Sol de Alba

Sol de Alba is built for the largest groups: forty guests, thirteen bedrooms, twenty beds and fourteen and a half bathrooms, on Calle de las Carretas in El Centro. At that size the question stops being whether everyone fits and becomes whether everyone can be comfortable at the same time, and the answer here is the rooftop — a second pool, up top, with a viewpoint across the old town, above the courtyard pool and jacuzzi below. A professional bar and a lounge give a group of forty two more places to be. The bedrooms run from classic doubles with a patio view to quadruple rooms with balconies over the street, so a mixed party of couples, families and friends can each be given something that suits. It is one of a group of houses within the walls, each built around a pool, a proper bar and a room big enough to hold everyone at once.
