Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2001

My partner and I took a three month Andalusian break from our busy city lives in Paris and London... we fell in love with this region, a perfect cross-roads for travelers: Andalusia with its strong culture, breathtaking and ever changing landscapes ... but also on the doorstep to Africa !

We extended our stay ... a wedding, two children and thousands of new places later, eleven beautiful years have passed ! We are now living in the Albayzin quarter of Granada always searching more special places to share with our visitors !

We hope you'll enjoy all that Andalusia has to offer and you'll want to keep coming back and sending your friends and family too! Christine and Stik

Why the Owner Chose Granada

We love variety and contrasts and Granada is the land of just that, full of history and stories, absolutely fascinating for any art, culture and history lover!

The house is located in the Albayzin (the ancient Moorish quarter) and we've always enjoyed its labyrinth of narrow, cobbled alleyways, offering unique glimpses of the Alhambra Palace between jasmin and bouganvillier bushes.

In the Albayzin you feel like you're in an old andalusian village, a short walk and you are in the countryside with the mountains of the Sierra Nevada (very often snow-capped) looming above - however, at the same time, in 5 mins you can be in the centre of a large city!

The Unique Benefits of this Townhouse

Sitting on the balcony watching the Alhambra again and again... for sunrise, afternoon, sunset and night views of one of the most amazing palaces in the world! Then walking 2 min to the most interesting and lively tapas bars in Spain (Welcome to the world of free tapas !... each drink ordered is accompanied by a free tapa!).

The last stand of the Moorish kingdom, Granada is steeped in exotic history...discover some of its many hidden secrets on your doorstep.
From Granada, in the same day it would be possible to go skiing in the morning and lie on the beach in the afternoon!

    • Wow! What a grande villa Chris & Stik have! My husband and I stayed during our month long honeymoon in Andalucia. By far, it was the most sumptuous of accommodations besting the 4 star hotels! The owners were generous, informative and multilingual. The well appointed villa made exploring the Albayzin hard: we did not want to leave our 'home'! The view of the Alhambra from the two(!) terraces is priceless, breathtaking. Seriously, the Parador de Granada has nothing on the Cooks' villa! Don't miss this authentic, spotless and warm stay.

    • Magnificent and ever-changing views of the Alhambra by day and by night from the spacious upper and lower outside terraces of the house. The neighbourhood's surrounding features of bougainvillea, pomegranate trees, date palms and cypresses and roof-level carmenes all contribute to a sense of quiet in the heart of a unique and ancient urban space. Kitchen, bathroom, dining-room and bedrooms are all comfortable and very well equipped and scrupulously clean. Kind and helpful owners. There is a small food shop five minutes walk away, and within ten minutes' walk downhill through lively streets lined with small shops and cafes and devoid of all traffic except for an occasional motor scooter lie the shops and restaurants of the Plaza Nueva at the city's centre. The atmospheric cave dwellings of the gypsy Sacromonte at roughly the same distance in the opposite direction.

    • Beautiful historic house with amazing view of the Alhambra from the balconies - even better than in the description and stunning at night. In the heart of the atmospheric Albacyin but just a short walk to the City. Perfect

    • We had a lovely time in Granada and the location was ideal for sightseeing and exploring Albayzin and its restaurants, or lazing on the balcony admiring the view. The house was well equipped and comfortable, but only one toilet and 6 adults required some negotiation.

    • The house was even more stunning than the photos and description prepared us for. Beautifully restored original features and furnishings througout and the perfect location for easy walking into the city or out to the Albacyin and Sacromento. The only problem was it was motivating ourselves to go out and explore as it meant leaving the beautiful house and balcony!

    • This is an absolutely great place to stay. The view of the Alhambra is magnificent and we enjoyed having cocktails on the beautiful deck watching the light change on the walls of the Alhambra. The location is superb, the 3 bedroom house is great, the hosts are fantastic!

    • I would like to say thanks for the accommodation in Granada, which we enjoyed very much. We found the house very pleasant, well equipped and very convenient. The decoration is really warm and original and the owners very helpfull and friendly. We had a wonderful break over Christmas. We visited the Alhambra, the Cathedral, and several other historic sites in Granada, and we also visited Cordoba.
