Delightful rooms surrounding a completely private 3 story private courtyard right below the famous Alhambra make this a special find for travelers. Excellent staff insures a cozy and friendly visit for people of all lands who are visiting Granada. Nestled in a wonderous little world of centuries old alleys right in the heart of the best part of the city, this reasonably priced boutique hotel is one I wouldn't miss for anything.
Just outside the hotel is the open aired square, the gateway to the incredible Alhambra on the mesa above. Great restaurants, good shopping and lots of facinating buildings, cathedrals and streets, all start right here in the square.
One can walk alongside the river which runs under the impressive walls of the Alhambra and dine or snack in open air tables. You can snake up the hill on many side streets to the great park that overlooks the city. From here one has the best possible views of the Alhambra, and behind it, the magnificent Sierra Nevada Mountain range which in winter has a sugary coating of white snow. Sunsets here are truly spectacular and are a nightly social event.
The hosts of the hotel are a wonderful Norwegian couple with many years in the hotel and cruise business who have lovingly restored this building from a true ruin to a special place to stay. The best rooms have a view of the Alhambra from the large beds....now that's an unforgettable pillow treat. Forget the chocolates....
5 stars for a small hotel
