Parador Granada
Spend a night at the site of the Alhambra, among gardens and fountains which recall a past where the Arabian merged with the Christian. This is the exclusive opportunity the Parador in Granada affords us,
an ancient convent built on the orders of the Catholic Monarchs on top of a Nazrid palace, of which important remains are still conserved, such as the Nazrid Hall. This monumental complex offers the guest peaceful walks around the area and the city, while the building itself and its gardens invite you to discover a fantasy-like interior.
Numerous works of art and exceptional pieces of furniture decorate the Cloister and the interior rooms. In the dining room or in the coolness of the summer terrace, with exceptional views of the Generalife, Andalusian gazpacho, Granada-style beans and Santa Fe pastries are served.








lovely location in Granada, food excellent including breakfast. Only dissappointment was bedroom lacked any feeling or atmosphere for our surroundings, very modern and masculine
Without a doubt, our 2-days and 2-nights at the Alhambra, staying at the Parador San Fransisco was the highlight of our visit to southern Spain. It was very special to be able to wander around this marvellous historic site in the late afternoon and evening when the other tourists had departed for the day. One evening we dined on the terrace with the view to the Generalife and the sounds of a classical concert drifting over the valley. It was one of those magical, unforgettable experiences and, although it costs as more than total of all our other accommodation, we decided it was one of those wonderful, unmissable experiences. The suite was elegant and luxurious with a wonderful view over the courtyard and gardens. My only complaint was that the staff do not offer the level of customer service you would expect for this kind of accommodation (and this size bill). The hotel is five star, but the staff are only three star, particularly in the restaurant.
