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.
My Favorite Hotel in Spain, maybe the whole of Europe
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.......
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.
“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.
“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!.
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!
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.........
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!

"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.
"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.

"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"
Modernismo was directly related to the fortunes that were made around the new Industry and that in Spain gathered around cities. The Spanish Levant, from Barcelona to Cartagena, was at the center of the Industrial Revolution of the end of the XIXth century thanks to the textile industries that were then implemented. The prosperity of the endeavors in the North and East of the country had, however, a lot to do with certain political decisions that resulted in the de-industralization of the South: all the textile industries in Andalucía would be erased, thus, bringing the region to and economic halt. The situation worsen as in the mid of the XIXth century long periods of droughts dreadfully had affected the crops. It was a difficult time in the region and, of course, little economic progress was made.
Modernismo also skipped the Capital (although there is the Longoria Palace), but that is a different story. And just like Madrid had its own exception so did Córdoba: the city had in the architect Adolfo Castiñeyra y Boloix its main and sole Art Nouveau figure. He was the son of a master builder and studied Architecture in Madrid graduating in 1888. Back in Córdoba he was appointed as architect of the City Hall. There he directed the restoration process of the San Pablo church and was also the dean of the Mateo Inurria Arts School.
Castiñeyra left an interesting heritage in Córdoba, a group of Art Nouveau buildings that has nothing to envy the Modernismo in Barcelona. The first one is located in Gran Capitán street where during 1907 the architect built a small Art Nouveau palace. Inspired in Nature’s original shapes, the building has an engraved rose bush running up and down its facade. Then a marvelous iron work closes its brief front garden; the interiors also follow a Nature theme. As of today the building is home to the Municipal Architects Institution and shares the garden with a lovely cafeteria.
The second of his buildings is located in Alfonso XIIIth street with Carbonell y Morand street, right where the old Provincial government used to be. It was built in 1906 and is nowadays a public high school. The building itself was built using some of the fashions of the German Jugendstil and uses also Nature as central theme, being sunflowers the preferred motif, in fact when first inaugurated it was known as the house of the sunflowers (a pity such a name is no more). The reason: enormous sunflowers garnish its arcs and balustrades.
The popular street know as New street or Claudio Marcelo street is another location where Adolfo Castiñeyra exhibited his genius and creative mind. There are at least five buildings with his signature. Five rock solid constructions with amazing cast iron skeletons garnishing their windows. The last piece that I would like to share with you is less popular: you can find some interesting Art Nouveau ornaments in Braulio Laportilla street.
Castiñeyra was not an idle architect and he spread his work also through the rest of the province. Specially in the Pedroches valley, back then an important mining center, thus, an industrial center too. There he would get involved in many constructions but, considering its architectural value, I shall only mention the Casa Cardona, in Fuente Ovejuna.
I almost forgot to mention the Chimeneón (the big chimney) a leftover from the old Carbonell olive oil factory, that nowadays stands alone facing the Malmuerta tower. He built that with his brother the industrial engineer Alberto Castiñeyra y Bolox.
Now, without further ad, it is time for you to see some pictures of what this architect was capable of.
