luxury hotel for sale Constantina, Spain

The monastery, now a hotel and venue for celebrations, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception is located in the Sierra Norte of Sevilla on a plateau at 650 meters above sea level in an idyllic place rich in history, surrounded by forests, an inexhaustible water spring, and exceptional views. Celtic, Phoenician, Roman, Muslim, and Christian remains can be found here. In the 8th century, the Fihrids arrived from Morocco, whose leader was elected Walí of Cordoba from 747 to 756. During this period, he built a mosque, the largest oil mill in Andalusia, and a flour mill in the area known as El Castillejo, and today there are remains of all these constructions. When the Muslims left in the 14th century, it is known that Don Pedro El Cruel, King of Castile and Leon, stayed at El Castillejo and hunted bears with the Prince of Wales, known as the Black Prince. Between 1417 and 1420, Fray Lope de Olmedo built the San Jerónimo de Acela monastery on the site and in 1476, the Carthusians took over the monastery from the Hieronymites. The monks housed pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago in the Casa del Peregrino (house of the pilgrim) and cultivated the land. They also introduced their own techniques for making liqueurs, now known worldwide as Cazalla liqueur. The suites and rooms are converted cells, built in 1416 by the Hieronymite order. Today, they are comfortable and charming spaces with beautiful views of the gardens, the cloister, or the valley. The decoration is rustic but not austere and the bathrooms have mosaics and integrated showers.
