Unusual cave house in private setting, at the edge of the quiet picturesque village of Cortes de Baza, with its wide, orange tree-lined streets situated north east of Granada. The cave is carved from impervious rock and so retains a temperature of about 18 C all year round. 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 and rolling hills. Good location for day trips, walking or lazing by the pool. Take advantage of the cheap midweek Ryanair flights to Granada and Almeria. Please Note: 3rd week of August is fiesta season in the village.
