Vivood Landscape Hotel VIVOarq

VIVOOD is the result of a sustainable architecture study. The accommodation units were intended to be eco-friendly prefabricated units with a unique, patented, fold-away design. This philosophy was later consolidated with the creation of Landscape Hotels surrounded by nature: VIVOOD Landscape Hotels. The first of these is set in the unspoilt Guadalest Valley.
