Perks for the Parents
This peaceful Andalusian rural mountain retreat on the door step of the Alpujarras has a newly-renovated sand effect, salt water infinity pool, a trampoline and plenty of toys. It is the perfect place to enjoy the fabulous mountain views. It sleeps up to 6 + 2. The villa is well set up for families with a full kitchen and 2 family-sized dining areas; 1 inside and 1 on the terrace. The primary bedroom has a super kingsize bed with views over the pool and mountains and an ensuite bathroom with a large Spanish shower. The house is set in the mountains but a short drive from beaches and restaurants.
Why Kids Love it
The residence is suitable from babies to teens and is a great family space to enjoy together. There is a trampoline and play area, a sand and water play station and an infinity pool for hours of fun. Inside, the kids’ bedroom is pretty with a mid-sleeper and toys galore including a dressing-up box, teepee play house and a vintage rocking horse. A crib, travel crib, high chair, baby toys and a baby bath can also be provided. The area is very child-friendly and kids are welcomed and adored. The hosts can supply a Bugaboo buggy (suitable for rough terrain so parents can walk in to the village with small people!) as well as a baby hiking rucksack for little ones. Horseriding, hiking and swimming in the summer are popular, and in the winter, there are ski slopes and instructors nearby. Ask the hosts about pony club activities including arts and crafts, parachute games, pony grooming and pony rides to the river.

Granada, Andalusia
Flamenco, tapas and the show-stopping Alhambra
This captivating city in southern Spain’s Andalusia region is dominated by the UNESCO world heritage site of the 13th-century Moorish palace of Alhambra. Kids (under 12s go free) will love running around the Arab influenced Generalife Gardens, gazing at the view and getting school on history. Dig around the souks and wares in Albaícin, a medieval warren of streets, try local dishes such as remòjon, an orange-based salad with cod, or eat tapas in one of the city’s many lively bars. Explore Granada’s Science Park with a butterfly farm and planetarium, picnic in the lovely Federico Garcia Lorca Park or, if it gets too hot, hit one of the many beautiful beaches on the Costa Tropical.
