Photos and Description of this Granada holiday house Tasteful & Spacious, with shared pool, perfect for families & friends all year

Located on the edge of the Albayzín, the ancient Moorish quarter, Casa Mina is a delightful house and garden set in a relaxing environment. Beautifully decorated, with a bright and comfortable sitting room, separate dining room and fully equipped kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, it sleeps up to 7 people. It is minutes from the famous Plaza San Nicolas and a short walk through the cobbled lanes of this ancient district brings you to the unique cave bars of Sacromonte. Exploring the maze of winding lanes further brings you into the heart of the city with its many shops, bars and restaurants and, by foot or by bus, to the breathtaking Alhambra Palace itself. Casa Mina is also within minutes of magnificent countryside - a 15 minute drive takes you to Granada’s spectacular National Park, Sierra de Huetor - and is within easy driving distance to beautiful coastline, breathtaking mountain ranges and,of course, the snow topped Sierra Nevada and its fabulous ski slopes in winter.

Further details for this holiday house rental in Granada, Spain

Coast/Beach, Golf and Skiing: The Costa Tropical of Granada province is only 50 minutes by car (take the A-44 to Motril) and boasts numerous picturesque beaches and coastline including the pretty village of Salobrena and Almunecar, a resort town with many attractive beaches. A little further to the west is La Herradura, famous for crystal clear waters, and excellent watersport facilities, the Punta de la Mona cove (ideal dive site) and Marina del Este yacht harbour, and just beyond, is the naturist beach, Playa Cantarrijan. Two 18 hole golf courses are within thirty minutes of the property. The Sierra Nevada Ski resort, which is located 32 km from the centre of Granada and is only a 45-minute drive from the property, has five months of snow with the ski season normally lasting from the beginning of December until the end of April or beginning of May. It has 61km of ski slopes with 45 pistes and 6 off-piste routes, 2 cable cars, 12 chair lifts and 5 ski lifts.

Airports and travel details: The nearest, increasingly popular airport is Granada international airport about 8km from the city. There are several bus services from the airport to the city centre, (then take a taxi to house), taxis (about 20 Euro) or, alternatively, you can hire a car - 20 minute drive to the house. Malaga international airport is still the main airport in the area; it is a 90 min drive to Granada by car (email for help with directions) or a bus ride away (hourly bus til 9pm from city bus station). To the southeast are the Las Alpujarras chain of ancient villages including Trevelez (highest village in Spain, 90 minutes away), Yegen, Capileira, Lanjaron - the gateway to the Alpujarras and 30 min drive - and Orgiva. For these, take the A-44, direction Motril). Northwest of Granada, Moclin (35 kms) and Montefrio (65kms) are worth a visit, and southwest is Alhama de Granada (45 mins drive). The Sierra de Huetor National Park is 15 mins from the house, best accessed through Alfaca.

Guests Comments : We had a lovely week in your house in Granada. Your house was very comfortable and charming. We enjoyed immersing ourselves in Spanish life and culture. The position of the house enabled us to walk into the Albaycin (The Moorish quarter) to shop and to enjoy the outdoor nightlife in the lively plazas. We also hired a car for the week and drove into the Alpujarras and the Sierra Nevada. On other days we drove to the seaside at Nerja and Almunecar. Thanks to your excellent guides and information we were also able to visit Alhama and the children particularly enjoyed a day at Aquaola Water Park in Granada! (The Young Family, UK). Granada was amazing and your house was heavenly. Thank you so much, we all had an amazing time. Every room was beautifully decorated and very stylish, perfect for a group of girls going away to relax and detox, although there wasn't much of that going on, we managed to fit so much in! (Laura, UK)

Other Activities: Sightseeing, Shopping, picnicing, mountain walking, and much more.

Comfortable Place for Discovering Granada

Woffa Bonn, Germany
Review Submitted: January 13, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
Discription regarding layout and facilities accurate; kitchen equipment modern and complete, living room comfortable and well fitted with Television, Video, audio, and books. Bedrooms and bathrooms including sheets and towels in very good shape; one single bed somewhat hard. Property was well-maintained and perfectly clean; heating functioned well keeping the place cosy during rainy and somewhat colder days. Discription regarding nearby food shops only partly up to date. Place is easily accessible by car; distance from down-town city centre only 25 minutes walk on foot right through Albayzin or 20 minutes by bus from nearby bus stop (operating about every 7 minutes between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m.). Visits of Alhambra, Cathedral, Royal Chapel, Hieronymus Monastery and La Cartuja Monastery as well as Sierra Nevada Mountains region recommended, visit of tapa bar "Taberna Grande" at Plaza Nueva is a must. Very good food served at "Tendido 1" Restaurant in Plaza de Toros. Renting price of property well justified.

Cosy Granada house

Kaylee W. Rinteln, Germany
Review Submitted: September 22, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We loved to stay in this beautiful house which is so well equipped (kitchen stuff, travelling information, books, etc.) and very comfortable. The patio with its large table and parasol was a great place for our extended breakfasts. Granadas historical Albaycin quarter is in walking distance (10-15 minutes), so getting home for siesta was feasible.

Our holiday in Albayzin

Sirkka Helsinki, Finland
Review Submitted: September 8, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We spent almost a week in July in this lovely house in Albayzin. The house is fursnished with a good taste and was nice and cosy. F.ex. exhaustive dinner set and Hi-Fi equipment which was important for our youngest child. There was a handy instruction manual of the house and surroundings which was very helpful. When reservering our holiday, the lady of the house was very helpful and everything went excellently. July is very hot month in Spain, at least for us Finns, but now we´re already longing for another vacation in Granada. We recommend the house warmly.
Regards, Sirkka and Antti with family from Finland

Casa Mia

deepatti Norfolk UK
Review Submitted: August 23, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
My partner and I really enjoyed our stay at this lovely home from home. The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed to ensure a carefree holiday. As we arrived late on Saturday evening we especially appreciated the groceries and wine that were left for us. As for the location we found it peaceful and loved being in such a pretty residential area rather than a typical tourist spot. We also loved being able to stroll down to the city centre through the enchanting Albayzin where we had some lovely meals in it's many restaurants. Some are expensive but many very affordable with great authentic food. A trip to the Alhambra is a must. We hired a car and drove up to the ski resort in the Sierra Nevada, not too busy at that time of year and with fabulous views and wonderful fresh air. We also drove some way into the Alpujarra with it's pretty villages. All in all we felt that casa mia was a great base for exploring the area on foot and/or by car. A holiday to be remembered, we will definately be coming back.

The house was clean. We had problems ............

Review Submitted: June 26, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
The house was clean. We had problems getting to the property. We hired a car from the airport as we wished to drive to the Sierra Nevada during out stay. We tried following the instructions given by the owners, however, in the end we had to hire a taxi to drive in front of us and show us the way. Unfortunately the taxi driver knew the vicinity, but not where the house was and left us on a side road. Fortunately, a very kind Spanish gentleman was able to show us where the property was which was a relief as it was 10.00pm by the time the taxi driver got us to the vicinity and we were getting slightly worried about not find the property at all! It was interesting to note in the guest book that it took one taxi driver 2 hours to find the property rather than the 30 minutes it should take to get there!

The only issues with the house were that there was no steel blind in one double bedroom with only flimsy curtains at the window which meant the street lights outside made the room very light and difficult to sleep and be prepared for the noise of people talking outside and from next door. The walls are very thin and we could still hear them at midnight. We also tried contacting the House Manager on several occasions to confirm our arrival (as requested) and to try and ask a few questions, but nobody ever answered the telephone.

The property could also do with better maps of the area. The Albayzin is a labyrinth of small roads and you could easily get lost. We did manage to find our way around with a basic map we picked up from the airport until we could find a shop with a better map.

Although we had a good time in Granada (it is well worth the trip to the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada) I would think twice about recommending this property. It is out of the way at the top of a very steep hill which was okay for me and my husband, but more tiring for my parents who are in their sixties with bad knee joints!
