Casa Azul
This recently restored cottage is in the old Arab Quarter of Alhama de Granada, very close to the beautiful 15th century Queen’s hospital and the impressive Church of the Incarnation which can be seen dominating the whole town from a distance. It is also a very short walk to the edge of the gorge with its breath-taking views.
Casa Azul is perfect for a couple searching for a quiet escape - sometimes the only sounds to be heard are the bells of the sheep and goats as the local shepherd brings them past the end of the road on their way back from grazing in the gorge, and the delightful contrast of the chiming church bells.
The accommodation, all on one floor, consists of a double bedroom with original beamed ceiling, modern bathroom with bath and shower, kitchen with electric hob, and a lounge-diner with sofa bed, again with attractive original beams, with French doors leading out onto the secluded courtyard decorated with typical Andalusian tiles.
Due to the traditional thick stone walls, Casa Azul provides a cool retreat from the baking midday sun, although in the winter months the wood-burner will keep the house cosy.
The house is a 5 minute walk to the main town square where you will find many cafes, bars and restaurants, along with the Tourist Information housed in the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall). Whilst Casa Azul is on a typical narrow street, parking is available beyond the neighbouring house at the end of the road.
The house bears little resemblance to one of its former lives as a corral for animals, although evidence of the manger can be found preserved in the hall shelves!
Casa Azul is a non-smoking house, we would ask any smokers to smoke outside in the courtyard.
All towels, bed linen and a welcome pack provided.
