Home life
Rodrigo and his wife were amazing hosts. Kind, considerate, helpful! The apartment was perfect- we loved it. Many thanks!

Country house with pool 15 km from Granada
We had a great week with our family at Philippe's house. The house is nestled in the beautiful nature overlooking the reservoir and the mountains of the Sierra Nevada, which are still snow-covered in our time. You live there in harmony with nature and can discover a lot. Our kids really enjoyed the garden and especially the pool. From there, we took many beautiful excursions to Granada (Alhambra) and also up into the mountains and felt very comfortable.

calle del torcal CARD
Francisco is a lovely person. He welcomed us very friendly. She told us how to get around the area and where to go. The apartment is very nicely located ,has spectacular views. It is a simple apartment that has everything you need to spend a few days in a good location.

Great house with Alhambra views. Mirador de los Reyes
This place is fantastic. We were 3 couples and we all had plenty of room. It’s beautiful and well appointed. The rooftop terrace has the best view of Alhambra. Our host was very attentive and helpful. She sent plenty of information that was very helpful prior to our check in. If you arrive by car you need to park in a lot 1km from the place. She gave us great instructions. From there you need to taxi or walk in. No big deal, but 2 taxis refused to take us in to the narrow street. So they may drop you 100 meters and you just walk in from there. The neighborhood is very picturesque and there is a grocery very close. Easy (but hilly) walk into town. The flat is 4 levels with lots of stairs. This was not a problem for us, (we enjoyed the privacy the different levels provided) but if you have trouble with stairs this is probably not the best choice. All in all I say “yes!!” this is a great place. Plan ahead if you want to visit Alhambra. You need to buy entry tickets well in advance online.

NEW, "Villa Granada Garden" Pool and Barbecue
The accommodation is as advertised, an incredible villa with all the services described. Ideal for getting to know Granada and its surroundings with friends or family. Carlos is a fantastic host, very attentive and always available for whatever we needed. 100% recommended.

Luxury apartment, Pradollano Views, Garage
Lovely stay, great place!

Nazarí Lucena Cathedral Apartment + Free Parking
Ani does an amazing job giving directions. Her place can be tricky to get to, but she is incredibly proactive in giving very detailed directions on getting both to the parking and the apartment. The apartment is exactly as described with shopping and restaurants nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Ani is a fantastic host. I highly recommend her place of you're in Granada.

Country House, Jerez del Marquesado
It exceeded my expectations. I booked this house by mistake thinking it would be close to another area I wanted to visit and I don't regret anything. Thanks to that I have discovered Jérez del Marquesado, which has a beautiful trail overlooking Sierra Nevada, and the house is next to a few more rural houses that share a terrace. A ditch runs along the same terrace and the house has a lawn area where my dog has been playing. We were super comfortable and Encarna's service is premium, every little detail is covered. I highly recommend it.
