My husband and I had the chance to spend 5 weeks at Casa Don Carlos, a wonderful experience in a beautiful environment. The house is really spectacular and has everything a modern home needs. Being Canadians, we were impressed by the fountains and flowers, Rosita the parrot and guardian of the house, the gardens, the lovely woodwork on the doors, cupboards, etc…it’s called luxury. Our main concern (besides the weather) was safety. With the family so close, the alarm system, the features of the doors/windows and the location of the house, we even managed to make friends with the neighbours, and our concern stopped as soon as we entered the house. On the contrary, we were adopted by the family who were so generous and so helpful. The house is always clean, thanks to Mathilda and Tatiana, Carla’s local cooking was a delight and the help for everything from Carlos was priceless. Everyone in the family participated in our Spanish lessons correcting our errors while trying to keep a straight face as we wrestled with grammar and pronunciation. The house is located close to the action: the market, the parque centrale and the heart of old Granada. Access to buses and tours is easy, and really we had a great stay in Granada complete with the feeling of coming back home every night. Even though we have been back for more than 2 months, we miss the family and the fantastic weather. A really great place for vacation. Many thanks to the Goussen family who made it all happen.
