Full Description: A beautifully restored and fully furnished self catering cave-house, with all mod cons including free WIFI, is available for holiday rental and mini-breaks in the heart of the stunning unspoilt countryside of rural inland Andalucia in Southern Spain. Hewn from the rock and set on the very edge of the small village of Fuente Nueva, near Orce in the province of Granada and with far reaching views to the mountains, the cave-house is in a wonderful location. Inside the ceilings are high and the rooms are airy and spacious, with most having natural light. Sleeping up to 6, the cave consists of two double bedrooms, two sitting-rooms (one with open fire)( the other separate room can be made up with 2 single beds), dining room, kitchen and bathroom. A cot and hich chair are also available. Outside is a good-sized garden with mature trees for shade, a table and chairs, recliners and a barbecue area. The surrounding scenery is very varied, ranging from semi-desert, scrub-covered hills, cut through by fertile irrigated valleys, to high mountain ranges whose lower slopes are clad in vast pine forests. There are several natural parks in the area, where the possibilities for walking picnicking and observing the wildlife are virtually limitless. Mountain bikes can be hired locally and there are fascinating guided walking and cycling tours available.Anyone interested in archaeology will find plenty to occupy them too, with the village and area famous for its archaeoligical finds. The towns in the region have numerous fiestas, one of the most interesting being Orce's two week long cultural festival in August. Road access is excellent considering the untouched nature of the region. The cave is about 1½ hours from Granada airport and around 2 hours from Alicante and Murcia San Javier airports the majority of the route being by dual carriageway. We are pet friendly.
