Casa La Siesta

La Siesta is a comfortable, traditional style Spanish house with some modern touches. It has nice high ceilings, comfortable beds, and everything you might need to make your stay easy and like being at home. The terrace is just off the kitchen and has views over the town, and is a great place to relax with a book and glass of wine. The house is very close to the centre of town, only 100m, where you will find excellent bars and restaurants. Parking is right outside the house and is unrestricted. A traditional style 'upside down' house where the main living area and kitchen are on the top floor and the bedrooms underneath. This allows for cooler bedrooms in the height of summer and makes sleeping much more comfortable. It's very common in this part of Spain to have this typ of space arrangement The whole house will be yours for the duration of your stay Sami, our co-host lives close-by and will be on hand to meet you to give you keys and to go over the house with you as well as be available if anything should go wrong. If you are arriving late there is a key safe so you can let yourself in and Sami will be over to meet with you the next day Alhama is a very traditional Spanish inland town. We still observe the siesta and as such shops close between 2pm and 5pm Monday to Friday. Some shops only open Saturday morning and not in the afternoon and none open on a Sunday. If you arrive on a Sunday you won't be able to get any shopping until Monday morning. The bus stop is fairly close and there are two buses Mon-Sat to Granada and one to Torre del Mar. On a Sunday there is only one bus to Granada and one to Torre del Mar. If you want to arrive by bus it is best from Granada. From Malaga and via Torre del Mar the bus to Alhama leaves at 08.30 only from Torre del Mar During the year there are some local and national holiday days and fiestas. During a fiesta or festival the locals are partying until very late, or should I say until early in the morning. As the house is centrally located there may be times when you just need to join the party!
