La Casita de Rufo, Granada Overview
La Casita de Rufo is located in Granada, Spain. Rated 9.7 out of 10 based on 6 guest reviews.
La Casita de Rufo is a family-friendly stay in Cenes de la Vega, Granada, Spain, set on Calle Fabrica, 16 for an easy base when you want both countryside calm and quick access to the city. The accommodation is a practical choice for groups who prefer space and routine, with non-smoking rooms and air conditioning to keep things comfortable in warmer months. Reviews rate it highly at 9.7/10, with guests repeatedly highlighting the smooth, helpful approach from the team and the overall comfort of the property during their stay. If you’re travelling with pets, this is one of the few options that explicitly allows them, which many reviewers find reassuring when planning a road trip.

Spend quieter evenings on the terrace, or use the shared lounge/TV area when you want a relaxed indoor moment.

For winter sports lovers, Sierra Nevada is about 33 km from Cenes de la Vega, offering a straightforward route when conditions are right.
