About this property

Unusual Cave House With Private Pool And View

Unusual cave house in private setting, at the edge of the quiet picturesque rural village of Cortes de Baza, with its wide, orange tree-lined streets situated north east of Granada. It is not unusual to see tractors parked outside peoples houses while the farmers have their lunch. The local farmers are olive and almond growers and goat herders.
There is a bedroom with two single beds and a double bed in a room adjacent to dining area.
The cave is deliciously cool in summer, cosy in winter. Well appointed with modern appliances and the luxury of an exclusive private swimming pool (Apr to Oct only) and terrace. Impressive view of Jabalcon mountain and rolling hills. Good location for day trips, walking or lazing by the pool. Take advantage of the cheap midweek Ryanair flights. Please note: Penultimate weekend of August is fiesta season in the village.

Hors les manquements dans la maison, on a passé de bonnes vacances. Cortes est un beau village. Pour nous (famille avec 3 enfants), la grotte est trop petite. La cuisine est trop petite et pas bien équipée (une seule poêle, pas de garde, pas de passoire, trop peu de verres, pas de couteau qui coupe,....) Il y a le vis à vis et l'odeur de la ferme de chèvres juste à côté qui ne sont pas nommés dans l'annonce. Par contre, le calme et la vue sont magnifiques !

Casa estupenda y entorno relajante
Hemos estado muy bien en la casa, muy grande y acogedora. La zona exterior fenomenal con la piscina, barbacoa, tumbonas y sillas . La temperatura dentro de la casa agradable. En general muy bien. Solo decir que no salía agua caliente en la ducha, pero nos apañábamos con el agua fresquita ya que ha echo calorcillo. Los pueblos de los alrededores muy bonitos y la zona de Jaén y Granada. Hacer mención especial a la cafetería Isabelita de Benamaurel, se desayuna, se come y se cena de lujo! Sus pizzas espectaculares. En definitiva una casa y un sitio para volver. Gracias!

Una casa-cueva muy acogedora
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.

Très jolie maison. Piscine très bien quoi que un peu fraîche. Jolie environnement mais rien à voir.
Dommage que l on soit envahi de mouches. Rien à faire dans le village. Pas de resto. Village fantôme. Il faut faire 35 minutes de route pour aller faire les courses. Endroit où il faut aller sans ado. Et vouloir des vacances pour ne rien faire. Mauvaise expérience pour nous

Anti-stress ideal.
Alquiler fácil sin complicaciones. Alojamiento confortable para quien busca tranquilidad. Los pueblos de la zona son sencillos y con muchas casas-cueva. Castril es el más destacable por lo bonito del mismo pueblo y por su ruta de la "Cerrada del río Castril", que ofrece vistas únicas en un recorrido para toda la familia.

Peaceful Getaway
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.

Fantastico
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

Authentic Spanish Gem
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 30c’s! We had no problems with flies/insects, probably because the goat farm below was very quiet.

6/10 Okay

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.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

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

What makes this property unique

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.
