Path to the Palace

Situated on a narrow street in Albaicín, this two-level apartment is the perfect place to experience some of Granada's historic architecture. The area has held onto much of its old charm, and maintained its layout of Mediteval Moorish streets where you can find traditional houses and ancient churches.

The inside of this home is just a captivating as its surroundings, with wooden beamed ceilings and plenty of greenery to connect the interior with the outdoor terrace. Start your mornings with a cup of coffee in the warm sunshine while you admire the views over the city's rooftops. The home is entered through a pretty courtyard, complete with water feature and shrubbery which only adds to its charm, providing a little oasis in the middle of the city.

Speaking of which, you'll have plenty to see and do here, from the moment you step outside of your front door. The sprawling hilltop fortress of Alhambra encompasses royal palaces, which are some of the finest examples of Islamic architecture in Europe, making them a must-see. When you're feeling peckish, the Arabic quarter is home to old-school tapas bars and authentic paella restaurants, offering a true taste of this fascinating part of the world.

After a long day of exploring, head back for a cosy evening at home. The office offers magnificent views and a refreshing breeze when the patio doors are open, providing a comfy spot to journal about your travels or catch up on a bit of work. You'll have everything you need to get creative in the kitchen, if you fancy a break from dining out at one of the many eateries nearby. Try recreating a couple of your favourite dishes so far, then tuck in alfresco on the balcony and watch the sunset.
