Beautiful house to rent in tranquil Albayzin location, with garden and patio

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.

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!
