Hotel La Almunia del Valle is a country boutique hotel situated in a beautiful spot in the Sierra Nevada Natural Park, just a few kilometres outside Granada. Built as a mountain “cortijo”, the hotel is totally at one with its surroundings and all the rooms enjoy impressive sights of the Sierra Nevada.
The guest rooms project a warmth and comfort, accentuated by their soft earthy colours. Each is provided with internet connection, telephone, tea and coffee-making and a fridge, and the Superior rooms have a private terrace. There's no need for bottled water as the water supply at La Almunia comes natural and fresh directly from the Sierra Nevada. Attention to detail has been the hallmark of the design, complemented by an interesting collection of original art work displayed around the hotel. For relaxing, there is a large terrace and a swimming pool in the garden, and a lounge and bar indoors with a fireplace for when the mountain evenings become a little chilly.
The hotel is surrounded by an estate of 13,000 square metres divided in two areas. One part is cultivated with olive, chestnut and various other fruit trees, and the second left in its natural state with oaks, "esparteras" and aromatic mountain herbs. Although the city is not far away (ideal for visiting the Alhambra and the other sights of Granada) the mountain blocks out the light pollution so there is a real pleasure in being able to meditate on the terrace while gazing up at the star-filled sky of spring and summer.
This is a location that has so much to offer, right in the Natural Park, the ski resorts of Sierra Nevada are just a 20 minute drive away. Granada is less than that, it’s only 40 minutes down to the coast or about the same if you want to sample the unique countryside of the Alpujarras.
