There’s an Arabic inscription that captures the essence of Granada in a few words: “There is nothing so sad as to be blind in Granada.” The perspicacity of this declaration becomes obvious as soon as you penetrate the austere walls of the Alhambra and take in the full majesty of the architecture, carvings and fountains of the Nasrid palaces. Your ticket (which should be bought well in advance following the instructions on the attraction’s website) also affords entry to the Renaissance Palace of Carlos V and to the exquisite gardens of the Generalife. If you are celebrating a special event, or are in the market for a splurge, you can stay in the lovely Parador, right on site. Make your way down into the city via the atmospheric old quarter of the Albaicin, with its tiny craft shops and restaurants, and head for the Cathedral and Royal Chapel. Also plan a visit to the crypt for the tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella, the instigators of Spain’s imperial adventures to the New World and beyond. It’s worth making the short journey out of town to visit the Monasterio Cartuja, a fabulous Carthusian monastery in the baroque style. Admirers of the poet Lorca should make the effort to visit the Casa-Museo Federico Garcia Lorca in Fuente Vaqueros, about 11 miles from the city centre.

Ha sido una gran experiencia. Todo se encontraba súper limpio, ordenado y además las personas que nos atendieron siempre fueron súper amables y atentos en que la estancia fuera lo mejor posible. Además puedes encontrar en el apartamento todo lo que necesitas para tener una estancia corta. Sin duda volveremos y lo recomendaremos.

We are located in the natural park of Sierra Nevada in Granada at 1500 meters altitude,10 km from the ski resort and 25 km from the city. 'Telecabina Las Catifas' rural accommodation is composed of seven houses fully equipped to provide our customers an absolutely comfortable stay.
We had such a lovely weekend in this unique and beautiful country hotel in the wonderful Alpujarras. Our host, Enrique, and his crew did everything to make us feel utterly welcome and to make our stay the most exceptional experience. The food served at the restaurant by chef Joaquin is just amazing and we even enjoyed an unexpected flamenco show during our dinner. I totally recommend this place for anyone looking for a special experience. The views are breathtaking!

Were touring through the area and were hungry. Came here by accident and got surprised in a great way. Stunning views on the terrace, great view and very friendly service. Loved it. Good parking place in the shadow. Watched waterplanes training on the lake.

Villa with 4 rooms all comfort. Bathroom private, private swimming pool, relaxing living room with library, DVD, space fitness. Located very near the Sierra Nevada and at 10 min. from Granada. Necessary stop for those which visit Andalucia.
What a wonderful find. I stayed here with my husband for 4 nights as part of our 3 week touring motorcycle holiday around Andalucia and we were very impressed by Villa Madnis. Our hosts were lovely, friendly, welcoming and cared very much for us, clearly they love what they do and it shows. The villa has a lovely covered pool perfect for hot sunny days, with sun loungers and a small garden. There is a large terrace where breakfast is served on sunny mornings, which are a delight including of course true orange juice, homemade pastries, preserves, coffee or tea each breakfast different, Evelyn and Philippe are keen to please. Evening meal is delicious homemade and perfect. There is a large lounge with big comfy sofas, tv, mini bar (reasonably priced) and excercise machine if you wish to use, and for the winter a big fire. Our room was spotlessly clean with a comfy bed and lovely bedding, a large bathroom and spacious shower, all cleaned daily and towels fresh and clean. We had use of a garage for our motorcycle which was brilliant. The local village Padul is close by (too far to walk) provides everything you need if you don't want to go far in the evening, some good restaurants and cafes, our tapas where sometimes only a Euro when ordered with a drink. Evelyne and Philippe were happy to suggest places to visit and show us on our map good scenic routes for our motorcycle (all roads were very good) the Alpujarras is stunning. The Alhambra is amazing and a must see, best to buy tickets in advance. I can not recommend this B&B highly enough it's a truly lovely place to stay. Thank you Evelyne and Philippe we hope one day to return.

If you like unusual, off the beaten path, and totally delightful places, this is for you! Perched on a mountain side above Lanjaron, surrounded by fruit and nut trees with spring water flowing through the property, it is both stunning and comfortable. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, a living area with a cozy fireplace and a pellet stove, and a very comfortable bedroom and bed. Open the bedroom window at night and you’ll fall asleep to the sound of water rushing by! Our hosts were super and our stay was incredibly relaxing. An added bonus, we drank copious amounts of fresh Lanjaron spring water everyday.

Staying in a Cave House had been in my bucket list for 6 years, since I discovered the magical town of Guadix. What even made this experience better was the charming presence of our hosts, Ana and Miguel. They build this house entirely by themselves. We had a great time with them despite our short time there. Ask them for dining and local attractions. Wish we had more time to stay..

Beautiful place with lovely vistas, the tapas are delicious and really good portions. Hamburgers and pizzas are also really tasty and good value. The place has also a swimming pool available for the hotel customers. Would recommend the bar to anybody going to Yegen!

We rent the house out on a self catering basis to groups for family holidays, anniversaries ,weddings ,conferences , speciality groups such as artists ,musicians,photography ,keep fit groups ,yoga and wellness. The property has the benefit of it 's own private chapel, hard tennis court, 30ft long swimming pool ( heated if required),a large old olive mill with seating for up to 100 persons , moorish gardens in the style of the Alhambra and numerous terraces. Minimum stay is 3 nights and the majority stay for 7 nights or more. The property lies in a stunning unspoilt rural location and the end of a pretty valley 30 mins from the coast and 1 hour from the centre of Granada and 1.5hrs from the Sierra Nevada
We had a fantastic time. The palazetto is even better than on the pictures. We felt directly at home by the warm welcome of Brenda She and her husband put so much attention and love in the house that it vibrates warmth and peace. All the rooms are nicely decorated and will arranged, we didn’t feel the best at all. The place is so huge that each one can find a little hideaway to enjoy relaxing moment, While others are sharing or playing. The views and surroundings are breathtaking . The Cook Stephanie, who is the daughter of Brenda, was a real discover The food was healthy and authentic and she ensured that we had everything we wanted this all with a beautiful smile. They also succeeded to find a solution for all our crazy desires. We had an unforgettable week. And we warmly and truly recommend the place for everybody who is looking to find a unique place to gather with a large group of 24 people in Andalusia
