Description
The privileged location of this palace of the 16th century, between Alhambra and Albayzin; the poetry born in the travel of an universal poet of Andalusia, Juan Ramón Jiménez, the beauty of a classic architecture in harmony with the new art and design, the cuddle of a human staff in love with the place, and a program of activities from cultural appointments till the trips through the natural parks of Granada... A meeting point for any traveller of the world, a space and a time to develop the sensitivity. This hotel wants to be as a second home for those sensitive travellers who come to discover Granada from the most far-off places. 15 rooms, many of them watch the Palace of Alhambra offering the perfect place for the clients' comfort and rest. Several common rooms, among which stand out the patio of columns, the library or the Dining room in the dungeon, offer moments of delights and gathering, where it will gather together and settle what happened in the past after passing through the lively and unique heritage of Granada.

Routes
Guadix
Just like a filmset, Guadix unfolds its long history to the spectator strolling through its streets. It has Arab, Roman and Renaissance features and also remnants of its cave-dwelling past, making it one of the most complete examples of deepest Andalusia.
Montefrio
One of the most beautiful and charismatic towns of Granada is without doubt Montefrío. Ensconced in the sierras of Chanza and Parapanda it is a magnificent whitewashed gem in a rugged and rocky setting.
The Climb Up To Mulhacen
Mulhacen, on the southern side of Sierra Nevada, is the highest peak on the Iberian Peninsula at 3481 metres. The best way to tackle its ascension is to start from the vehicle barrier on the track up to the Poqueira mountain refuge.
Visit To Lanjaron And Orgiva
Lanjarón and Órgiva, separated by only nine kilometres of modern road, are the two most important towns of the district called Las Alpujarras, an ideal site for a Sunday-morning outing. The scenery is staggering, the air is bracing; every lungful comes perfumed with the leafy, humid aromas of these hillsides overlooking the nearby, all-pervading Mediterranean sea.
