Cortijo del Marqués - Hotel in Granada
Camino del Marqués s, 18220 Albolote, Granada
Andalusia,
Espagne
A medieval banquet wouldn't look amiss in this secluded manor house set in olive groves and mountains. Hidden behind stone walls, the hotel - once a convent, a marquis's mansion, a civil war barracks - feels like a rural Andalusian hamlet: citrus-dotted patios like village squares, swathes of white or earthy walls topped with terracotta; a pretty swimming pool; a huge events barn.
In the dining room a large, tasty breakfast is served by a roaring fire on chilly days. Bedrooms - so big they swamp four-posters - revel in history: romanesque columns, pigeonholes, a bath set in olive oil tanks, cattle mangers, chunky stone walls, a granary's soaring vaulted ceilings... stunning. Tubs and showers are splendidly old-fashioned.
Beautifully rural, deliciously authentic and within reach of both beach and Sierra Nevada skiing - and if all the rustic finery isn't grand enough, Granada's Alhambra is 30kms down the road.

- From 20:00–22:30, we serve a 3-course gourmet dinner menu for 35 EUR per person (29 EUR with half board) – and we also have an excellent wine and drinks list. The gourmet menu is 27 EUR for children over 12 (22 EUR with half board) for adult size portions.
- enjoy the great country side around the Cortijo on horseback! We work with a nearby riding school which has well trained horses available for you. The price is 35 EUR per person for a tour of 2 hours, with a minimum of 2 riders.
- We also have a couple of suggested walking and cycling trips, for which we have high quality KTM mountain bikes for rental. The charge is 10 EUR per tour per bike and 25 EUR for a family of four.
- Even if you’re not interested in history or culture the Alhambra palaces in Granada should not be missed. It is a well preserved example of Moorish architecture with beautifully attended gardens that has maintained its allure and magic through the ages.
- The Albayzín is the most interesting neighbourhood in Granada, consisting of narrow twisted alleys and hidden little squares; from most of which the view on the Alhambra will seem like a dream. Simply stroll through these beautiful and tranquil streets.
- Don't miss a Flamenco performance in the gypsy caves of Sacramonte in Granada. We can recommend the cave of María La Canastera. They have daily live Flamenco Music and Dance Shows in a cave on the Sacromonte hill, near the Arab quarter.
