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.

Holiday in Granada

This is a very interesting house to stay in. In a fabulous area of Granada. We enjoyed exploring the narrow streets and getting lost numerous times. The house was comfortable and there was everything we needed. The roof terrace was amazing with wonderful views across to the Alhambra. Thanks to Victoria for welcoming us to this delightful place.

This house is one of the most charming and interesting places that we have stayed at. I loved the decor and discovered new things everyday. You can easily feel immediately at home. Getting around is not hard once you get used to the neighborhood. You should not, however, have significant physical impairment. The property is not in immediate reach by automobile.

Wonderful place to stay in Granada

By far the most spectacular place we have stayed in Spain, this house in the Albaycin neighborhood has it all: wonderful views, interesting architecture, fabulous decor, and breathtaking daytime and nighttime views of the Alhambra (to which no picture can do justice). Despite the close proximity to the town center, we found it a quiet and pleasant place to sleep at night, as well as an enjoyable place to have a late night rooftop drink after a full day of walking, sightseeing, or shopping, to unwind while taking in the view. The interior stairway (which makes it a "carmen") might make this a tough place for those with mobility issues, but for those who are active it posed no problem and contributes to the "wow" factor. Highly recommended.

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.

Exceeded my expectations - a fantastic place!

This triplex house is situated right in the Albaycin - one of the most ancient and historic parts of the city. The house itself is beautifully furnished and quintessentially authentic to the charms of the region and the style. It was cool, spacious and beautifully maintained. The best part is the deck - a huge, planted terrace overlooking the Alhambra and all the surrounds, with birds singing and musicians strumming below. Victoria was very helpful and responsive and because she was out of town when I arrived, had a friend meet me to greet and show me around the house. Extremely receptive to questions and very friendly. If you are looking for beauty and regional authenticity with a gorgeous view of the city, this is the place for you. Be aware that this part of town is steep and requires walking, so it's for those who love to travel by foot. But that is really Granada as a whole. Thanks Victoria for a remarkable experience.

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

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!

Super Haus mit einmaliger Sicht auf die Alhambra

Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und traditionell spanisch eingerichtet. Es liegt in dem vom Weltkulturerbe geschützten Viertel Albaycin, das nachts sehr ruhig ist. Von der Terrasse hat man einen fantastischen Blick auf die Alhambra und über die Stadt. Das Haus ist nur fußläufig erreichbar, allerdings halten Taxis oder Busse in nicht großer Entfernung. Wir haben die Tage in dem Haus sehr genossen!

Traditionell gemütlich spanisch wohnen

Das Haus ist total gemütlich, traditionell eingerichtet mit absoluter Wohlfühlgarantie. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man benötigen könnte. Die Abende auf der Terasse mit einem Glas Wein und Blick auf die Alhambra bleiben unvergesslich. Die Vermieterin Victoria kümmert sich rührend und ist gut erreichbar. Aufgrund der historischen Gegebenheiten ist dieses Haus nur über enge Gassen und Treppen erreichbar. Was jedoch den Charme des Viertels ausmacht. Wir kommen gerne zurück. Granada ist großartig.

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.

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!

The views from the terrace!

What a charming home in the ancient Albaicín neighborhood - but the view of the Alhambra from the terrace steals the show! Whether for breakfast, or wine at sunset, or for one more stop before bed to see the Alhambra in its glory of lights, the home’s terrace offers unbelievable vistas! The neighborhood has some interesting and delicious restaurants - our favorite El Trillo, and such an easy walk home. The house is quiet and 10-15 minute distance to the main tourist spots. Be sure get your tickets to tour The Alhambra in advance of your trip- and getting the privately guided tour from a company is well worth the investment. As others have pointed out, the home is in a historic neighborhood, and you must pull your luggage through steep stone passageways - you can not drive to the door. The house is spread on several floors with a roof top terrace so keep that in mind if mobility is a concern. The views compensate for the challenges. Victoria is a friendly and helpful host! Thank you for the warm welcome to Granada!
