This is the story of my friends Lisa & Jose who started a hotel in Cordoba. Actually, it's more than a hotel: It's a Passion. An Italian-Spanish fusion made Patio del Posadero a reality. Couple at work and in life: Lisa, born in Verona, Italy, and Jose, born in La Escala, Gerona, had a dream: to live in Córdoba and restore an old courtyard house to create the “perfect place”, in which each person who visited it, felt at home. And so it happened, in 2015 Patio del Posadero opened its doors. In this episode, you will hear Lisa discuss heir experiences starting a family-run hotel in Cordoba, Spain. They emphasized the importance of having a clear vision and project, as well as the need to infuse for audacity and creativity. Lisa shared their passion project, a small hotel in Cordoba, and discussed her experiences and challenges, including the red tape to get the place renovated and recognizing when to ask for help. The conversation also touched on the significance of cultural experiences in the hospitality industry, with a focus on preserving local customs and traditions through community involvement. Their success is in their approach to connecting with the local community, highlighting how her restaurant serves as a hub for both locals and tourists to enjoy traditional dishes made with local products.
