Perhaps a prized person may claim that a completely transparent house is not very private and so on, but as soon as you put yourself in the situation, you will see that this so-called flaw is something insignificant compared to its many virtues.
Because the … Gorafe Glass Housewho is the protagonist of this short story, is located in the province of Grenade but literally in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by immensity, with a generally clear sky in the morning and starry at night, far from any source of light pollution, in one of the darkest places in the country. Spending a weekend there is undoubtedly a unique and unforgettable experience.
There, the traveler can understand that what he sings has meaning. Simon & Garfunkel on the sounds of silence. The absolute absence of noise – other than those produced by nature itself, of course – is another of its main advantages. If you want absolute disconnection, you’ve come to the right place.
It was built in 2021 and since then, in addition to serving as decoration for advertisements and television seriesit was used as a sort of one-room hotel. Although it is much more correct to describe this space as a house, ideal for two people since it only has one bedroom.
An evening there is a unique experience
It also has a living room, a refrigerator and a bathroom, as well as a swimming pool. There is air conditioning, so occupants know they won’t be hot even on the hottest days of summer. By the way, it gets cold at night, but shortly before dark it is more than advisable to swim in this outdoor pool. You won’t even need music to accompany it, the desert provides the soundtrack.
Needless to say, the views are exceptional. Everywhere you look in its twenty square meters you will see the typical landscape of the Geoparkthese capricious mountain shapes that time and erosion have shaped for centuries. The Geopark, which occupies an area of 4,722 square kilometers covering three regions in the north of the province of Granada, is worth a visit for many reasons.
But let’s come back home because we have to focus on it and there is still something to tell. For example, it’s a monumental place to do things that generate more noise, but don’t bother anyone for the simple reason that there’s no one there. For example, you can celebrate a wedding there -then the couple enjoys their wedding night when the guests leave- organize business meetings, meetings of friends… The owner company, accessible on its website (www.thehouseinthedesert.com) is responsible for providing all the details.
That said: is the Glass House expensive? Well, as usual, it looks different depending on how you look at it or who is looking at it. Renting it costs 250 euros between Monday and Thursday and 350 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It is more expensive than some hotels, although less than others, but it has the added benefit of being an absolutely unique experiencedifferent from anything that has been experienced before. So it’s a matter of thinking about it.
