Hotel La Polvora

Staying at La Polvora was one of the best things about our trip to Granada. Liam the owner has built a beautiful and charming boutique hotel with an excellent staff of caring, and professional people. It is a pleasant 10-15 minute walk from city centre and thus is not only on a quiet street it is also a more authentic local neighborhood. The room was spacious and attractive with beautiful Tile floor and French doors open right onto the pool patio. The pool is always impeccably clean and lovely, surrounded by banana trees and nice landscaping. We swam about 5 times a day and was a welcome oasis after touring in the very hot streets of Granada. Made to order Nica breakfast is great and the indoor/outdoor kitchen and dining area (complete with lush garden in the centre) is a great place to cook the fresh food bought at the market. One night some other guests and us cooked a big dinner/bbq and the staff and the owner dined with us at a big family style table. It was a really wonderful experience to share and get to know them while we stayed there, and to thank them for everything. In our 7 days in Granada we did most traditional activities and La Polvora arranged everything for us. Thanks to Liam and his attentive staff we were even able to spend a day on a spectacular private island, and be accompanied to the Noche de Aguizotes festival, a rare experience for tourists but they made it happen! This is by far my favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed and you will love it!
