Casa del Arte is a large apartment for rent in one
of the
town's most historic Moorish houses. It is situated just a two-minute
walk
from the town’s centrepiece, the Plaza de Espaņa - a popular meeting
place with many
Spanish-style bars and restaurants, and a magnificent ornate fountain
at its centre.
The flat blends traditional Moorish features
with modern facilities. The interior has been completely redesigned,
utilising the large floor area to stunning effect. Hand-made terracotta
tiles run throughout the property, with hand-stained doors and
Arabic metal lanterns giving their own special and individual flavour.
Casa del Arte is situated on the first floor above
an art gallery. The common patio is entered through thick wooden doors
and then a
wrought iron gateway so that it feel like a hidden and secure gem.
The thick walls of this historic building protect those inside from the
July and August heat.
Inside the apartment there is a wonderful feeling
of space and
light. Through each window is a wrought-iron balcony with
typical Spanish rolldown shutters. An iPod docking station and speakers
and widescreen TV is
also provided, along with a DVD player and a selection of popular films
and books.
There are two bedrooms - both are doubles - and a
camp bed can be supplied if required. There is also a sofa-bed in the
living room. Each bed has pure
cotton sheets, pillows and duvet covers and fresh towels are provided.
