Carmen de Vidal is a recently renovated 17th-century house where tradition meets modern comfort. Here, you’ll enjoy all the amenities of a contemporary home while immersing yourself in the magic and charm of the Albaicín, Granada’s most beautiful and historic neighborhood. To top it off, relax in the living room and take in the stunning views of the Alhambra, an experience that is truly unforgettable.

The space
Carmen de Vidal is a quintessential example of a "carmen" in the Albaicín, a traditional Granada-style house. Originally a Moorish construction from the early 17th century, it was meticulously restored in 2019 to preserve its historical essence and valuable architectural elements. These include Sierra Elvira stone columns, wooden beams, and load-bearing structures, all beautifully integrated with modern comforts and design.
The restoration paid close attention to every detail, ensuring a seamless blend of history and contemporary luxury. The house features:
• Advanced insulation and air conditioning systems for year-round comfort.
• State-of-the-art technology, including home automation, high-speed internet, and smart TVs for enjoying your favorite streaming services like Netflix and HBO.
• High-quality wooden windows and doors, as well as handcrafted wooden ceilings and flooring that enhance the charm of every space.
• Luxurious bathrooms, adorned with elegant tiles, thermostat-controlled showers, and suspended toilets for a sleek, modern look.
Carmen de Vidal is designed to be more than just a place to stay—it’s a home away from home, offering an unparalleled experience in the heart of Granada. It’s a place to cherish during your visit and one you’ll look forward to returning to whenever you come back to this beautiful city.

Other things to note
The Elvira Apartment is located on the ground floor of the house and features a living room, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom.
The two bedrooms, with charming wooden ceilings, can accommodate up to four adults. Each room is furnished with a queen-size bed (160x200 cm.), and one of the bedrooms can be reconfigured with two single beds upon request. USB chargers are embedded in the reading lamps for your convenience.
This unit boasts a spacious private patio adorned with plants, chairs, and a large table—an ideal spot to enjoy the serene ambiance of the city and a stunning view of the Alhambra. The patio receives the morning sun, making it perfect for relaxing or sunbathing.
The living room is spacious and bright, featuring a sofa bed that increases the apartment's occupancy to five guests if needed. Two balconies provide direct access to the patio, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Where you’ll be

Granada, Andalucía, Spain

The Albaicín neighborhood, declared a World Heritage Site in 1994, is the most iconic and enchanting district in Granada.
More than just a neighborhood, the Albaicín feels like a village within the city. Its unique maze of narrow streets and steep slopes has historically kept it somewhat isolated, preserving its authenticity and timeless charm. This seclusion, coupled with its storied history, has allowed the Albaicín to retain its identity and original beauty throughout the centuries.

The Albaicín offers travelers everything they could hope for when visiting a new place: extraordinary beauty, a sense of authenticity, rich history, and countless hidden corners to discover. Much of what makes Granada unique is thanks to the Albaicín:
• Architectural Beauty: The neighborhood is home to historic "Cármenes" (traditional Andalusian houses) dating back to the 11th century, as well as countless churches that reflect the diverse cultures that have shaped the city.
• A Perfect Harmony of Nature and History: Lush gardens, tranquil fountains, and the charm of its winding streets create an atmosphere of serenity and wonder. Walking through the Albaicín is a timeless experience.
• Unparalleled Views: Its iconic lookout points offer breathtaking views of the Alhambra, the Sierra Nevada mountains, and the city of Granada, making it one of the most picturesque spots in Spain.
Staying in the Albaicín will transform your visit to Granada into a truly special and unforgettable experience.
