We loved the novelty and cool of living in a cave house for a week. Loved the crystal clear pool and swimming. Lovely authentic Spanish house and area. Very quiet. We had great fun at the fiesta. Super base from which to explore a rural area of Spain. We loved it!! Owners ate helpful and informative. Thank you.
Relaxing stay with excellent weather for September
Good outdoor space with variety of seating areas. Had all facilities we needed in the house. Very good wi fi in main living areas. Directions to house from very helpful owners were invaluable. Car essential. Places to visit for walking and towns for days out not too far away. Cave was cool without additional A/C when outdoor temperatures in 30's. Pool was useful for cooling down. Flies outdoors were a bit annoying on some days but outdoor gazebo with dining table and insect net offered some respite and was perfect for outdoor dining. My only suggestion for owners would be to consider changing double bed as frame creaked loudly every time one of us turned over. We didn't try the two single beds so can't comment on those. It is pitch black at night and if your sleep is disturbed by light then this is the place for you, take a torch. Overall we had a relaxing time and quickly adjusted to the quirks of cave living.
Hemos pasado unos cuantos dias disfrutando en esta casa la experiencia ha sido muy buena. Mucha comodidad y muy amplia con una zona exterior muy agradable ( piscina, barbacoa) una casa muy recomendable que no le falta detalle. El unico punto en contra (pero de facil solucion) es que algunos utensilios de cocina estan muy viejos y estropeados. Aun asi la casa es excelente.
We drove approximately 3,000 Km exploring Andalusia, we could not have got abetter place to do it from - it was amazing experience staying in this charming village in wonderful cave and the pool came in extremely handy. We love the Markets and fresh produce too and everthing Andalusia offered - Thank you
Ha sido un acierto, habernos optado este año alquilar la casa en cortes de baza , tanto la casa como el paisaje son excelentes , es un rincón tranquilo calido tiene todo cerca .
Alquiler fĂĄcil sin complicaciones. Alojamiento confortable para quien busca tranquilidad. Los pueblos de la zona son sencillos y con muchas casas-cueva. Castril es el mĂĄs destacable por lo bonito del mismo pueblo y por su ruta de la "Cerrada del rĂo Castril", que ofrece vistas Ășnicas en un recorrido para toda la familia.
Love the area, having stay elsewhere in the village before. Good for dog walking, and lovely friendly local bars.
Very nice property.
Had a few niggles getting organised with hot water, WiFi, and pool, sorted by local contact who was excellent (just not a good use of your time when only away for a few days).
Have only downgraded 1 star for location and neighbourhood, due to very close proximity to goat farm, causing high volume of (not very pleasant) flys.
Era justo lo que estĂĄbamos buscando. Unos dĂas de tranquilidad y relax en un ambiente perfecto. La casa dispone de todo lo necesario para vivir. Muy recomendable.
Es muy bonita la cueva.. Es muy fresquita.. Nos ha sorprendido... Unas vistas preciosas.. Una gran piscina.. Es ideal para niños.. Y sobre todo la gente de el pueblo que son muy buena gente y nos han recibido con los brazos abiertos.. Lo unico que me a parecido mal es que en la llegada no teniamos butano ni el la cocina ni en el calentador de agua..Las 2 botellas vacias que Lo deberian haber comprado los anteriores inquilinos.. Ya que esas son las normas.. Habia una bombona de gas en una estufa y nos apañamos hasta poder comprar butano.. Es el unico problema que hemos tenido..Mario ha estado ayudandonos en lo que hemos necisatado.. Y la verdad que mi valoracion es la maxima valoracion que podemos dar.. Y esperamos poder volver el año que viene si las circustancias nos lo permiten.. Estamos muy contentos y encantados con nuestras vacaciones y recomendamos este fantastico sitio a todo el mundo... Gracias Barry y Helen
Property is as described, but so much more comfortable than expected. Located in a great area for exploring Negratin, Castrill etc.
Barry, Helen (and Mario in Spain) made the trip easy to book and arrive and responded promptly to our silly questions!
The pool was a godsend for our two kids with temperatures outside in the high 30câs!
We had no problems with flies/insects, probably because the goat farm below was very quiet.

Happy for a cave house experience
Truly a place to talk about. Lovely, clean pool on a terrace that surrounds the front of the house...I mean cave! Very well equipped, clean as could be, all sorts of books to check out. Must say, inside it is a little too dark and still for me. The biggest problem was the hordes of flies that prevented us from enjoying the outdoors and even the indoors as they came in through the beaded door any chance they could. Please consider the time of year when staying here.
Ordinary holidaymakers who got the villa/house bug from renting of others. Young family on buying but kids grown up now. Only the one property, so not professionals. Just want to share what we enjoy with others and pay for the upkeep of the pool.
Although very rural and quiet we are on the edge of a village with all facilities. The surrounding area has plenty off beautiful countryside and bigger towns, for shopping. Most nearby villages have markets once a week. This is a very rural community and you will definitely get to live as the Spanish live. In fact we recommend it for maximum appreciation of the area. We fell in love with caves. They are all very individual. Although it does seem to be a love/hate thing as, far as peoples views are concerned over cave living, it will always be an experience
Your own private pool is a definite plus. Although not all year round we can say it is good for June to Sept and May and Oct are for hardier pool users. The cave is cool in Summer and cosy in winter, a constant 19 deg. A wood burner makes it even cosier off season. Relax and take in the view.
