Apartment with 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 6, Garden
Fantastically located Spanish apartment, just 5 miles from the hustle and bustle of the centre of Granada (2 minutes walk to bus stop) , and 35 minutes drive round the mountain to the ski lift at Pradollano (Sierra Nevada).

Monachil is a typical Spanish working village with many little settlements amongst the mountain range. Our apartment is situated in one of the oldest lanes of the village, amongst other rural Spanish properties.
If you are looking for 'fish and chips' or other English people, don't come here! What you will find is locals walking up the street early on Saturday morning with freshly baked bread!
There is a new theme park opened with a 26 lane ten pin bowling alley, and games area, as well as American, Mexican, Pizza and Italian Restaurants. This is just 10 minutes drive from the apartment.
The apartment itself has the following facilities:
Sleeps 6 persons. Washing machine and tumble dryer (utility room). Iron and ironing board. Heating. Lounge with TV and DVD. Dining area with large table and 6 chairs. Bathroom with bath and shower and hairdryer. Bedroom 1 with kingsize bed and single foldaway bed. Bedroom 2 with bunk beds and a single bed (3). Rear enclosed courtyard.
We have tried to furnish the apartment with the little luxuries that we like, e.g feather duvets, and stainless steel cutlery.
We have tried to make our apartment as suitable as possible for children. A travel cot and booster seat is available. We also have a few toys, bath mat and plastic cutlery.
All linen and towels are included. Parking is on the road outside the apartment.
Pradollano (the name of the ski village) is a superb resort with facilities for all of the family. There are limited runs for the advanced skier, but plenty for beginners, children and intermediates. There is even a moving carpet, especially good for small children.
There is a host of good value restaurants.
There are numerous shops where you can hire ski gear, as well as book pirvate lessons, as well as join ski school. There is also a children's creche where you can place children 6 months to 5 years.

This is approx 15 euros per day. There is a further large car park, which is about 10 minutes walk from the resort and is approx 5 euros to park all day.
There is a bus that goes to the resort from the main bus station in Granada.

Dear Linda,
I don't know where to begin! We had such an amazing time in Spain - and your apartment was at the the heart of it. It was perfect for our family.
Your directions were perfect. Due to weather and flight cancellations we finally arrived in Monachil at 1 a.m. the first day! Driving from Malaga in the night - more than a little exhausted- we did not get lost at all. The pictures - especially of the new construction - really helped.
The town of Monachil was delightful and a wonderful way to get off the beaten tourist track and actually interact with locals in a more natural way. The town was a perfect size for exploring on foot and the proximity of the shops made grocery shopping a snap. The bakery was awesome - we made several trips there. Getting in and out of Granada was effortless. The 181 bus was a easy and cabs were inexpensive and plentiful. We did have a rental car that required some creativity for parking - but we only used for trips to Sevilla and Malaga and getting to and from the airport.
The apartment is a perfect base for exploring southern Spain. We took an overnight trip to Sevilla and then went on a day trip via ferry to Morocco. It was a lot to do in less than 48 hours. When we returned that night to the apartment, my husband sat down on the sofa and said "It's good to be home." That is exactly how it felt.
The codes for the main door and the safe worked well. We never took the keys out with us - just left them in the box so we did not need to worry about losing them. We never did meet Maria. We hope the apartment was left in an agreeable condition.
We would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Granada. We will keep you in mind for future trips.
Regards,
Arlene Perkkio

"Dear Linda,
We had a wonderful time in the Granada area and truly enjoyed the use of the apartment. We viewed sites and otherwise experienced the city on two of our days there. One day we went up to the Alpujarra region, on another we visited the coast and swam in the Mediterranean, and on our last day we climbed Pico Valeta. After those more distant excursions it was especially nice to return to the comfort of the apartment and prepare a meal there.
I hope conditions were found to be " - Aug 2008
