This large house has been carefully renovated, respecting its original architecture and traditional features. It has attractive beamed ceilings, thick walls and Moorish archways. The house is far larger inside than its external appearance suggests, and can be viewed in a virtual tour by following the link from our own website. The house rambles over four floors and the rooms are large and airy, cool in the summer, with a wood-burning stove to take the chill off the cold mountain evenings in winter.
There is a private patio for dining al fresco, and the spacious split level roof terrace enjoys views of the surrounding hillsides and the town's imposing fifteenth century church. The house is situated in a delightfully quiet street in the oldest part of historic Alhama, yet the main square, with its shops, bars and restaurants, is a gentle stroll away.
Alhama de Granada is built on the edge of a gorge (El Tajo), and is described by the Rough Guide to Andalucia as ‘one of the unsung gems of Granada province’. It is the perfect location for anyone wishing to experience life in a traditional Spanish town whilst exploring the fantastic countryside around – the Tajo, the Sierra de Loja, Lake Bermejales. The hot springs, used since Roman times, are just outside town. The owners live in Alhama and are therefore readily available both to meet and greet and to help with anything you need during your holiday.

Alhama’s main square, with its shops, bars and restaurants, is only a short walk away. Check out Seguriya for a special meal out, or Bar Ochoa for great tapas and atmosphere. There are hot springs, used since Roman times, just outside town. The eastern edge of the town is built overlooking the gorge (El Tajo), and various stunning walks through the gorge are well-signposted. In summer, you can walk its length to reach the splendid swimming pool at hotel Pato Loco. This is open to non-residents and is very quiet, especially on weekday afternoons. Lake Bermejales (15k) offers fresh water swimming and mountain scenery.
Granada, and the Alhambra, are an hour's drive.
We moved to Alhama in 2005, but unfortunately things didn't work out, so we are back in the UK. I think we moved to Spain for all the right reasons, but our timing was wrong. Might move back there some day......
I love the space inside and the flow of the house, and how quiet it is. I love the little patio just off the kitchen. I love the fact that we renovated it with two of the most spiritual, zen-like builders I have ever come across, who felt they had to put themselves into the building almost as a point of faith. I love the age of the house and that we have helped to preserve it for the next generation.
Year we bought the property: 2005

“We were very lucky to have found this place online. Our family, 3 adults and 3 children, stayed for 3 weeks in May. There was room to spare. The home is beautifully restored, comfortably furnished, and well equipped. The beds are cofortable and the kitchen has everything you need to put together multiple-course feasts. The owners and caretakers are very kind and go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. Alhama de Granada is a great place to stay - take the city tour, hike in the gorge, do the tapas stroll. A great home base if you want to explore Andalucia (by car) and get a feel for rural Spain.”

“The property is delightful and situated in a lovely area of the small town of Alhama de Granada. The nearby caretaker was extremely helpful and friendly, offering us good advice on places to visit etc. The property was well equipped with everything we could have asked for and it was lovely and cool to return to in the heat of the day, even in the month of August when we were there. The nearby gorge below the town is stunning and provided numerous walks as well as fishing with handlines bought from a small shop in the town. The townspeople were very friendly and, despite the fact that our Spanish was basic and their English was almost non-existent on the whole, we always managed to eat and drink well! The property is also well situated for striking out to Cordoba and Granada as well as the coast. All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in order to experience the real Spain!”

“This is a fabulous place to stay, from which to enjoy the charming town of Alhama and the surrounding area. We were given a warm welcome by Lisa. She showed us around the property and she answered all of our questions and gave us lots of useful information. The house has clearly been very thoughtfully renovated, and to a very high standard, providing comfortable and very spacious accommodation. We particularly loved the rooftop terrace, which is split over 3 levels and provides wonderful views. The location of the house is excellent, a short walk to the main plaza and the historical areas but on a quiet road. I would highly recommend a stay at this property.”
