Los 10 mejores rentales vacacionales de Castril

Castril is a village in the north of Granada, right in the mountains, and its vacation rental offering is small but varied: 43 accommodations in total, of which 25 are vacation homes, 18 apartments, and only 1 guesthouse. Most are concentrated in the urban center or near the river, and that is the first decision you need to make. If you are looking for peace and quiet and views of the castle or the Peña, the old town suits you: steep streets, little parking, and lots of charm. If you prefer not to climb slopes, look at options in the lower area, near the riverside promenade, where it is also easier to leave the car. The scattered rural houses, such as Finca Los Villegas or Alojamiento Rural El Molino De La Cerrada, are on the outskirts and require a vehicle no matter what, but in return you get more land, a barbecue, and absolute silence.

The difference between one area and another is mainly about access and services. In the village, you have shops, bars, and the supermarket within walking distance; outside, you depend on taking the car for anything, even for bread. If you come in high season (July, August, and long weekends), prices go up and it is advisable to book in advance; the average annual price is 157 euros per night, but you can find options from 69 euros if you travel midweek in spring or autumn. The average category of the accommodations is 3.7 stars, so do not expect great luxuries: we are talking about functional houses and apartments, well equipped for cooking and resting, but without hotel service. Examples such as Habitación Rural El Chorrillo or Calle Horno are representative of that simple and decent offering.

To get there, the most practical thing is to go by car: from Granada it is about 120 kilometers via the A-92 to Baza and then the A-326, with curves but in good condition. There is also a bus from Granada and Baza, but frequencies are limited, so if you do not drive, check schedules before booking. Once there, getting around without a car is complicated for the rural houses, although the village is easy to walk around. Before booking, check if the accommodation has heating (in winter it is really cold), if access is via paved road or dirt track, and if the price includes bed linen and towels, because it does not always. It is also advisable to ask about the pet policy and whether there is a security deposit, something common in this type of accommodation.
