The advantages of cave houses are many and varied. One of their most endearing and prominent features is their uniqueness. Each cave house has a stamp of individuality so there is something for every taste and style. To add to the individuality of the cave house we at Country Properties in Spain encourage our clients to contribute thoughts and designs for their caves in renovation and decoration.

Another attractive feature of cave houses is the low purchase and maintenance costs. Not only are the initial costs notably lower than those of coastal properties, the running fees are also much more economical. This is mainly due to the ecological characteristics of cave dwellings. Cave houses are naturally able to maintain an average temperature of 20-22 degrees centigrade throughout the year, keeping them warm through the winter and cool in the summer.

All of the caves that are reformed have been inhabited at some time over the centuries and have retained their originality. The ancient structure has stood the test of time and therefore can be recognised as being safe and well built. The caves’ frontages are picturesque, somewhat similar to a cottage and the windows allow light to enter. Lesser used areas of the cave can be lit as needed but the natural layout of many caves enables daylight to reflect and filter to all parts.

All of the cave houses are compatible with modern living and fully equipped with today’s appliances and amenities such as electricity, water and sewerage.

With such contemporary services, “cave life” is certainly not what it once was. Cave houses can be recognised as simply combining the old with the new, giving them an innovative and original style.
