Nothing. There are quite a few steps up to the property from the river and church which may be an issue for less mobile people but a great way to get some exercise. There is an arts quarter a bit further up from the apartment which is wonderful.

Exceptional location, fantastic host and wonderful views of the private gardens and Alhambra. Incredibly clean and very well appointed.

Nothing at all.

This property is magnificent. Everything from the view of Alhambra, to the furnishings, to the location, and especially the generosity and friendliness of the hosts, was exceptional. Highly recommend for seasoned and discerning travelers!

Gorgeous carmen with fantastic views of the Alhambra. Spacious apartment with top end touches throughout the property. Santiago is a gracious host.

Nothing.

This is a special place. It’s not the type of place you drop off your luggage at, go out all day and only return to for sleeping. This place invites you to contemplate. It’s your secret garden tucked away in plain sight, in the hustle and bustle of Albiacin at your door step but out of earshot. The blanket of greenery in the garden extends to merge with the forest of Alhambra, and in a way, although you’re some distance away, you feel you’re part of Alhambra. The apartments are beautiful with calmness and warmth. It has everything you need. The owner is the kindest and sweetest person. He will welcome you warmly and let you enjoy peacefully. As a regular in Granada, this is definitely one of my top choices to come back to.

Santiago was a great host, he picked us up and gave us detailed information. The appartement was fantastic, so clean with amazing view of Alhambra. We got a basket of gifts, koffie, melk, beverages... Thank you so much Santiago, you made our stay unforgettable! PS Book a garage parking with Santiago!

The property is up a hill so getting to it does require a bit of effort, but that's how you get the views and even my 78 year old mother said it was worth it. The bathroom sink was a bit awkward to use as the faucet is in the way when trying to wash your face. And the bathroom mirror in one of the apartments was so high up it was impossible for us short people to see ourselves. But these small things were far outweighed by the positives of the property and we would 100% book again if we were to come back to Granada.

This property was spectacular. We loved the views and the decor, it felt like a luxury boutique hotel crossed with a museum. From the amenities to the welcome basket, everything was thoughtful and delivered with care. The garden is peaceful and the property feels like a oasis. Clean, comfortable, quiet and stocked with everything we needed during our stay. We wished we booked for another night or two so we could really enjoy the property to it's fullest. We booked all three apartments for my family and had the whole property to ourselves. Wonderful host, wonderful views, wonderful apartments, wonderful stay!

We loved everything about this place! The location was amazing, the apartment was beautifully decorated and the terrace was stunning with views of the Alhambra. Guests even have access to the beautiful garden. The apartment is in the most picturesque historic sections of Granada. The host Santiago felt like family and thought of everything to make us feel welcome with a huge welcome basket on our arrival.

Nothing. But be aware you need to carry luggage for a 200m to the door.

The view is to die for. The gardens are a haven of green tranquility. The personal touch! Santiago met us at the road to the property and helped us with our luggage across the cobbles. The apartment is part of his childhood home, filled with antiques and thoughtful touches and beautifully renovated. The bed is super comfortable and there was plenty of space to unpack. The welcome basket and teas drinks provided were the cherry on the cake

The place is amazing! Breathtaking view, amazing amenities, close to everything in town. The owner is extremely accommodating and kind. The room has everything: free snacks and drinks, dryer and washer (in common space) and all the toiletries you need.

Leaving!

The beauty of the flat with its incredible views, a lot of character but also all the mod cons. High standard of cleanliness, and the friendly host Santiago who stayed late to meet us in person. A fridge full of helpful supplies, wine and a basket of sweets greeted us on arrival. Two buses to the centro and the Alhambra are 2 min walk away but I could have just spent all day in the flat and garden it was so relaxing, like home!

The attention to detail and perfect functionality.

It has a superbe Andalusian flavour making you feel the rich history of the town.

Absolutely nothing.

Carmen de Tadea is a little Andalucian treasure. As a lovingly restored traditional Granada family home, converted into accomodations for visitors, it makes you feel you are staying with Spanish relatives. Beautiful interiors with Spanish antiques, combined with state of the art modern facilities and a lot of attention to detail to provide guests with as much comfort as possible. Spotlessly clean. Located in the centre of the Albaicin, it is easy to walk to Alhambra (20 mins of charming meandering Moorish streets: do be prepared for some uphill/downhill walking in Granada, bring very sensible shoes) and you have the city's most famous 180 panoramic view of the fort at a 2 minutes' walk up around the corner. Not that you need it: just from your own balcony the view of Alhambra is glorious and changes all day round (they light it up after sunset, quite spectecular!). The courtyard garden with its ancient cipres trees is a haven of peace and birdsong. Sometimes a flamengo guitarist playing in an alley street nearby adds to the music of the place. The owner could not have been more friendly and helpful. Should I ever feel I needed another dose of the stunning beauty of Alhambra, I would be So fortunate as to be able to stay at Carmen de Tadea again!

Carmen de Tadea is a house for those who dream of a place to enjoy during their stay. It is a beautiful place, tastefully decorated. Location: on the Albaicin hill, facing the Alhambra. White houses, narrow streets, no car traffic. The house is located about 50 m from the street where taxis and mini-buses run (and 150 m from the most famous viewpoint of the Alhambra). No tourist noise. The nearest parking (paid) is less than 100 m away. The most atmospheric area in Granada. House: old, traditional, completely renovated. All (three) apartments face south, i.e. with a view of the castle. A house "behind the wall", with a beautiful, two-level garden, trees, even a fountain. The interior of the house is decorated in a historical style. This is an interior with a soul. And at the same time modern, the entrance to the house and apartments is by cards, the place is monitored. Apartment (the one with a large terrace, called Arrayan). Atmospherically furnished with old furniture, but also a modern kitchen - fully equipped with appliances (including Nespresso, tostada grill). Large terrace with table and chairs, and two deckchairs. And with a wall fountain/sink. Everything is beautifully lit at night. Unusual layout of the apartment, the bedroom is like in a tower, windows on three sides of the room. Bathroom - separate from the toilet and shower - has plenty of space for cosmetics. Quiet, birds singing or leaves rustling when it rains. The nice sounding Spanish word "disfrutar" (“enjoy”, but sounds like “squeezing juice from fruit” to me) probably best describes the mood in which one lives in Carmen de Tadea. Hosts: nice, in the morning you can meet them personally at home, they care a lot about the quality of the place. Everything in the apartment is beautiful, new, absolutely clean and fragrant. Thank you María José and Santiago! We remember this place with love. We recommend it for a quiet, romantic stay, when you have time to appreciate it all...

Wonderful location! The old style and well renovated interior design, the perfect view of Alhambra from the windows made our stay incredible. Everything was perfect, the host was very kind and helpful., we received a warm welcome. The apartment is also very close to Mirador de S. Nicolas. I strongly recommend this location.

Amazing apartment with a view of Alhambra. Santiago, the host went far and beyond to welcome us and make our stay as comfortable as possible. The location is great, we walked not more than 10-15 minutes to all Granada attractions. Highly recommend!

The location and setting of the Carmen is exceptional. With its own gardens and stunning views of the Alhambra, it feels like an oasis of calm and beauty.

A genuinely exceptional location with views that make the heart beat a little faster and take the mind to all sorts of wonderful places. The apartment and gardens are beautiful and gave us a holiday we will remember forever. Santiago was a perfect host and couldn't have been more helpful.

Like with everything in the Albaicín quarter it is very difficult to bring luggage up and down when arriving at the property and leaving.

Location was incredible - best views of Alhambra day and night. The garden was an absolute delight. The owners were welcoming, kind, and thoughtful. They had a lovely welcome basket for us and were there to receive us in person. The rooms and living area were immaculately and thoughtfully furnished with very high-end furniture and linens

Everything was great!

The place is gorgeous! So many beautiful details in the design of the place, in every single room. We absolutely loved the experience! The apartment, the views, the garden… left us speechless and living like in paradise. We weren’t even playing any music because of the serenity from the soft chirping of the birds and the water sound of the fountains, from its huge garden. It was so calm and relaxing. And it’s in the heart of Albaicín so we were just easily walking to everywhere. Everything in the apartment was brand new and they took care of every single detail, adding extra treats here and there. We felt very welcome. Also, we met the owners. They are an adorable couple, super gently and loving. We truly felt like at home in those six days stay. Thank you, guys, for everything!

The view of the Alhambra from the lounge area is amazing. The apartment has the perfect blend between old and new - very modern kitchen and bathroom with traditional doors and decorations. Great location in Albacin too, there's nothing I can think of to improve the stay
