The property sits in the lower part of the Albaicín, the old Moorish quarter of the city of Granada, and everywhere there are echoes of the area's history dating back to the 13th-15th Century. Narrow medieval cobbled lanes, Moorish arches, Carmenes (old manor houses with lush gardens hidden behind high walls) and tantalising views of the stunning Alhambra (a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Spain's most visited monuments).

The Horno del Vidrio, the building in which this lovely property is located, was a craftsman's glass-making factory and it was here in the XVI Century that delicate perfume bottles were created. The property originally belonged to the Secretary to the Catholic Monarchs, Isabel and Fernando, and there remain many reminders of the building's illustrious past: beautiful timber ceiling beams, stone foundations of the glass-maker's furnaces, courtyards and patios so typical of the architectural style of the period.

The creation of 14 apartments here sensitively considers the heritage of the building, sitting as it does just up from the Carrera del Darro, arguably Granada's prettiest street, and the styling, design and interior finishes are of very fine quality.

This splendid Triplex apartment is the largest of the apartments, and the views of the Alhambra and the Generalife from the top floor terrace are stunning.
