Description

Casa Toledana. Located on a private gated street in the colonial town of Granada, just two blocks from the famed Tribal Hotel. Boasting four king-size bedrooms, two outdoor living rooms, and a private pool. The house is generously sized at a total of 445 sq meters. 274 sq meters on the ground floor and 171 sq meters  on the second floor. In like fashion to the previous Tribal Houses, Casa Toledana is a perfect example of indoor-outdoor living. Done in the style of a Marrakech riad, there is a seamless connection between the living areas and the lushly planted inner courtyard. Bedrooms are enclosed with French doors and air-conditioning. Each has an en-suite bathroom.

The Space

The ground floor includes an open-air living room with a large round built-in sofa. There is a large kitchen and a dining area with a dining table for 8 people.  There are two storage rooms; a guest bathroom, and a large air-conditioned master bedroom with built-in king-size bed, en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. The outdoor area features a large custom-tiled pool, two queen-size lounging sun beds, and a covered sitting area.

The second floor comprises three large air-conditioned guest bedrooms with king-size beds and en-suite bathrooms. Additionally an open-air living room on the second floor is fitted with TV hookups. It can serve as a TV room or as a relaxing area with views of the Mombacho volcano.

The home is turnkey. Stunningly tiled walls and floors, outfitted bathrooms and kitchen, and fully furnished. Custom pieces of furniture are built-in, creating an overall modern look. Mixed in are organic elements and midcentury-inspired pieces of custom-designed furniture. Throughout the house hand-knotted kilims from Turkey and Morocco add touches of colour. They pop against the white walls and white cement tiles. Light fixtures are locally hand-made.

The floating pool bed comes outfitted with outdoor cushions. Likewise the cushioned lounging bed begs for a nap. An undeniably lush courtyard comes landscaped with mature palm trees and tropical plants.

The oversized round built-in sofa features custom cushions and pillows made with imported outdoor fabrics to facilitate cleaning. Constructed from tambour tropical wood, the curved wall is an architectural highlight. Additionally dual strip lights enhance the textured wood and waved plaster.

The second floor living room also comes outfitted with a large L-shaped built-in sofa. An over-size custom coffee table with locallymade wicker chairs, and Turkish kilim complete the look. The jalousie windows offer views of the Mombacho volcano. A pleasant breeze is present throughout the second floor.
