This original cave house is a fantastic grotto which has been sympathetically restored to retain as many of its original features as possible without compromising the modern facilities expected by today’s holiday makers. Full of natural character, the house has been furnished and decorated throughout in a rustic, kitsche Andalucial/Moroccan style.

The house is situated in the Cuevas del Cerrico (cave house) quarters high above the traditional Spanish town of Baza. From the front, its elevated position affords stunning views over the town to the countryside and mountains beyond; whilst the back of the property borders onto rural land, dotted with farmhouses and abandoned cave dwellings. Unlike the bustling town below, the area surrounding the cave house is very quiet – its tranquillity broken intermittently by the sound of church bells to the fore and goat bells to the rear.

Although the cave house quarter has all the advantages of a sleepy village, it is only a 15 minute walk from the bustling town centre. Here one can find a plethora of tapas bars, restaurants, shops and several decent sized supermarkets. There is an open air market every Wednesday and a car boot sale on Sunday.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, there are several pony trekking centres, Lake Negratin (with thermal baths) and the Sierra de Baza national park. This area is also a bird watchers paradise. Larger towns seaside resorts and, of course, the city of Granada are all within easy driving distance.
