Casa del Trigo

Having been in Granada the previous night and spent the day taking in the city’s sights, I wanted a close by overnight stop so that I could easily head off on the rest of my journey the next morning. Santa Fe is only 11 kms from the city centre so I chose it merely for convenience. What a lovely surprise however to find this modern contemporary hotel in such a quirky historic town with its large central square accessed through the remaining three 15th century monumental walled gates. The hotel is modern and elegant with beautiful tiled floors, wide corridors and large circulation areas. My double-bedded room with its stylish shower room was extremely comfortable. Friendly and helpful reception; and I was able to park right next to the hotel. The building was, I am told, originally a sausage factory and later became a flour factory (hence the name). Preserving the original façade, it was converted into a house then into the hotel in 2008. I didn’t have dinner in the hotel restaurant but the menu looks very good, if perhaps a little pricey. I doubt that Santa Fe is considered to be a tourist destination for many travellers but I would recommend staying here if you intend to spend a day in Granada. It’s a short drive into the city and, if you can choose a car park beforehand, it will save you the frustration of mixing with Granada’s incomprehensible traffic management system. Or you could take a bus or taxi. A lovely hotel, very good value and highly recommended.

The hotel has a stylish interior and great staff. The quality of the room was very good for the price I paid (42 euro). The shower doors were not 100%, but for the rest I found everything satisfactory. I would definitely return.

Nice location in the town very close to the bus stop

Clean, comfortable beds, good shower. Staff were friendly and restaurant was a bonus as not many restaurants around.

functioning heating system, central location, very good restaurant on the ground floor.
