One of four tasteful apartments to rent 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 mins 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 terrace where you can bask in the sun and take in these views. The renovation has aimed to fuse 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.

Guest comments
We just wanted to say that we had an awesome time in Granada! The apartment is lovely and well maintained. The location is ideal and, having stayed there, we have a greater appreciation for the Albaycin. Lisa was especially kind and helpful. She is knowledgeable about the area and very accommodating. We enjoyed talking with her and will return to Granada as soon as time and fortune allow. (Trish & Dan, May 09)
'Thanks for a great apartment, we had a brilliant break! I have to say the beds were really comfortable and the pillows also, which you don't often find in holiday homes! Everything was there for us, and we just loved it.' (Gilly and Arthur, November 07)
Thank you for a very nice stay at your apartment in Granada. It’s a cosy spot and a great location. Particularly liked the roof terrace which we made good use of, even in the middle of winter. (Tim Kaye, January 08)
