One of four tasteful apartments in a restored 18th century listed townhouse/carmen. Located as close as possible to the city centre whilst still being in the Albayzin, the charming old Moorish quarter of Granada, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Within 5 minutes walk of Plaza Nueva where shuttle buses depart every few minutes up to the Alhambra. The central location means you are also a short walk from numerous bars and restaurants. The apartment has spectacular views south of the Alhambra and Sierra Nevada mountains, and a private torreon terrace where you can enjoy the sun and take in these views. The renovation has fused 18th century charm with 21st century comfort and style providing you with air-con/heating, WiFi internet access, powerful walk-in shower etc. There is even an Arabic bath in the master bedroom to soak in after a hard day sightseeing or skiing, something few apartments in Granada offer. Parking arranged 33 euros per week. Babysitting service available.

Accessibility
Please be aware that the Albayzin is a maze of narrow cobbled streets and steps built on the side of a hill. The apartment is in the lowest part of the Albayzin closest to the true centre of town which is Plaza Nueva. But it is still a five minute walk uphill from the centre which some people may find difficult.
Outside
The apartment has private access to the torreon, a traditional roofed terrace which is found at the top of most carmens in the Albayzin. The sun streams in through the open windows during the mornings and evenings and almost all day during winter. Whilst the roof keeps you shaded from heat of the midday sun in summer.
Coast/Beach
45 mins drive to the beaches of Granada´s Costa Tropical.
Golf
Two 18 hole golf courses within 30 mins drive of apartment. The City of Granada golf club and the brand new Santa Clara golf club boasting the longest course in Andalucia.
Skiing

Guest comments
'Finally at last i have got round to writing to tell you how much we all enjoyed our stay at your apartment it was absolutely fantastic. My daughter Sara enjoyed so much her 21st birthday and everyone who called to apartment was much impressed by it. May I also say that your manager was very nice. I would have no hesitation in recommending your property to my fellow colleagues.' Carol Ann Lindores (May 2007)
Sorry this is late but I really wanted to thank you and Lisa for making us all feel welcome, the apartment was great, and all the information sent before our stay made every thing nice and simple. Having breakfast on the roof terrace in October was such a bonus. S. Tyrie (Oct 2009).
We had a lovely weekend in Granada, and it was made so by the comfort and convenience of the apartment. It was perfect for our needs and we will be recommending it to our friends and work colleagues. Thanks for such attention to detail and organisation in terms of our reservation. R. White (May 09).
