“Diseño y atención.”
Un lujo tener un jaccuzzi privado para tí.
Nos recomendaron sitios para cenar estupendos. Gracias a las chicas.
“Lovely, relaxing stay”
We only had one night in this hotel unfortunately. Our room was lovely and the shower and bathroom huge.
"For design and atmosphere lovers"
Viento10 is a perfect place to explore Cordoba. All sightseeings in walking distance. The hotel has a great architecture, rooms around a "patio". Room 7 spacious and stylish. Parking easy and close. Gerardo and his team gave us a warm wellcome and a delicious breakfast.
“Un diseño moderno y altamente confortable”
La atención personalizada de los dueños y todo el staff es impecable.
El desayuno es una explosión de sabores.
Hidden Gem
This hotel was such a special surprise. It was hidden away on a tiny cobblestone street in the quietest part of town. Immaculately clean with wonderful personal hospitality and beautifully decorated. I would stay there again with pleasure. I had a wonderful breakfast on departure day.
Peaceful and beautiful.
Very central in Cordoba, peaceful, calm, beautiful room, friendly staff, lovely stay. Its not v obvious and chintzy which some places in Cordoba can be. Next time we will plan ahead and ask for the meditation session too.
"A fantastic renovation"
So cool. Whitewashed rooms with stained concrete floors. Simple modern furnishings. Great rainforest shower with frosted glass doors. Lots of natural light. Interior courtyard with a lounge. Pretty table setting for breakfast - coffee, homemade cake, toast with olive oil, tomato and shaved Iberico ham. Very friendly staff... Highly recommend this beautiful place.
My Favorite Hotel in Spain, maybe the whole of Europe

Es un hotel muy tranquilo, bien ubicado. El trato excelente y el desayuno, inmejorable. Las habitaciones tienen buen tamaño, con camas cómodas. Todo está muy limpio y mimado, hasta el olor, muy agradable por las flores que decoran el hotel. Muy recomendable.
perfect stay in cordoba. Beautiful quite place in centre of Cordoba with very gentle, even "zen" owner. Design hotel room Excellent "fresh" breakfast Private parking space nearby. All you need for a beautiful stay in Cordoba!
la perfection.Petit hôtel parfaitement décoré de façon moderne tendance zen. Chambre spacieuse calme grande. Un propriétaire parfait disponible et attentionné , le meilleur petit déjeuner pris dans un hôtel en Espagne. Nous sommes repartis enchantés. Seul bémol , il est très difficile de trouver le même hôtel dans une autre ville, on est déçu après avoir séjourné dans cet endroit.......
kleines, tolles hotel. Ganz persönlich geführtes Hotel, in einem historischen Gebäude modern interpretiert. Sehr geschmackvoll, sauber und ruhig. Zu erwähnen ist das gesamte Personal, welches bei Empfehlungen für Restaurants und anderen Fragen immer tolle Tipps gegeben haben. Die Zimmer sind sehr unterschiedlich. Wir hatten ein sehr kleines, kuscheliges Zimmer im 1. Stock. Für drei Nächte völlig ausreichend. Bei Temperaturen um 40 Grad haben wir die kleine Dach-Terrasse leider nicht genießen können, sonst ein toller Ort, um mal zu relaxen. Alles in allem ein schöner Aufenthalt. Danke an Carmen , Gerardo und sein Team!
“Lindo hotel cerca a la mezquita. La decoración es muy moderna y minimalista"
Luxurious hospitality. When we got to Córdoba it was 108ºF and we could not be more miserable. Then we walked into Viento 10 and Gerrardo, the owner, greeted us with refreshing lemonade and a friendly conversation, exactly what we needed. The rest followed suit, with his recommendations for restaurants and the beautiful room and amenities, which included access to a spa.........
"Se respira un ambiente relajado y tranquilo cuando traspasas la puerta del hotel. Excelente hotel para una escapada a Cordoba, detalles cuidados, desayuno y habitación perfectos. Volveremos."
“CARMEN ES EL ALMA DEL HOTEL.”
Sinceramente, nuestra experiencia en el hotel fue fantástica gracias a la impecable atención de Carmen, su encargada de recepción. Un placer haberte conocido!.
"La atención fue excelente.
El diseño del hotel inmejorable.
La ubicación, sin estar en el centro, era perfecta a la hora de comer, cenar o tomar una copa"
Enrique Guijo was born in Córdoba in 1871, son of a carpenter who died when he was only 14. This forced him to quit school and then work. Chance took him to the Triana ceramists where he had the first encounter with the trade in which he would later be an expert.
Along with his wife and his newly born daughter, Guijo settled in Madrid (Travesía de la Parada 7) in 1898, by then he was already an expert ceramist. Soon he begun working with Francisco Álvarez Osorio, Ignacio Calvo y Narciso Sentenach, with whom he put together a kiln.
In 1907, advised by his friend Daniel Zuloaga, also a ceramist, Enrique Guijo traveled to Talavera with the sole idea of reproducing old Talavera ceramic works. He carried out tests in the pottery of “El Carmen” where Ruiz de Luna Rojas, photographer and ceramic painter, worked. The negative from Emilio Niveiro, director of the pottery of “El Carmen”, to hold the fabrication of ceramic using the old Talavera technique resulted in Juan Ruiz de Luna Rojas, Platón Páramo, Juan Ramón Ginestal and Enrique Guijo Navarro creating a society to that end. They named the pottery “Nuestra Señora del Pardo” (Our Lady of el Pardo), Saint of Talavera, as the grand opening took place the same day in which Our Lady of el Pardo is celebrated: the 8th of September (1908). That day begun the renaissance of the Talavera ceramic. It was a time of beginnings and first achievements that lasted until 1915, year in which Guijo would go back to Madrid.
The times of splendor of the Talavera ceramic, long forgotten by 1907, had reached its peak with tile work of the El Escorial Monastery commissioned by Felipe II (Philip II). Enrique is nowadays considered the great restorer of Talavera ceramic.
After the dissolution of the society he formed in Talavera with Ruiz de Luna, Guijo worked a few years in a establishment in Mayor street as subsidiary for Ruiz de Luna and, then, in 1920 opened his own pottery in Carabanchel, where, among others, worked the exquisite apprentice Alfonso Romero Mesa. Romero and Guijo made the famous ceramic works of the old Villa Rosa, in Santa Ana square, around 1928. The following year Romero would start his own pottery.
Along with Alfonso Romero, Juan Ruiz de Luna y Rajel, all of them born in Andalucía, he decorated many commercial establishments in the early XXth century. They even worked together in the famous tile of “Los Gabrieles” Tavern, opened in 1920 and considered by many as the “Sistine Chapel” of commercial tiles. The place had for a long time the honor of being a meeting point for the aristocrats and the bourgeois. Inside we find Enrique Guijo’s mural of the skeletons’ rumba, inspired by the work of Jerez painter Carlos González Rajel.
Other important work by Enrique Guijo was the facade of the Bakery House in Plaza Mayor that he made in 1914 and that was later, in 1992, replaced by Carlos Franco’s work. He also did ceramic advertisements in the metro station of Chamberí, the Egg shop and the Juanse Pharmacy in the popular neighborhood of Malasaña. Guijo also took work from Mariano Benlliure and Joaquín Sorolla.
In 1926 he was appointed curator in the Municipal Museum of Madrid, to which the artist had previously donated its ceramic works, key and foundation for the section dedicated to pottery in this museum. The director then was his dear friend Manuel Machado who said about Guijo:
“Enrique Gujio, a Renaissance soul, curious about all arts, never renouncing to ceramic nor the fascinating and yet terrible viper that is always the kiln, went away to explore and expanded his art into other applied and luxury arts: architectonic decoration, furniture, ébániste, artistic forging... ”
Although both Madrid and Talavera town-halls had long ago approved to name a street after this great and ignored artist, to this day Enrique Guijo is nowhere to be found among their streets. Enrique died forgotten and almost blind in 1945, though, academics don’t quite agree on the exact year of his death.
