Granada Between Columns

Staying at this studio apartment means sleeping beneath original stone columns and beamed ceilings in a centuries-old building, yet arriving to a modern kitchen and a marble walk-in shower. The courtyard at the heart of the building – framed in stone and open to the sky – gives the apartment a sense of calm that most city-centre stays can't offer. And the location earns its place as a selling point: you're steps from Granada's Cathedral, and the tapas bars and monuments that make this city worth visiting in the first place.

Home truths:
* This is a studio apartment, so the sleeping and living areas share one open space. There are no separate rooms for privacy between guests.
* The double bed is made up of two single beds pushed together.
* At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. You'll need to request them in advance.
* Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
* You're in the historic centre of Granada, with the Cathedral, tapas bars, and cultural landmarks all within easy walking distance – a car is unlikely to be necessary here.
