Carmen de la Alcubilla del Caracol

We were more than lucky to come across this gem, with gorgeous grounds and stunning views from all parts of the accommodation. We stayed in the Tower. The room was generous and comfortable with two sets of French doors that led out onto a wide terrace. Here we were treated to the beauty and charm of Granada and the Sierra Nevada mountains.The location meant we could easily access the Alhambra and the surrounding walks, and make our way down the hill to historic town and its restaurants and cafes. Alejandro is a wonderful and highly personable host who is generous with his time and knowledge. He and his wonderful staff made sure that our stay was memorable. Thank you to them all for their fabulous hospitality. We would definitely stay here again.

Spectacular. Wonderful small hotel perched high up with excellent views. Alejandro was extremely knowledgeable and helpful regarding giving advice on the area etc. Rooms were clean and spacious with high ceilings that gave it a very open feeling. Bit of a walk down into town but using the option (as there are more than 1) of taking the steps is far easier. Coming back up we always would take the bus and get off at the stop just by the Hotel Alhambra Palace, or a taxi to the Hotel, which is then just a 2 minute downhill stroll to the Hotel Carmen de la Alcubilla.. Gardens are lovely to sit in, very peaceful and the patio area just outside the door off the small dining area where breakfast is served, is a sun trap in the afternoon. We were lucky with the weather during our short 3 night stay as temperatures were in the high twenties. Great time.

We loved it. From start to finish the whole team could not have been more helpful. The location is perfect for exploring the Alhambra and walking down to the old town (albeit it’s definitely a long up on way back). The room was comfortable and the terrace stunning. Parking is challenging when staying here, but Alejandro did everything could to ensure sorted, which was much appreciated. We’ll defiantly be back next time in beautiful Granada. Highly recommended.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Carmen de la Alcubilla del Caracol. Alejandro and his helper Robin could not have been more gracious and generous with their time and hospitality. The room was excellent both for the size, comfort and view. For us the location was a plus, offering quick access to the town as well as the Alhambra. Having said that, you MUST be fit enough to climb stairs to stay here or else take taxis both down and up from its location. Otherwise, perfect

Alejandro went to endless trouble to ensure our car and bikes were parked safely. Then we could explore Granada without any worries. Alejandro explained all the important sights and how to use the map. Our accomodation was excellent, with grand views and breathtaking sunsets. A pleasure to sip wine in the garden with nature at her best after a day walking. Vanessa

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Carmen de la Alcubilla del Caracol. Our room was a good size, clean and large bathroom, but the best part was the terrace. We had a beautiful view of Granada. The location was great...mind you, everything in Granada is uphill unless you stay in town. We were uphill near the Alhambra. Definitely would recommend, we had a great stay!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The hotel is located in a beautiful setting with a stunning view, and it’s very close to Alhambra Palace and the town center. We highly recommend it. Alejandro and the entire staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We loved it! We will definitely return.

We had an exceptional stay at Carmen de la Alcubilla del Caracol. Could not recommend it enough. Alejandro communicated with us leading up to the trip and made sure everything was set and ready for us. Incredible views from the terrace overlooking Granada.
