Property Description
Locations in the wonderful city of Granada don't come any better than this. Marvelously appointed, this luxury apartment for two has views across to the incomparable Alhambra Palace which are simply sensational. It's so close that you feel you can reach out and touch it.
It's without doubt one of the most prestigious addresses in Andalucía. One of six private apartments in a quiet residential courtyard, it is reached by a leisurely stroll through the enchanting, flower-filled alleyways of the lower Albaicín, just a stone-throw away from the banks of the River Dauro, with the Alhambra rising up dramatically on the other side. All of the windows of the apartment open onto this wonderful view which is even more inspiring at night when the Palace is floodlit. It's magical!
The apartment is every bit as beautiful as the view. It's immaculately furnished, with original works of art everywhere, and some exquisite antiques too. Fully equipped with everything you would expect in such a desirable home, it's also spacious, warm and friendly. The light flooding in from the massive balcony windows adds sunshine to its inherently graceful charm.
The distribution is simple: the doorway from the communal stairway opens directly to the living / dining room with the kitchen to one side, neatly separated off by an archway and bar top. Both rooms have balcony windows looking across to the Alhambra.
A door on the other side of the living room takes you into the master bedroom (where you can enjoy that same view whilst enjoying your breakfast in the sumptuous, antique four-poster bed) and from here an almost invisible door within the beautifully carved, chestnut-paneled rear wall takes you through to a lovely marble, en-suite bathroom.
There's central heating and air conditioning throughout (both are essential in Granada, a city of climatic extremes, very hot in mid summer and pretty chilly in the winter). Communal facilities, shared with the other residents, include an inviting little swimming pool and gardens situated in an enclosed patio at the rear of the building.
Like most ancient cities, Granada is not a place to drive in. Streets are narrow and convenient parking is not always easy to find. It's very much a city to walk in, by far the best way to discover its unique history and enjoy its exuberant street-life.
Moreover, driving within the Albaicín district itself is now restricted to residents only. Collection (and return) to either Granada or Málaga airports can be provided (see the notes, right, for prices). If you do bring a car, you will need to park in one of the city centre car parks as it's now impossible to enter the district without the appropriate permit).
The Albaicín is the heart and soul of Moorish Granada, a rabbit warren of beautiful old houses, famous for their walled gardens, flower-filled walkways and some lovely plazas. It's an area which retains all the romance and character of times gone by. This notwithstanding, the city's main shopping centre, excellent restaurants and a plethora of pavement bars and cafes are all close at hand.
It's a wonderful city and this apartment offers a very privileged opportunity to discover it from within its very heart. One always enjoyed by our clients who have said, "I can't believe that folks aren't queuing up to book such a unique opportunity to wake up each morning to a view of the Alhambra!" and "just to let you know how happy we were with the apartment in Granada, a fantastic location, stunning view, and Sheila and Nicolas were most helpful with everything. Thank you".
