A most unusual house converted from an old ruined convent into a 18-bedroom family-run hotel.Today it is an eccentric mix of the fashionable and the bohemian, from the clientele to the atmosphere of the place, which is more like a private house than a hotel. Guests can mingle or not as they wish, dine with other guests or dine alone in some quiet corner of the garden. There is a very informal ambiance at Trasierra; there are no telephones, televisions or minibars. Breakfast is set out until noon and guests come in their robes and help themselves. They stay and chat with other guests or take a tray to their own patio or to the pool. Yoga and massage are available. There is no dress code; one can dress at any level from casual to smart. Charlotte's attractive children help in the running of the house and her daughter Gioconda, who trained in Italy, is the fabulous chef. The house lies one hour from Seville and two hours northwest of Córdoba. There is a small shop selling local delicacies including George Scott´s exquisite pata negra jamon, olive oil and marmalade, as well as honey from the estate.
