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.

A lovely hotel, very well located. You can find many restaurants close, by less then 5 minuts walk.

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

The male receptionist and the waiter in the restaurant were exceptionally friendly and helpful and made us feel welcomed. Hotel was comfortable.

Everything OK except the location, they are situated in the center of Santa Fe with no decent parking places. Had to park on the pavement in a public place, fortunately my car was still there in the morning without any damage.
