Los 10 mejores rentales vacacionales de Jaén

If you are looking for a vacation rental in Jaén, the first thing you should know is that the supply is concentrated in two main areas: the capital and the province. In the city, the most practical thing is to stay near the old town, where the Cathedral, the Arab Baths, and the Arch of San Lorenzo are located. There you will find small apartments, many of them renovated in historic buildings, such as Escondite Real or Estudio Catedral, which allow you to walk to almost everything. The new area, around Avenida de Madrid or Paseo de la Estación, has more space and parking, but you will have to take the car or bus to visit the center. If you are looking for tranquility, the towns of Sierra de Cazorla, Segura, and Las Villas offer vacation homes with garden or fireplace, ideal for disconnecting, although there the range of services is more limited and it is advisable to do your shopping beforehand.

As for prices, the difference between seasons is notable. Between November and February, outside of long weekends and local festivals, you can find accommodations from 65 euros per night, especially in apartments in the center. In spring and autumn, which is when the weather is best for hiking routes or visits to the olive groves, the average price rises to about 174 euros, and during Holy Week or the San Lucas festivals in October, demand drives up rates. If your date is flexible, it is best to book during the week, from Sunday to Thursday, because many owners apply discounts compared to the weekend. It is also worth comparing among the 144 available accommodations, because there is a bit of everything: 123 apartments, 20 entire houses, 9 guest houses, and a villa, with an average rating of 3.6 stars, so do not expect great luxuries in most cases.

To get there, the most comfortable option is the car, because the capital of Jaén is well connected by the A-44 and A-4, and from Madrid or Seville it takes about three hours. The AVE arrives at Jaén station, but then you will need a taxi or urban bus to get around, because the center is about twenty minutes away on foot. Within the city, you can walk without problem, although the slopes are steep; for the province, the car is essential if you want to see Cazorla, Úbeda, or Baeza. Before booking, check if the accommodation has an elevator, because many are in old buildings without one, and confirm if the price includes cleaning, bed linen, or wifi, because it is not always specified. It is also useful to look at recent reviews about noise, especially in the old town, and ask about the entry system: some use a key box or code, and there is no physical reception. Finally, check the cancellation policy, because in tourist homes it is usually stricter than in hotels.
