Description Towers Over Albaicin: Granada

Nestled in the historic Albaicín neighbourhood, this three-storey home offers uninterrupted views of the Alhambra from three private terraces – including one off each bedroom. On the top floor, a characterful living space features beamed ceilings and shuttered windows framing open sky – where you can cook, eat, and take in the Torre de la Vela at the same time. Tapas bars, monuments, and independent shops are all steps away, making it as easy to wander the city as it is to stay home and watch the Alhambra change colour with the light.

Home truths:
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. You'll need to request them in advance.
* There's no lift here, so you'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home. The living room and kitchen sit on the top floor, while the bedrooms are on the two floors below.
