CHARMING HOUSE IN THE ARABE ALBAICIN NEIGHBORHOOD (MAGNIFICENT VIEWS TO THE ALHAMBRA)

Large house (150 m2), ideal for 4 people, with central heating. It has a large kitchen (6 people can eat comfortably in it), fully equipped (fridge, stove, oven, full kitchen utensils, washing machine, etc. It has two bedrooms with double beds, a bathroom and a bathroom, large living room (more than 30 m2) with sound chain. There is internet connection. It has a large terrace overlooking the Alhambra, the mountains and the neighborhood in 360 degrees, without visual obstacles. Optionally you can have a baby cot. It is a traditional house, with stairs, so it is NOT APPROPRIATE FOR PEOPLE WITH DIFFICULTIES IN THEIR MOBILITY
 There is no passage of cars
The Albaycín is a neighborhood of great personality, which gives one of the greatest hallmarks of Granada. Located on a hillside facing the Alhambra. It is configured by a network of narrow and labyrinthine streets where it is easy and suggestive to walk; streets that overlook small hidden squares, full of atmosphere.
The house is decorated in the old style, with wooden ceilings.
Due to its special characteristics, only babies and children from 12 years old are allowed


ACCESS: taxi and bus.
The Albaicin is a neighborhood of Arab origin, so there are narrow streets with difficult access to cars.
I recommend leaving the vehicle in a car park in the center of Granada and getting in a taxi (the first time).
IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER WITH THE CAR TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THERE ARE FEW PARKING OUTSIDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PARK IN PARKS IN THE CENTER OF THE CITY AND UP IN TAXI
There is good bus service.
To find parking, we explain where the nearest one is and how to get there (we provide the coordinates).
Coordinates: 37. 180138, -3. 592899
The neighborhood has many pedestrian streets, so it is advisable to move inside walking

TIPS TO SEE: Tourist visit to Granada and the Alhambra, the Albaicín, Sacromonte (with its caves-dwelling), bars and restaurants in the city.
Sierra Nevada (skiing, hiking) at 30 Km, Beaches at 60 Km.
It has very interesting surroundings: cities like Guadix (famous for its cave-dwellings), Loja Las Alpujarras from Granada, the Lecrin Valley. And a little further, Cordoba, Jaen and Seville.
Granada is typical for its 'tapas' in bars.
And if you like flamenco, you can enjoy its 'zambras', an approach to granaino flamenco
Proposals of the owner:
• Visit the Alhambra (it is recommended to book in advance), it is possible to make a night visit.

Authentic stay in the Albaicin
Our 2 week stay in Victoria's house in the old quarter of Granada was amazing. The view from the living room window and roof-top deck of the Alhambra was fantastic. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, and the beds were very comfortable. The house was conveniently located to explore the Alhambra, Sacramonte and downtown.

A wonderful house to experience Granada
Like the neighbourhood of Albaicin and the city of Granada, this house has many wonderful layers and textures to enjoy. From the dark wood and tile of the kitchen, up through the atrium to the bedrooms and sun-filled salon to the brilliant rooftop, each stair and turn reveals a new sight or object of interest. The views of the Alhambra, Sacromonte, neighbourhood and city are varied and breathtaking on a bright day. The house is well equipped and lovingly decorated. (It even has a sharpening stone for the kitchen knives). The area is quiet and restricted from vehicles but very close to attractions, restaurants and services. The hosts were very helpful in meeting us and providing information and assistance that enhanced our stay. We would gladly stay here again.

Amazing terrace
We had colds while in Granada, so being able to soak in the sun and views from the terrace was perfect.

Wonderful house
We stayed here for a month in February and had a great time. The house is in the old quarter of Granada and within walking distance of the town centre and other tourist attractions - the main one being the Alhambra which you can admire from the terrace of this house and from the lounge windows. Victoria says in the description that you cannot approach the house other than on foot, we would recommend that any luggage you bring you can carry without too much trouble as the cobbled streets in this area are not good for suitcases with wheels!

Best view of the Alhambra in Granada
Victoria was very responsive and helped us with recommendations. We loved the central location and the charming apartment had all the necessary amenities. We had a spectacular view of the Alhambra from the roof-top patio.

Fantastic place!
Such a perfect home to stay in Granada! The view of the Alhambra was amazing from the rooftop patio! You can also see the Sierra Nevadas, and a great deal of both the old city and the new. The house was super clean, and the beds were very comfortable. Loved the many antique items displayed throughout as well as the other decor. It’s a perfect location for walking to see everything. We were all over Albaicin, up to Sacramonte, and down into the city center! Victoria was an awesome host! She met us and showed us the house as well as checked on us throughout our stay. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Granada!!

Super central, clean, historic, nice ambience and outrageous views of the Sierra Nevada and the Alha
This house is very central to sites in the Albaicin. All major historic sites are walking distance. Even the Sacromonte caves are just a 20-minute walk from the house. As with all homes in this area, be ready for lots of sloped streets and stairs. The streets are narrow and paved with cobblestones, so bring sturdy walking shoes. I saw a couple of women walking in heels and they looked absolutely miserable, especially on the downhill stretches. The house is split up over several floors, so there will be stairs to climb. The ground floor has a well-equipped kitchen, 1/2 bath, and washing machine. The next floor up has 2 bedrooms, the main bath and an indoor sitting area with nice views of the Alhambra. The third floor has a private area that it closed off, and the fourth floor is a lovely rooftop patio. The rooftop patio, with its fantastic views of the Alhambra is what sets this house apart. It did get a bit tiresome having so many stairs in the house, but that is the nature of staying in an old house in a historic area. We LOVED to patio and used it to have most of our meals. There are several nice touches throughout the house and the beds were super comfy. We slept soundly most nights. The only exception was the night the garbage was collected. The garbage crews use special mini-trucks to enter the Albaicin and make quite a racket as they travel through the streets and navigate the various steps and slopes.

lovely stay
The house is lovely in the charming historic district of Albaicin. The roof terrace has amazing views of the Alhambra and all Granada, it's a beautiful spot, well worth the many stairs! The beds are really comfy, the kitchen is well stocked with all the equipment you could need. This is a lovely base for a holiday in Granada, but you do need to be fit, as a short walk can involve lots of climbing hills. Victoria is a welcoming host and answered any questions promptly before the visit. She was away during our visit and her friend kindly met us and walked us to the house from the meeting point. The house is well positioned for touring the Albaicin district, but please be aware there are lots of hills and steep steps here, and pack your suitcase light. The walk into the centre is downhill and takes 10-15 minutes, there are plenty of bars and restaurants locally and throughout the city, beautiful squares to stop and watch the world go by and some amazing architecture. You will need to book Alhambra tickets well in advance, only guided tours were available 10 weeks in advance, but we were so glad we had an excellent guide and were amazed by the beauty of Alhambra and Generalife. We had a wonderful 4 night stay during Holy Week, but if you visit at the same time, be aware that the roads close early most evenings for the processions and you will have to walk back up the hill as there is no transport. Thank you Victoria for letting us stay in your home for a wonderful stay, we hope to return to Granada soon

Most magnificent patio in the world!
Loved staying in Victoria's house in the Albaicin! It was great to have the whole house to ourselves. Victoria met us and showed us around as planned, and then the house was ours to enjoy, and enjoy we did! We had breakfasts and afternoon cheese fests and late evening wine and cheese on the upper patio with the Alhambra all lit up! It was absolutely gorgeous! Everything was nice...the shower, the kitchen, the bedrooms. Plenty of room for a family, even though we were just 2 people! It was convenient to the Alhambra and the old Arab neighborhood and other Granada sites. We were close to a flamenco restaurant called Jardines de Zoraya that was super fun to watch! The garden restaurant there is also really nice to relax in in the afternoon. Thanks, Victoria, for your hospitality!
