How often do you stay in a hotel and think' this has just about got everything right'? ( How often, when an airline wishes you a 'pleasant' flight do you wonder with Ambrose Bierce "Can such things be?"). Casa de los Migueletes is really beautiful and charming and wonderful all simultaneously. We had some itinerary problems because we had foolishly not understood that the pre-booked tickets for the Al-hambra required us to enter the Nasrid Palaces at the appointed time, rather than the Al-hambra as a whole - it's all in Spanish so beware, and you must now pre-book. We were denied entry having both travelled near 3000 kms from different places specifically to see it. We had to stay on for another day, altering all our tickets and reservations. Nightmare of sorts. Hotel sorted it all out effortlessly for us.
It really is a lovely hotel; I travel a lot and this one of the very, very best 'though not the cheapest. Our room was huge and beautiful - there's no point in having a view of the Al-hambra as it just outside the door and way, way above you. It is not like the Palais Jamais in Fez (the old Govenor's Palace) where the rooms with a view look down over the whole city. Enjoy the building for itself.
Breakfast is a bit minimalistic, if you take it. BUT it gives you the chance to stoke up seriously on fresh fruit - the restaurant cuisine of Grenada seems to be horrendously unhealthy and to my aging system slightly toxic. I have diffiulty digesting fried food after eleven pm.
But mostly thanks to the staff.
