This 10th-century farmhouse was one of our favorite stops on our tour of Spain last summer. Transformed into the luxurious El Bulli Hotel Hacienda Benazuza (complete with a private heliport), the former residence today boasts precious art and antiques, an orange grove, an aromatic herb and fruit garden and a lovely Arab-Andalusian garden. We felt right at home, strolling the manicured grounds as if we owned the place! In the evening, don't miss the Michelin-starred La Alquria restaurant or the delightful tapas bar, La Abaceria.

In the small village of Sanlúcar la Mayor, on a hill dominating the Guadiamar river valley, stands the site of the ancient Hacienda Benazuza, the most exclusive hotel in Andalucia.
