Ardea Purpurea
Doñana... Seville... Ardea Purpurea is surely one of the most unique hotels in the province of Seville and the Doñana region, due to its typical construction details of the area and general characteristics. It is nestled in the middle of nature and with a privileged location, at the very gates of the Doñana National Park, 35 km from Seville and about 70 km from Huelva. With a typical marshland construction, which perfectly combines tradition and natural resources, the symbiosis of wrought iron and wood, castanet ceilings and elegant decoration... all of this creates a spectacular setting for our establishment.
