Another charming cave dwelling, yet with modern comforts. Beautiful views over the city of Guadix and the Sierra Nevada. There’s a pool too.

For the price, this place is really rather grand, providing all the services you’d expect of more high-end properties and it’s well located right in the centre of the city. The common areas and rooms are a little spare, but perfectly maintained, and the building has its own garage.

Another great location, with a pool overlooked by the La Giralda tower. Furnishings include four-poster beds.

If you’re in the mood for Moorish opulence, this castle high above the town fits the bill. Elegant and rich furnishings, and a gourmet restaurant too.

Grouped around flower-decked patios, this converted farm is a series of comfortable cottages that retain an authentic flavour. Private balconies and gardens grace many of the accommodations, and all around there are orange trees, bougainvillea, wisteria and jasmine perfuming the air.

An old Spanish farm has been brilliantly converted. The 11 rooms, most with private terrace, are spacious and refined. Other touches include a pool with a beach, Jacuzzi and sauna, set amid gardens.

Set amid green hills, this converted ranch is filled with an eclectic mix of furniture, paintings, pottery and books. Rooms are all distinctive, whether due to hand-painted walls, Oriental hangings, a bathtub with a view, or a fireplace. In spring, the valley below the house is filled with white heather, primroses and the sound of nightingales; summer days can be spent beside the spectacular pool.

This charming 16th-century farmhouse sits amid olive groves. The interior is welcoming and comfortable, with original stone floors. Outside, the grounds are spacious, with a wide terrace, a barbecue and a pool.

A fabulous resort, reminiscent of a tiny Moorish village with its own chapel. It is interlaced with gardens and patios.
