In the summer months (May-September), the thermal bath, 8 km away, is open with hot water.About the OwnersWe, Petra and Reinier, discovered the cave houses of Gorafé on our holiday-trip through Spain. Instantly falling in love, we bought an abandoned cave to turn it into a holiday home with our own hands, incomparable. For 8 months we have been cutting 80 wheelbarrows of pressed clay out of the mountain every day, shovelling them into wheelbarrows and lugging them down the mountain. What started as a miner's corridor sparsely lit by lamps hanging from nails, has become a unique house that we are happy to show you and experience!House Rules: • Check-in time 4 p.m., check-out time 10 a.m. • Smoking is not allowed • Parking is free at the foot of the hill • Pets are welcome• Washing machine is included for your use
