Experience the Extraordinary at Cuevas Helena: A Unique Cave House Retreat!

Welcome to our one-of-a-kind Cave House, where modern living harmoniously blends with the enchanting charm of traditional cave dwellings. Enjoy the comforts of contemporary amenities in a stunning setting, recently renovated to the highest standards. Our spacious rooms provide a generous retreat, perfect for relaxation. Take in breathtaking views of the Sierra de Cazorla from our new swimming pool and unwind in our luxurious 6-seater hot tub.

Our cave home retains original features, such as rustic railway sleepers in the kitchen and master suite wet room. The lounge and main bedroom both feature exposed areas and cozy log burners, creating a warm ambiance during the winter months.

Stay connected with Starlink WiFi throughout the property, making it easy to share your experiences or plan your adventures. And for stargazers, our location offers incredible night sky views, free from light pollution—perfect for an evening of celestial wonder!

Entertainment is at your fingertips with an Ambilight Phillips 55" TV, Blu-ray DVD player, and Bose speaker in the lounge. The dining area comfortably seats six guests and boasts a marble wine holder that beautifully displays up to 29 bottles while adding a captivating touch to your dining experience. The kitchen family area is fully equipped with all-new appliances, including a five-burner gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher, washing machine, large fridge-freezer, coffee machine, and microwave. For outdoor dining, we offer an inviting kitchen space, ideal for enjoying meals on hot days or cooler nights.

Each bed is dressed with cozy feather-down duvets, and we provide plush towels and towelling robes for your comfort.

Step outside to discover our private outdoor area, featuring multiple seating options, including a raised terrace with stunning views. Located just 10 minutes from Mount Jabalcón and the picturesque Lake Negratin, our Cave House offers a tranquil haven while remaining conveniently close to the historic village of Benamaurel, where you can explore local shops, charming tapas bars, and captivating cave dwellings.

Whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure, our area is brimming with activities, including walking, horse riding, cycling, and road cycling. To help you explore the natural beauty surrounding you, we are pleased to provide a complimentary Digital Guide.

Cuevas Helena was proudly featured on Channel 5's "Our Dream Hotel," narrated by Alex Polizzi in 2017, and we are excited to announce that we will soon be featured on "A Place in the Sun" as a luxury property!

Découverte d'une maison troglodyte
Maison superbe et originale avec une fraîcheur (sans climatisation) agréable dans cette région. La décoration et les équipements sont à la hauteur du bien. Merci à Shirley et Marc pour leur disponibilité et discrétion. Je recommande vivement cette location.

Leuk! Heerlijk koel en prachtig.
Meteen toen we aankwamen, veel later dan gepland (23.00), want de huurauto had het begeven, werden we bijzonder hartelijk welkom geheten door Shirley en Mark. Mark had zelfs nog aangeboden ons te komen halen! Omdat we geen boodschappen hadden kunnen halen, kregen we voor de volgende ochtend we een heerlijk Engels ontbijt. De grotwoning was heel mooi. Overal was aan gedacht: heerlijke bedden, goed ingerichte keuken, dikke handdoeken, badjassen, Nespresso apparaat met cups en leuke dingen om mee te spelen in het zwembad. De woning had hele lekkere douches en was heel schoon. Alles was heel goed onderhouden. Af en toe een vliegje, maar je zit tenslotte op het platteland. Het zwembad lag heel mooi, was schoon en groot. De beleving was uniek vanwege de grotwoning en het mooie uitzicht. We zouden het iedereen aanbevelen en hopen nog eens terug te komen.
