Property Description

Alhama de Granada is an ancient spa town, built along the edge of a gorge. It is a pretty town and its old quarter, the barrio árabe, dates from Moorish times. The Rough Guide to Andalucía calls it 'one of the unsung gems of Granada province'.

Property Details

Calle Las Parras
This large house is suitable for couples or parties of up to 7. It has been carefully renovated, respecting its original architecture and traditional features. It has attractive beamed ceilings, thick walls and Moorish archways. The furniture is a blend of restored Spanish, old-fashioned English and rustic South African! There is a private patio for dining al fresco, and the spacious split level roof terrace enjoys views of the surrounding hillsides and the town's imposing fifteenth century church, La Encarnación. The house is situated in a delightfully quiet street in the oldest part of historic Alhama, yet the main square, with its shops, bars and restaurants, is a gentle stroll away.

The owners live in Alhama and are therefore readily available both to meet and greet and to help with anything you need during your holiday.
