This Renaissance-style palace is located in the charming and historic Albayzín district of Granada. It features its own beautiful garden including a splash pool.

Built on ruins from the 11th century and dating from the 16th century, the Carmen del Cobertizo has one of the oldest Moorish-style façades in Andalusia. Its garden is typical of the region, has and ivy-covered walls and bright flowers, and offers a cool haven from the warm Spanish sunshine. The building itself is also traditional for its surroundings, with a main courtyard full of columns and rich dark woods.

This small, intimate hotel is located at the foot of the Albayzín, facing the wooded slopes that rise up to the majestic Alhambra Palace. The hotel’s roof terrace enjoys stunning views over the hillside, river valley and the palace.
