Holiday homes and villas in Bubión

Bubión is one of those villages in the Alpujarra Granadina that keeps the essence of Moorish architecture, with steep streets, launa roofs and views of the Poqueira valley. If you are looking to stay in a house, here you will find 15 options ranging from 81 euros per night to an average of 111, with an average rating of 3.2 stars. Most are apartments (20 in total) and holiday homes (13), although there are also a couple of guest houses, two hotels, two villas and a bed and breakfast. Don't expect large hotel complexes; what dominates is accommodation with character, managed by local owners.

As for areas, the most practical thing is to divide the village in two: the upper part, near the church and the viewpoint, which offers better views but requires climbing considerable slopes; and the lower part, next to the A-4132 road, which makes car access and parking easier. If you come with heavy luggage or mobility problems, choose a house in the lower area or on the wider streets, because many old homes have narrow stairs and difficult access. The houses in the upper part, on the other hand, usually have terraces with spectacular panoramic views of the Veleta peak, and are quieter at night. Las Terrazas de la Alpujarra, for example, is well located to enjoy the views without giving up being close to the center.

The difference between some houses and others is not only in the location, but in the services: some include a fireplace, garden or seasonal pool, while others offer breakfast or a fully equipped kitchen. Before booking, check whether the price includes heating, because in winter the nights are cold and some owners charge a supplement. It is also worth checking whether they allow pets, whether they have stable wifi (in some houses the signal is weak because of the thick walls) and whether parking is free or paid. The months of July and August are the most expensive and have the highest occupancy; on the other hand, April, May, October and November usually have better prices, and the village is just as beautiful. To get there, the easiest way is to drive from Granada along the A-44 to Órgiva and then take the A-4132; the journey takes about 50 minutes. If you come by bus, the Granada-Órgiva-Capileira line stops in Bubión, but the schedules are limited, so check the frequencies before planning your day. Once there, everything is done on foot, although be prepared for the slopes; to move between neighboring villages such as Pampaneira or Capileira, you will need a car or use local taxis.
