Hotel Casa Morisca | Best places to stay in Granada, Andalusia
"If you’re after poetic atmosphere, bags of character and enchanting views of the Alhambra, stay in this evocative hotel in a late 15th-century mansion in a peaceful corner of the Albayzin district, just up from the Darro river. The house is named after its builders and decorators, the Moriscos (Muslims who remained in Spain after the Reconquista) whose beautiful wood, plasterwork and arches were lovingly restored by one of Granada’s top architects: the patio courtyard is exquisite. The 14 rooms (the upper ones have the best views) have Moorish style furnishings, antiques, and comfy beds; staff are wonderful and if you let them know in advance, they will save you a parking place by the hotel. There are some lovely tapas bars nearby, too, all perfect for couples who want to enjoy Granada’s unique romantic atmosphere to the hilt. " - Dana Facaros
