Unfortunately the peace and quiet at night was constantly interrupted by a barking dog which shares a concrete courtyard with two horses and was left unattended most nights in the new property across the valley. Barking dogs in rural Spain are part and parcel of life but this one was a bit excessive. Therefore although the property itself is excellent we could not recommend it to a friend. Let us know if the dog goes and we will gladly return some time in the future."

We loved watching the goats go out each morning...we really miss hearing the the sound of their little bells clanging. Our only gripe would be the lack of sun loungers and parasols. There were 4 of us but only 2 loungers, (plus a camp bed), and although their were 3 parasol bases, there were no parasols. It didnt spoil our holiday...we just took it in turns to use the loungers, but it would have been nice to have a couple more."

"We all fell in love with your cave and the area,thanks very much for sharing it with us.The facilities are fantastic and the pool was just heaven sent in the hot weather.Really sad to leave and we said that one week is not enough ! We did manage to squeeze in a trip to Zujar for a lounge in the thermal baths (and does it make you sleep well !! ) ,a trip to Bazar and as we mentioned we drove to Aquola water park in Granada on sunday ࿑ euros for a family of four) and had tea in Granada before heading back to the airport.
We have so many great memories and look forward to returning someday soon (before we eventually retire out here!)
regards
The Jolly Family, Cambs

"Dear Helen and Barry,
Just a quick e-mail to let you know that we had a wonderful time at your fabulous cave house . We settled in very quickly and found the peace and quiet idyllic. We have told all our friends and family about our experience and we hope to return again, maybe earlier in the season next time, so we can enjoy that 'cool pool' !! .
Best wishes
Maxine and Dougie (Oct 08)"

We have just returned from a week in "the cave". What a fantastic rest we have had! Temps were in the late 30s and the cave was a cool respite from the heat. The pool is lovely and cool too. At night, the stars are beautiful and in the day the views are stunning. The cave exceeded all expectations. Thank you for sharing your lovely holiday home with us"

"Excellent pool and great view. Peaceful location on edge of quiet, friendly village. The interior was on the basic side but OK. Only real gripe was close proximity to shed full of smelly goats (right below the patio) with consequent odours and attendant plague of flies"
Owner reply:
:
To be fair it is a cave house, and it is "rural" Andalucia. Thats what the locals do, goats and olive oil.

The people were very friendly and Mario was a great help and very friendly!
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and have both said that we would like to go back again - i would recommend this place to anyone - it was fab!
I would also like to thank Barry & Helen for being so helpful when booking - they made the whole process very easy and were a pleasure to deal with.
Overall it was a great holiday and we will definately be back some time in the future!"

"Quite easy to find. Good directions but needed to know that town of Baza was more like 15km away than the five miles quoted!
Mario at the Tiki tan Bar excellent host and dealt with all queries and problems efficently and promptly.
Rather like a camping out experience but a most enjoyable one."
Owner reply:
:
Have adjusted some of the mileage to places. Have to say we just guessed them initially. Roads are so quiet and easy to drive we under estimated. Sorry.

So you can tell how much we enjoyed it.
Clean and well looked after. The pool is excellent.
We do not speak Spanish, but the locals were so patient with us. We managed just fine.
Great place for a relaxing, laid back holiday.
Good nights out in village (only 5 minutes walk maximum)
Great lake not far away.
Main Baza town only 20 minutes away, where there are loads of shops/supermarkets. (Mercodona being the best if you want English food). There is also a Lidl!
Thought the kids would be a bit bored but they loved it (8 years/13years).
Recommend highly to anyone

| "We very much enjoyed our first stay in a cave house. Everything we needed for a comfortable, self catering holiday was supplied. The cave stayed at a constant 23C which felt like it had air conditioning during the hottest part of the day when it was over 30C outside. The village shops were a short stroll away and provided most of provisions. Mario's bar was a great place to meet local Brits and have drink or a snack/meal. We drove, on average, 80 miles a day to visit local places of interest and just take in the fantastic scenery,etc. The thermal baths are well worth a visit, although we found the best route was via Baza and took about 40 minutes. We had a very relaxing 10 days, it was so peaceful, especially inside the cave house. A great experience which we would do again."

| "We had a great time staying in the cave. The area is rural and not spoilt by tourism; we enjoyed learning some spanish.
The pool was great - the children really enjoyed it. Weather was super, but too hot to stay out after 12 for a few hours, but it was the hotest time of the year!
The municipal pool was also good, large, and child friendly, with some play equipment on site.
We'd recommend the cave for a holiday,
Thanks."

"We had a fantastic time in your cave in Cortes de Baza. The swimming pool was lovely and the cave really comfortable and cool. The children enjoyed the novelty of sleeping in their cave bedroom.
Mario and Natalia could not have been more friendly or helpful and we really enjoyed the things to see and do. We found the pool at Orce, an amazing place. Mario sorted out canoeing for us on Lake Negratin which we really enjoyed. We also visited the Alhambra and Castril on market day.
It was a lovely week and we would love to return some time.
With best wishes,
John & Fiona
