What a place to stay!! Historic viila perched right under Al-Hambra. Perfect location to explore Granada with grapes and figs to pluck in the cool garden and calming swimming pool welcome after a hot day. Host was there to greet us and took plenty of time to explain where to go and what to do. Couldnt ask for more.

Great location. The house is old but was clean and had everything we needed. It was a bit cold in the winter, and our family likes it warm. Great views

This is a really lovely house in an exceptional location. If you need uber modern, steel and marble sleek interiors, this may not be for you but if you want a traditional, comfortable house with a massive amount of outside space right in the city, this is tough to beat. This is a traditional and old property - don’t expect decorative perfection but expect a comfortable, easy stay.We were travelling by car (large MPV) and parked in the Alhambra public car park which I booked online. We walked down, but a taxi is easy to find outside the ticket area. The last 100m is thru a pedestrian area and thru cobbled alleys & stairs. Personally I was fine with this but be aware and maybe pack light. The kitchen is very well equipped and huge. There is a good grocery store close by (down the steps!) so cooking here is very easy.Bathrooms are large and spotlessly clean. The large garden has a pool, loungers etc. There is a washing machine and a dryer which was great for us as we’d been travelling for a while when we got to Granada. Mikel is the property caretaker and was very responsive and helpful. Check in was with the use of a remote unlock of the front gate and a lock box for keys. Views are stunning, house is comfortable and easy to be in. I would absolutely recommend.

Our stay at the villa was the highlight of our trip to Spain! Mikel was extremely helpful before and during our stay. We took advantage of the chef service. Mikel connected us with chef David who was amazing!! Our family has a large number of food restrictions and David found a way to feed us all and introduce us is to many traditional Spanish dishes. The views at the villa are fantastic…well worth walking up all the stairs.

Nuestra Maravillosa Estadía en Granada

Though I did not appreciate the long walk up many steps to get to the front door, once there, the house and views were out of this world fabulous! The gardens and the very close proximity to the Alhambra were magnificent. The house was big enough to accommodate all 13 of us very comfortably. I really recommend it for large families and groups. Mikel was so welcoming, helpful, and provided very valuable advice during ou stay. Highly recommended.

Very disappointed with the villa. Overall very dirty and in need of an upgrade. Excellent location but could not use pool as it was dirty. Very unhappy as the pool was the primary reason why we decided to stay here after our initial villa had to be cancelled due to the pool issue. The rooms were very dusty, dead bug on the living room sofa, and so cannot understand why there would be a cleaning fee as the villa has not been cleaned properly. No netting to help with the mosquitoes. The TV including netflix, amazon and apple TV did not function. Looking at the other reviews this villa simply did not live up to our expectations. The views are great but I could have simply walked to a mirador for this and whilst not our first choice it was not worth the money paid and had we known about these issues we would have chosen elsewhere.

Rustic Charm But Not Easy To Get To

The villa has great rustic charm and a very convenient location near Plaza Nueva, the cathedral, and surrounding neighborhoods. The pool is great to cool down in the afternoon. The house does not have any air conditioning or ceiling fans - there are some table/floor fans. It’s cooler in the mornings and evenings, but the villa is very stuffy in the afternoon. The biggest issue is getting to the villa — it is a HIKE up many many steps. I work out 5 days/week (lift weights and run) and I was a sweaty mess and out of breath walking to the house with a carry on bag. I had to carry my kids’ (10 and 14) carry-on bags too because they couldn’t make it all the way. Be prepared for a hike up to the house, the significance of which we did not fully appreciate from the description.

Beautiful authentic Carmen but is tired and just needs some work on it to make it even better. For example the patio rattan furniture needs new cushions and both coffee tables are broken. Perhaps clean around the pool area to remove debris and leaves and paint some of the outdoor walls. Blinds are getting difficult to open and close. However this Carmen is utterly wonderful and it's huge. Beds are very comfortable and bathrooms spotless. Please note no shampoo which is listed as being provided.Kitchen is great and very well equipped. We loved having the clavinova and the views from that room are truly wonderful.The pool is very refreshing however it kept going green which was a little unnerving. Thank you to Mikel for doing his best to sort.Location is fabulous but be prepared for the climb! Overall we thought this place was wonderful and would highly recommend it for a family stay.
Perfect vista from the front terrace.

STUNNING, sprawling and special

This villa is SUREAL!!!! It literally feels like an enchanted estate - the type of place artists or poets would live for inspiration. The views from this property are INCREDIBLE- you would get your money’s worth from these alone. We tried to photograph this place, but could not fully capture its magic. The location is also EXCELLENT in a great shopping/food area with a taxi station in the plaza below.Our family group included ages 18 to 83 years and the property suited our needs perfectly. The host and Mikel are friendly, professional and responsive - 10/10!The Villa is on a hillside - SO worth the steps up. The private entrance opens into a multi-level garden with twists and turns, seating niches, sculpted shrub tunnels and exotic flowers. An al fresco dining terrace offers branch-framed views of the city. A flowing water feature with huge lilies embellishes the ancient wall beside steps down to a clean pool - a great relief after the trip up in the summer heat. This entire garden/terrace/pool area is private to the villa!And that’s just the OUTSIDE. The inside is equally impressive. First and foremost, it was clean, clean, clean! All of the bedrooms had soft beds with puffy white duvets and huge windows that catch the breeze and have great views. There is an interesting library with a keyboard and guitar, fireplace and family sitting area, which opens onto an outdoor dining porch overlooking the city. Too many special features to name!Magical and memorable!!!!
