Holidaymakers can now book a stay in the villa renovated by Alan Carr and Amanda Holden on BBC television programme Amanda and Alan’s Spanish Job.

The TV personalities refurbished the 100-year-old townhouse, in the heart of the Andalucían village of Moclín, for £55,000.

Welsh couple Nicola and Mickey Walters purchased the Granada casa after the programme ended and have launched stays for the public.

Named after the presenters, Casa Alamanda Moclín has three double bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, two bathrooms, a games room with a bar and a patio area.

The rooms’ interiors are decorated in distinct styles. The “Moroccan Bedroom” is reminiscent of Granada’s Alhambra Palace, including carved arches and original tiling, while the “Ibiza Bedroom” features exposed brick and white timber.

The games room was inspired by exclusive London clubs, with its onyx-topped bar the perfect place to mix holiday sundowners.

Outside is a private patio garden with stairs that lead up to a roof terrace.

The Walters have opened bookings for three-night minimum stays in the casa, with varying rates from €225 (£196) per night in the high season from May to October, to €195 (£170) per night in the winter months.

The Christmas and New Year period can also be spent at the Spanish property for €210 (£183) per night.

The property can accommodate up to six guests, is self-catered and exclusively used by the guests who book a stay.

“When we watched Casa Alamanda featured on the BBC series Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job, we instantly fell in love with it,” the couple wrote on the website. “The thoughtful renovation by Alan Carr and Amanda Holden beautifully highlighted the charm and potential of the home.

“We were lucky enough to purchase the property after the show, and since then added a few of our own personal touches to enhance its character and comfort while staying true to its unique heritage.”

Moclín, a 13th-century village in the northwest hills of Granada province, is famous for its views over the Sierra Nevada mountains and a Moorish castle built by Nasrid rulers.

The village, and others that surround it, host over a dozen fiestas throughout the year, making it a key destination to visit to experience rural Spanish culture.

A 40-minute drive away is Granada, known for its intricate architecture, expressive Flamenco dancing and offering free tapas dishes with every drink. Its airport is the nearest to Casa Alamanda.
