My adult son and I just returned from a week's holiday in southern Spain, during which we stayed at this lovely accommodation. We have only good things to say about it. The staff emailed promptly when we booked our rooms, responded via email to every question, and generally gave us a very warm and hospitable welcome. Amparo greeted us at the door, helped my son move our luggage indoors, then went with me to the underground private carpark. I was especially frazzled, as I'd driven from Cordoba that morning, and was now on single-track cobbled roads in one of the old sections of town, but Amparo made me feel at ease and reassured me as I parked the car. As we checked in, I noticed the reception/sitting area looked cosy and comfortable. The staircase to the rooms is sweeping and grand, but the owner has also installed a wonderful little elevator - perfect for those whose knees protest too much after a long day's walk. Amparo even made us a mid-afternoon coffee and got a croissant - very welcome after a missed lunch (and directly before our hammam experience!). Amparo, David, and Fatima were uniformly excellent: warm, welcoming, informative, and helpful. Despite our late request, they managed to book us a private tour of the Alhambra and Generalife with an excellent guide (Santiago) - one of the many highlights of our short stay in Granada. Monica in the cafe at breakfast was superb - I'm not great with Spanish, but she was very patient with me. Breakfast was excellent also - neither of us could get one of all that was offered, the offerings were so plentiful. The croissants are enormous!! The tomato spread and olive oil were excellent on the toast, and of course, the hams and cheeses were divine. As were the fresh-made juices, coffee, and teas we tried. Another component of breakfast was a sweet bread or pastry, but neither of us could make it to that part, the earlier portions were so monumental! The accommodations were absolutely delightful. It's clear the owner who purchased the building and turned it into this fantastic 6-room hotel put her heart and soul into the design and decoration of all the rooms and public areas. I stayed in the Italian room while my son stayed in the Chinese room. Both were gorgeous representations of those cultures. The Italian room has a balconette, sofa and chair, ornamental fireplace, desk/workspace, washer, kettle, and mini-refrigerator in the sitting area, A bidet accompanies the toilet in the bathroom, and the bath is indeed a bath and shower combination - delightful for a soak when you've tired yourself out walking all over this charming town!! The bathrobe was comfortable, as was the bed. Ample closet and drawer space is provided in the bedroom. The Chinese room is smaller but also has comfortable bedding, clothing storage space (hanging), a bidet on the toilet, a kettle, an ornamental fireplace, as well as a shower. A side note: the wifi worked spectacularly well - I run my own business, so must wo
