Chill !

Darren6 St Austell, Cornwall.
Review Submitted: June 30, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Cave attached to owners house. Friendly couple who gave us plenty of space and privacy but were they if we needed them. Lovely quiet spot and the pool area is secluded and a great place to relax.
Cave is simple and adequately furnished with lots of games, dvd's and local info.
great relaxation.
Owner's Response: Thanks
You were great guests and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. hope to see you again soon

Toglodite's Delight

Steven..... Melton Mowbray
Review Submitted: September 6, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
A really relaxing and enjoyable week in a unique house. Perfect to keep cool when it is very hot outside and a lovely pool to relax beside.
We stayed for a week and were made very welcome by the owners and their two dogs. We definitely recommend the paella and made plenty of use of the BBQ.
You will certainly need a hire car for the whole week even if just to get to the village shops. We used the local firm in Hondon for airport pickup and hire car and would recommend them.
The fresh food market in Hondon de las Nieves is excellent and the Bodega is worth a visit. We also recommend the tapas at the restaurant in Hondon de los Frailes.
There is not a great deal for teenagers to do in the immediate area, but then ours didn't get up before 11 am anyway. The pool was well used and having satellite tv was fantastic as we chose to stay during the Olympics and could still keep up to date.

A Warm Welcome at Casa Arquero

H&M Newport, Wales
Review Submitted: September 3, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
We stayed at Casa Arquero for ten days towards the end of May this year. Our hosts were fabulously friendly and attentive. The property was everything and more that we imagined from the website although, owing to a spell of rain, the coolness of the cave-house environment did not suit my elderly mother. Well equipped and spotlessly maintained. Highly recommended for a serene, get-away-from-it-all holiday. The nearby town of Hondon de las Nieves offers an authentic taste of the 'real' Spain which we loved. And the pool was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!1

The cave house

valentien belgium
Review Submitted: August 25, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
We were there in the june 2008. The first days were a little rainy and also cold. But we could warm ourselves with the nice fireplace! The cavehouse was then a little humid . But when we had fully sunshine, it was a great place to spend our holiday! Normally we are very active people, but the swimmingpool invited us to enjoy the lazy afternoons in the sunbeds at the swimmingpool! The nature is amazing there! This village and the place is such a big contrast with the Costa Blanca, which we didn't like!
The hosts were very friendly and there were always there if we needed something!

We have been in Elche! A great city to sightseeing! We have been visiting all the castles in the region with the car. (Biar, Sax, Monovar, Villena, Ibi, Tibi, Elda, Novelda) You can find this nice drive in a book in the cavehouse!
We went to Cal Blance, Cartagena. Also we have been at Marina playa, which is very nice!
Also Murcia is worth visiting!

We had a nice stay!

Tranquil cave - inland Costa Blanca

heather irish Northern Ireland
Review Submitted: August 25, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Fantastic experience of 'caveman' living, clean with mod cons and value for money. Pool was ideal for our 5 year old to learn to swim, and large enough for the older ones. Very hospitable welcome from Diana and Bill, without being intrusive. We have been on many internet booked villa holidays -this one was one of the best, we would return; choice of 'real' Spain eating places locally. Ideal for relaxing in this tranquil but interesting area; convenient to Alicante airport, aquaparks etc.
