Restored as a family home, Grenadino has been lovingly rebuilt using local materials and techniques. Yet not lacking in any modern luxuries. Waking under the original beamed ceilings, breakfast on the roof terrace will take your breath away. Later a glass of wine by the plunge pool under the pomegranite tree in the courtyard is unforgettable.

Accessibility
Part of the charm of the arabic quarter are the narrow winding lanes. This means that this is area is completely free of traffic, quiet and tranquil a proper get away from it all. Unfortunately this coupled with the fact that the house is on three levels makes the house unsuitable for wheelchairs.
Outside
Verdant private inner courtyard, with lemon, pomegranite, kumquat and olive trees. Potted herbs abound, great for cooking local produce. Heated plunge pool (sits four) perfect for relaxing on Andalucian summer days or nights. Wonderful outside dining, at old mosaic Moroccan table under fruit laden pomegranite tree.
Panoramic roof terrace, fully equipped with great gas bbq, fridge, sink. Dine from the mosaic Moroccan table under fruit laden vines or just lounge around and enjoy day or night.
