Lying just across the street from Plaza del Campillo, it's possible to see the Baroque Battle Fountain out of the huge windows that line the walls of this apartment's living area. For those sitting at the dining table and facing the right way, it makes for a lovely view.

For those sitting in the opposite direction, the handsome interior design is just as eye-catching in our books. The wood panelling, leather sofas and period fireplace are classic in style, but the array of house plants and eclectic artwork stop the space from feeling too stuffy. You would have to be very picky to find any fault with the contemporary kitchen complete with a large island, while the marble bathrooms are effortlessly elegant, too.

As if that wasn't enough, the location is top-notch. Many of Granada's main attractions can be easily reached on foot, including the city's opulent cathedral only eight minutes away and the Moorish fortress Alhambra taking just over half an hour.
