A curated collection of seven vacation rental apartments in Granada's historic Albaicín, facing the Alhambra.
Founded in 2024 by Diego Fernandez — a lifelong Granada resident — Noor is built on the belief that hospitality is a relationship, not a transaction. Every guest receives personalised local recommendations: the restaurants that don't appear on lists, the hours when the Alhambra is quietest, the walk that no guidebook mentions.
All seven apartments are in the Albaicín, Granada's historic Moorish quarter and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Albaicín sits on a hillside directly facing the Alhambra, filled with narrow cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses, traditional cármenes (walled gardens), and over 1,000 years of history.
Most apartments are on or near Paseo de los Tristes — one of the most celebrated streets in Spain — just 3 minutes' walk from Plaza Nueva.
La Terraza has always been a home that draws people outward. The terrace — wide enough for a long dinner, quiet enough for an early morning coffee — faces the hillside where the Alhambra has stood for seven centuries. Guests who stay here tend to spend as much time outside as in. It is the kind of space where a group arrives as friends and leaves as the people who spent that week in Granada together. The apartment was chosen for this collection because of what it does to time: it slows it down, and turns a trip into a memory. Perched between Calle Puente Cabrera and Calle Santa Ana, this bright penthouse commands views of the Albaicín's cascading rooftops and the Alhambra's Torre de la Vela — the watchtower that has marked the passage of centuries since the Nasrid dynasty. From the terrace, you see what travellers have crossed continents to find: the light of Granada changing, hour by hour, across the most storied hillside in Spain. Inside, the apartment is warm, bright, and generous. Two double bedrooms, a sofa bed, and two full bathrooms mean that families and groups have space without compromise. The kitchen is fully equipped for those mornings when no one wants to leave — when breakfast on the terrace, with the Alhambra lit by first light, feels like the best plan in the city.
Al Bayyazin is what the Moors called this neighbourhood — the Arabic name that predates any of its streets or buildings, that still carries the sound of the civilisation that shaped this hilltop. To stay in Al Bayyazin is to wake up inside that history. The Alhambra fills the window. In the morning, before the city stirs, it is possible to sit with a coffee and understand why people have been coming to this view for seven hundred years. This apartment was chosen for the collection because of what it faces — and because nothing can be built in front of it. This bright penthouse sits between Calle Puente Cabrera and Calle Santa Ana, commanding panoramic views of the Albaicín's cascading rooftops and the Alhambra's Torre de la Vela from its generous private terrace. Inside, the apartment is spacious, modern, and flooded with light. Vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve the line between interior and terrace. Two bedrooms with beautifully carved wooden headboards, a sofa bed for additional guests, and two full bathrooms provide real comfort for up to six. The open-plan living and dining space — centred on a handsome glass dining table — is the kind of room where evenings begin with good intentions and end with the last of the wine.
Paseo de los Tristes — the Promenade of the Sad — was named for the funeral processions that once wound beneath the Alhambra walls. Today it is one of the most beautiful streets in Spain: a long, tree-lined promenade that runs along the Darro river, with the palace directly above. El Paseo sits on this street. Guests step out in the morning to find the whole of Granada passing beneath the Alhambra, and they understand immediately why people come back to this city. It is the most beautifully located apartment in the collection — and at 4.84 stars, the numbers agree. Inside, the apartment is modern, bright, and designed with couples in mind. A comfortable double bed with a high-quality mattress guarantees restful nights, while the open-plan living area — with its bold artwork and warm textures — is the kind of space where an evening glass of wine turns into a conversation that lasts until midnight. The kitchen is fully equipped for those mornings when the best plan in Granada is no plan at all — just coffee, the sound of the river, and the knowledge that the Alhambra is right there, waiting whenever you are ready.
Cueva homes have been carved into the hillsides of Granada since long before the city had a name. The Sacromonte — the hill that rises above the Albaicin — has been inhabited in this way for five centuries: warm in winter, cool in summer, shaped by the rock rather than imposed upon it. La Cueva is one of these homes. The walls are the hill itself. The light comes in at particular angles, at particular times of day, in a way that no architect could plan. Guests who stay here often describe it as the apartment they didn't know they were looking for — and the one they think about most when they're home. The original whitewashed structure remains — vaulted ceilings, stone walls, the cool stillness of a space shaped by centuries. But modern comforts are all here: air conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi, and a king-size bed with a 2x2 metre mattress that makes the cave feel more like a sanctuary than a curiosity. In the living room, a raised tablao — the wooden platform typical of Andalusian cave homes — invites you to sit, read, or simply absorb the silence. This is not a hotel trying to be different. It is a home that has always been different, and now it's yours for a few nights.
The Paseo de los Tristes has always been a place where families walk in the evening — the wide promenade that runs beneath the Alhambra walls, with space for everyone. La Familia takes its name from this. Two bedrooms and three beds for up to six guests, a kitchen where mornings are unhurried. The kind of home that makes Granada feel manageable and extraordinary in equal measure — and it shares its address with the highest-rated apartment in the collection. From the moment you enter, you'll be surprised by the spaciousness and brightness. Designed in a modern and functional style, open spaces combine with cosy details to create an ideal atmosphere to relax and enjoy. The spacious living room is the heart of the apartment — a perfect place to gather after a day exploring the city. Two bedrooms with double beds are equipped with high-quality mattresses that guarantee restful sleep, with soft sheets and blankets.
Some of the best trips are the ones where the apartment feels like a held breath — a quiet, well-appointed base on one of Spain's most celebrated streets, from which everything worth seeing in Granada is within walking distance. El Estudio is that apartment. Thoughtfully arranged for up to four guests, on the Paseo de los Tristes. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a warm and bright atmosphere where every detail has been designed to maximise space and comfort. The double bed, with a high-quality mattress and soft bedding, is the perfect place to rest after a day of exploration. The comfortable sofa bed offers an ideal solution for a third or fourth guest. The location is simply unbeatable. Plaza Nueva is a one-minute walk away — the perfect starting point for the historic centre. The Albaicin's cobblestone streets and Alhambra viewpoints are at your doorstep, and the Alhambra itself is only a ten-minute walk.
Most apartments in the Albaicin max out at four or five guests. If you're travelling as a group of seven, eight, or nine, your options in this neighbourhood are almost non-existent. El Gran Loft exists to solve that problem. This is a spacious, modern loft in the heart of Paseo de los Tristes — one of Europe's most celebrated streets. With its own private entrance, two bedrooms, six beds, and a wide-open communal living space, it's built for groups who want to be together without feeling cramped. The dining table seats everyone. The kitchen is fully equipped for real cooking. The three showers and two toilets mean mornings run smoothly even with nine people getting ready. And at the end of the day, everyone comes back to the same address — beneath the Alhambra walls, on one of the most atmospheric streets in Spain. The rooms are equipped with very comfortable beds with double pillows of different densities and four-season duvets — two of different thicknesses that can be joined or separated with corner connectors. The sofa bed sleeps two more when you need it.
