  • Pre-trip communication from owner was terrific. Excellent directions. From where you can park, it is a good 5 minute walk down to the house, so people with disabilities would be hard done to make it. Location is fantastic; you're 5 minutes from the city centre, and 10 ( depending on your walking speed ) from the Alhambra. The house itself was clean and comfortable and everything necessary was there. The bathroom is on the ground floor, which is a pain to get to in the middle of the night from the master bedroom on the second floor, but that's part of the charm of staying in a typical house in the old part of the city. As well, as in many parts of Europe, the hot water tank is not huge. From the terraces, the views of the Alhambra are tremendous, especially when it is illuminated at night. We had friends who live in Granada over, and they were taking pictures with their cell phones, as the view is really top notch. Overall, I would highly recommend this house for anyone who wants to visit Granada, and even more to someone who is interested in experiencing living in the Albaizin. It was safe and centrally located, and the owners are wonderfully attentive.

  • We spent the week of August 28 to September 4, 2009, at this quirky and wonderful home. The "we" in this case refers to four adults ranging in age from 26 to 62. Each of us found a little corner of the casa to call our own and all of us spent lots of time on one or the other of the two terraces; the views are magnificent! We had originally thought that we would treat ourselves to a dinner at one of the carmens for our last night's dinner. However, after eating on our "large" terrace, we couldn't imagine any place more beautiful to spend that last night. We shopped at the shops on the Plaza Larga, which was a delightful, as well as a delicious, experience. Because we had driven to Granada we had to find a place to park the car, which was a bit of a challenge; but, we managed to find spaces in the Albayzin around the wall every time we returned from an outing. Having a car was sort of a bother but it did enable us to take one great day trip to Monachil and the Alpujarra where we did some great walking. We have no reservations in recommending this property. The location is fantastic and the fittings very comfortable. The stairs might be worrisome for people with small children but for us they replaced the Stairmasters we had left at home.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Dear Virginia, Many thanks for your wonderful comments ! We are really glad you liked the house and we hope you'll be back soon ! Saludos de Granada, Christine

  • Christine Cook is amazing, she helped us with every little question and request we had and she was thoughtful and gracious, she really gave us a more relaxing holiday. The house is 3 floors which makes it great for 3 couples because the rooms are each on a different level and you get your own space. Plus it has the added bonus of plenty of common areas inside and on the patios. We however traveled with 3 very young children. I don't think that the Albyzin is young family friendly, while the house itself was good for the family, I would recommend against bringing a 4 year old 2 year old and 1 year old to the Albyzin (btw. Chris tried to worn us) maybe wait 5 years. The view is fantastic. For us this was a once in a lifetime experience and we are very happy that we did it. Thank you Chris and happy travels to you and your family.

  • "The house is beautiful and perfectly positioned to enjoy Granada and the wonderful views of the Alhambra. Everything is as it is in the pictures only better. The owners were some of the nicest we have met in many weeks of travelling. Overwhelmingly courteous and helpful. We had a wonderful stay and are planning a return trip."

  • 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.
