Recently restored Andalusian cottage is just a half-hour drive from the centre of Granada and the must-visit Alhambra.

Rooms this mellow should be illegal (but we’re really glad they’re not).

Renovated historical palace exudes original charm and modern elegance.

Free WiFi’s a perk everyone can appreciate.

Granada's lively and vibrant cultural centre: a five-minute jaunt away.

Situated next to the gardens leading into the 11th-century medieval town. (Tune up the lute, anyone?)

Enviable Plaza Nueva location puts you at the heart of the action (well, as action-y as ancient cities get).

Rooftop pool and sundeck. You. There. Now. (Any questions?)

Built by the marquis of Trujillo in 1616(!) inside the monastery – right on the river Genil near the historic centre.

Beautiful hotel decorated to reflect the work of American writer (and Alhambra enthusiast) Washington Irving.

Unique building is fully renovated but keeps its early 19th-century splendour (check out that dizzying spiral staircase).

Attractive city centre stay in a lovely neighbourhood 15 minutes' walk from Library of Andalucia.

Location is top notch – The Alhambra is practically next door and it’s an easy bus ride or walk into the main city.

The mainly neutral palette is punctuated with pops of aquamarine and turquoise – a nod to the Nasrid art Granada is known for.
