cave houses in Gorafe
ACCOMMODATION IN GORAFE
Located in the heart of the Granada Geopark, Gorafe offers a unique overnight experience: stay in an authentic traditional cave house or, if you prefer, in a conventional hotel.
Cave houses are traditionally used bioclimatic dwellings that naturally maintain a constant temperature between 18 and 20 degrees, making them cool in the summer and warm in the winter. In our selection, you'll find only officially registered cave houses, the only ones that meet the comfort, hygiene, and safety standards required for tourist accommodation.
The town has everything you need for a pleasant stay: four restaurants with excellent home-style cuisine—one of which offers an authentic flamenco show on Saturday nights—as well as an ATM, supermarket, and pharmacy.
On our list, the cave houses are categorized by pet-friendliness or non-pet-friendliness, so you can confidently choose the accommodation that best suits your needs.
Solano Cave
Solano Cave offers a unique opportunity to disconnect from the world inside a classic-style cave, while still providing all the comforts of a modern home. As one of the tallest houses in the city, it boasts spectacular views of the rest of the city from the comfort of the terrace, which also includes an umbrella and barbecue.
The interior maintains a constant temperature of 18-20 degrees thanks to natural air conditioning and the owner's handmade stove in the living room.
The town has many points of interest, such as the Los Coloraos area, where you can go hiking and horseback riding, the largest megalithic park in Europe, and the Los Algarves caves, a result of the Mozarabic occupation of the peninsula and dating back to the medieval period.
The city is located an hour and a half from the Sierra Nevada ski resort and one of Granada's picturesque villages.
33 km from Guadix and 42 km from Baza, the nearest airport is Granada-Jaén Federico García Lorca Airport, 102 km from the accommodation.
