and combining Arabic flavours with more common Mediterranean ingredients such as seafood, olive oil and an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables. As the birthplace of tapas, Andalusia is an excellent place to try the snacks which are often served free with drinks in Granada. Other Andalusian specialities include Serrano ham from the Sierra Nevada and sherry from Jerez de la Frontera, as well as dishes such as ‘Ajo blanco’ (a white gazpacho), ‘Espetos de sardina’ (roasted sardines), ‘Huevos a la flamenca’ (baked eggs with vegetables) and ‘Fritura de pescado’ (mixed fried fish).
