About

At the heart of the Sierra de Cazorla, in one of the wildest mountain ranges of Andalusia, the village of Fontanar nestles among centuries-old olive trees and white limestone cliffs. Here, cicadas mark the rhythm of afternoons and nights fall into an almost forgotten silence. It is in this landscape of ochres and honey that the Casas Rurales Cazorla have taken root, true to a rural architecture grounded in stone and the dark wood of local oak trees.

What strikes you from the moment you arrive is the character of the place. One of the houses burrows into the rock like a true cave dwelling — a cueva that some guests return to year after year, from Barcelona or Madrid, because it offers what few destinations truly manage: complete inner silence. Families and groups of friends who take over the full set of accommodations quickly discover they have space to spare. The sleeping arrangements are generous, the living areas comfortable and well-equipped for cooking together the Andalusian recipes picked up at the Cazorla market, just a few minutes' drive away. The beds, regularly praised in reviews, offer a surprising level of comfort for rural houses.

Outside, the pools provide cool respites under the Jaén sun, and the terraces quickly become the headquarters for long evenings. Four families on holiday or a group of friends gathered to ring in the New Year: the setup accommodates large groups with ease. The host, highly present and attentive, ensures that nothing is lacking and that every stay is tailored to fit.

What you carry away from Fontanar is less a list of things seen than something more subtle: the memory of golden light on the stones at dusk, of local bread and olive oil shared around a large table, of a night when the stars alone were entertainment enough. An Andalusia far from the clichés — honest and deep — that makes you want to return, as those who discovered it for the first time can attest.

This is the third time we've repeated the experience at the cave house. We came from Barcelona and we love spending our holidays there. It's a peaceful place where you can disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cave house's customs are wonderful, as is the Andalusian patio. We love enjoying the cave house, as it's cool and fantastic during the heat waves. The mattresses are new and of good quality, so we sleep great. The houses have all the kitchen and cleaning supplies. They also provide bath towels and sheets. The house's facilities are fantastic, large, and everything is lacking in detail. They have four cave rooms and one that isn't. Two bathrooms, and the refrigerator is also a new American-style refrigerator. Everything is very clean. The outdoors is great, with a barbecue and an area with armchairs and loungers. Downstairs, there's a small playground. The pool area is upstairs, with a Balinese bed and loungers. Plus, they've now renovated it, adding artificial turf and a full bathroom with two showers. So we're delighted to repeat the experience. Plus, Victor, the owner, and his fantastic family are lovely and super friendly. We'll definitely be back.

We were four families together and had more than enough space. The houses are very comfortable and well-equipped for large groups. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the pools were lovely and well-maintained. Victor, our host, was very friendly and recommended some great things to do.

A group of friends and I stayed to end the year. The house is very nice, and the host's service is excellent. I would suggest a few improvements, which I imagine he wouldn't have much trouble making, but they would enhance guests' comfort. These are simple things, like having a metal bucket to carry the embers from downstairs to the barbecue upstairs, or keeping the firewood closer to the house and better covered in case of rain (simple things the host will surely address soon). Otherwise, it's a great place to go with family and friends.

We spent a week in the summer with a large group of friends and children and thoroughly enjoyed both houses. Casa Costumbres is a cave house and very cool. The kitchen and dining area is spacious, and all but one of the bedrooms are caves, each themed around a different theme (wine, olive oil, bullfighting, flamenco, etc.). The feeling of sleeping in a cave might not be for everyone (two bedrooms don't have windows), but during a heatwave, it was a welcome relief. Casa Patio is right above it and also has a very spacious common area (kitchen and dining room) with a high ceiling that gives the house a great sense of spaciousness, although it's not as cool. Its bedrooms are very nice. We liked both pool areas; some of us enjoyed the heated pool more (which is used as a regular pool in the summer), while others preferred the upstairs pool, which has a bar area for barbecues. There's also a large gazebo with two big tables and a barbecue. Both houses were very clean, and according to Victor, the owner, the mattresses were new, which we were able to confirm. Areas for improvement include the toilet seats, the lack of a washing machine (although there is a dishwasher), the absence of a clothesline for drying swimsuits and towels, and the need for an extra fan in one of the rooms of the Patio house. Special mention to the owner, Victor, who was very kind and attentive at all times; he even helped me with a car problem. The area around the house is very quiet and safe, ideal for rest and relaxation. Fontanar is very close to Pozo Alcón, which has supermarkets, a pharmacy, a gas station, ATMs, bars, and cafes. There are numerous nature trails nearby, all within a 30-minute drive. In my opinion, it's an ideal option for large groups looking to relax, disconnect, and enjoy the mountain surroundings. 100% recommended.
