Notes on Rental price

High season comprises of the months of June until September in Summer and December until April during the ski season. For weekly stays changeover day is on Saturdays although this can be flexible outwith the Summer months. Please be aware that during the months of winter Granada and almost all of interior Spain is cold - albeit sunny - and although it can be very pleasant to sit in the midday sun, average nightime lows are 0'C or less. It is therefore recommended that prospective guests be wary of sites claiming that just a small woodstove or gas heater will suffice.

Change over day/Arrival/Departures

Changeover is generally on Saturdays with a minimum stay of one week, although shorter stays of 4 days minimum can sometimes be arranged.

Check in time is no later than 05.00 pm. Check out time is no later than 11.00 pm in order to allow time to maintenance and preparation for the next cottage guests. If a later departure time is required or luggage is to be stored please mention to the owner.

Local information

Apart from the obvious atractions of the city of Granada, Monachil and the Sierra Nevada ski station there are many other activities a bit further afield.

Granada is well know in Spain for the possibility of skiing in the morning and sunbathing in the afternoon. Beach resorts such as Salobreña and Almuñecar can be reached in 45 minutes by car from the village.

Travel distances

Granada : 30-minutes drive
Coast : 45-minutes drive
Ski station : 25-minutes drive

Skiing

Sierra Nevada ski station is only 25 minutes from the house with the added advantage that there is a separate road from the village to the resort hence avoiding much of the Granada city traffic.

Special interest

Apart from the local Monachil area itself the main attraction is without doubt Granada - the city of the Alhambra, Albayzin and the gypsy caves of Sacromonte. Trips to the Alhambra should be reserved in advance particularly in the months of summer.
