We are committed to the environment and work towards sustainable tourism.
That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
At Casa Don Eliseo, we are very committed to the conservation of biodiversity in the Granada Geopark and to good environmental practices. We highlight some of our actions:
- We are part of the Alvelal association, which works to transform a landscape marked by desertification into a living example of sustainability and resilience, regenerating the landscape with the help of local farmers.
- For us it is important to select products that come from small producers in the territory, organic when possible and with a regenerative culture, such as Segureño lamb, local cheeses or organic local olive oil.
- We have rehabilitated the house thinking about preserving its history, but from an ecological perspective using natural paint, beeswax and linseed oil to rehabilitate the old hydraulic tiles or preserving the old doors, for example.

Casa Don Eliseo is more than just a place to stay; it's an invitation to step back in time. This stately home was built in 1901 by Don Antonio Avellán, a judge in Castilléjar, as a family residence. His son, Don Eliseo Avellán, a renowned surgeon in the early 20th century, gave it the name we proudly reclaim today. More than a century later, Casa Don Eliseo is reborn with the same character it possessed at its inception.
For four years, we have carried out a respectful and passionate restoration, largely done by hand. We have preserved the original materials: hydraulic tile floors, fine woodwork, and handcrafted moldings. We have also restored authentic period furniture, objects, and details to faithfully recreate the atmosphere of a 1900s Modernist home.
During your stay, you can explore the house and visit our small family museum, which tells the story of the house and its former inhabitants. Every corner, every detail, every object tells a story. Because Casa Don Eliseo is more than just accommodation: it's a living house, with soul and history.
