El Ladrón de Agua Palacete

I absolutely adored this apartment hotel!🌟 We stayed in a beautiful apartment with a gorgeous living room + kitchen with everything you need. Two big bedrooms, one of them absolutely huge with a mesmerizing bathroom. Both bathrooms are amazing in different ways: The eye for interior design, style and beauty is evident throughout the whole building and the apartment. It felt at home and cozy as well. The hotel was quiet and I slept well as the living room balcony is out towards a great view and a calm, quiet and very atmospheric walking street next to a small river. Sunlight, great service, amazing resturants and breakfast places one minute walk from the hotel. You also have restaurants just some minutes walking with an absolutely incredibly view of Alhambra and the rest of the city and lush green hills and landscapes. Lastly - a great Hamam spa 5’ walk. It was the most beautiful spa I’ve been to. 👌 Highly recommended, 10/10! ✨

Our stay was absolutely amazing. This beautiful Palace has a very unique architectural design with a modern twist. The apartment was very comfortable, very clean with all the amenities. It is within walking distance to Alhambra Palace and to the city center. Our hosts Olga and Miguel are very kind. Will definitely return again.

Perhaps not all of you reading this will arrive at El Ladron de Agua Palacete in a state of sweaty discombobulation, having somehow lost your glasses in the past hour. But if, like us, you do, rest assured that the above-and-beyond ministrations of Olga and Miguel will solve all problems. (The glasses were located, retrieved and delivered to us by our hosts the next day!) First, we were wowed by the initial view of the marble courtyard and central fountain of this lodging (now an apartment, rather than a hotel after some fabulous renovation). Beautiful poetry lines the courtyard walls. Secondly, we were greeted warmly---no, more like long lost relatives—by Olga and Miguel. Our lodging was the penthouse which was sumptuous. A handsome bathroom, nice bedroom and large, beautifully furnished living room/dining room/kitchen area. Out the window and up the hill stands the Alhambra, imposing and iconic at every time of day. The kitchen was well-stocked with every pot and utensil one might need for real cooking (we only made breakfast but could have done more if we wished). More standard services, like recommending restaurants and helping us navigate a complicated city, were also cheerfully performed. We knew how to reach our hosts should we need them in off hours. There was a day-long (and part of the night) celebration while we were there. Closing the double-glazed windows eliminated almost all the street sounds. And when it was time for us to (reluctantly) depart after three nights, our hosts not only advised us on the best place to get a cab that could go directly to the train station without circumnavigating the city, but rolled our suitcases there and sent us off with unforgettable memories. We cannot imagine you’ll find a lovelier place to stay or more service-oriented hosts.
