“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"
"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.
"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.
“Lindo hotel cerca a la mezquita. La decoración es muy moderna y minimalista"
"Excelente"
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.
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.
Hotel tranquille et moderne.
L'accueil est parfait, la localisation de l'hôtel est idéale car à proximité des activités tout en étant très calme. La décoration des chambres est sobre et moderne. Elles sont spacieuses et lumineuses, le tout organisé autour d'un joli patio.
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.......
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.
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!
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!
“Diseño y atención.”
Un lujo tener un jaccuzzi privado para tí.
Nos recomendaron sitios para cenar estupendos. Gracias a las chicas.
My Favorite Hotel in Spain, maybe the whole of Europe
“Lovely, relaxing stay”
We only had one night in this hotel unfortunately. Our room was lovely and the shower and bathroom huge.
“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.
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.........
Cordoba merece un hotel como este. Maravilloso trabajo de rehabilitación para conseguir un espacio único y muy agradable...acogedor...bien climatizado y con espacios higiénicos muy modernos y cómodos. ...buena ubicación y un trato muy simpatico
"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."
A siesta puts on hold the five senses of the body. This habit of napping dates many centuries ago and it is deeply embedded in our country. The term “siesta” comes from the Latin “sesta” as in the sixth hour of the day (between 2 and 4 pm in the afternoon); furthermore, it was a roman habit to rest after a big meal in order to get through the day in a good mood and with renewed strengths.
In Córdoba an official siesta time was decreed. The city ordinance states that, in relation to noises and sound intensity, during Summer time the hours between 3 and 5 pm would have the same consideration as if in at night hours, hence sound levels are not to exceed 55 db.
A few sound benefits from napping:
• It is a relaxing habit that reduces stress levels.
• It helps to rest and clear our mind.
• It enhances creativity, intuition, imagination and our ability to solve problems.
• It slows aging and improves our quality of life as many academic papers have proven the way in which napping can help deal with free radicals.
• It helps us get in a good and positive mood as it resets our current mental state during the day. Thus improving our overall mental health.
• It lowers the risk of a heart attack.
• It enhances physical performance by reducing physical and mental fatigue.
• It helps reduce anxiety levels.
• And it gives us an overall sensation of wellbeing.
But then, how long should a siesta take? In order to fully enjoy the benefits of a siesta the proper and most advisable napping times range from 10 minutes to a round hour, although a short siesta of 15 or 20 minutes plus the mandatory eight hours of good sleep at night is more than enough.
Experts state that if napping accounts for a good deal of benefits making it advisable in adults it is most indispensable in children and old people. That is way this habit is a must in kids under five years of age, so that they can fully develop physically and mentally.
There are numerous countries that have acknowledged the benefits of this Iberian habit nowadays –needless to say it is a habit that goes beyond Spain; Japan and other Mediterranean countries for instance also enjoy napping; however it is better known in the Western hemisphere as a Spanish habit–. Many of the American Republics and other countries around the world that used to be part of the Spanish Empire took on this siesta habit. Something good napping must have when so many different countries in the world practice it so much. Plus there are hotels now in many cities selling rooms by the hour to nap.
Big corporations such as Google have recently made available “siestarios” (napping spaces) in their headquarters for the employees. They call it the power nap, a short nap that ends right before one enters the deep sleep or REM state with the sole intention of revitalizing our whole body, in not so many words: a Siesta.
Characters like Albert Einstein publicly praised this habit. Winston Churchill, for instance, learned it in while in Cuba and was ever since a great enthusiast of napping: during the Second World War while his colleagues and other collaborators were completely exhausted at two in the morning he was still going and more than willing to work endlessly thanks to this little cheat.
Salvador Dalí was also a devoted user, although he was –as expected from such a character– a bit too extravagant. Since he preferred not to take long siestas he developed a curious system: he slept seated –he even suggested and armchair for better results–; and held a key in his hand between his fingers; then relax and fall asleep. When the artist finally fell asleep the key would slip through his fingers making a subtle but sound noise. The artist would wake up inspired from this peculiar siesta. He called this method “Sleeping with a key”.
I would also like to mention the Siesta del carnero (the ram siesta) or canonical siesta, which takes place before lunch. Although less popular it is very common among those who wake up particularly early in the morning and before lunch have already completed their daily work routine.
And that is that. I hope that those of you who have not tried siesta yet are eager to give it a shot now.
