Muralla Ziri Boutique Apartments

Kids

Granada is a great city to visit with children and you'll find that kids of all ages stay up late, playing in restaurants while their parents dine. If you're planning on visiting the Alhambra, book your tickets in advance and bring snacks with you. There's a lot to see there and kids will love it. You can buy themed storybooks and an Alhambra colouring book.

Muralla Ziri is great for families, in a fantastic central location and with kitchenettes. Children are free up to 3 years old, thereafter are charged as adults.

• Best for: All ages
• Family friendly accommodation: Book a larger apartment than you think you'll need; these ones come up a bit on the small side. Best of all is the Penthouse, which has 2 double bedrooms plus a single. Superior and Executive apartments sleep 4 (2 on a sofabed) and some Upper Standard rooms have a double bedroom and a single. You can squeeze a cot into most.
• Babysitting: Babysitting available, for an extra fee. Request when booking.
• Baby equipment:
  • Cot by request
  • High chair by request

• Children's meals: There's a mini market and fresh food markets nearby to stock your kitchenette; if you're coming for a short break, ask the owners to shop on your behalf to save time - the kitchen doesn't have basics when you arrive. Equipment in the kitchen includes a microwave, fridge and hob. Book a babysitter so you can enjoy the tapas tour.
• Kids Activities on site:
  • TV with international channels
  • CD and DVD player (Penthouse only)
  • WiFi
• Kids Activities nearby:
  • The Alhambra, complete with turrets and dungeons
  • Horse riding
  • Plaza de las Pasieges, on the west side of the Cathedral, is like a mini North African souk
  • Further afield, Mini Hollywood has a zoo, pool and Western filmset (1hr 40 minutes)
  • Skiing in the Sierra Nevada makes a good day trip (Dec-Mar) and there's a creche for babies from 4 months
• Families Should Know: Only Casa Rojo has a lift; it's hard to park nearby and some apartments have balconies (the Penthouse has a terrace) - ask on booking if this is likely to be a hazard.
