Fascinating concept - i.e. staying in a cave - but the cave space wasn't much different from a country cottage once furnished with old furniture, lighting etc. Our living room was adequate, but the bathroom shower cubicle was in bbad condition. The bedroom (deeper into the cave) was delightful to look at, but the mattress and pillows were hard.
Perhaps this place would be a lot better at the start of the season?

First cabin had bad smell, quickly changed us to another. Restaurant was very good and value for money.
Breakfast was excellent, with lots of choice? The whole place is very interesting and definitely worth a vist

VERY UNIQUE AND INTERESTING "CAVE LIKE" ROOMS. HISTORY OF ENTIRE SURROUNDING AREA WAS DEPICTED IN A VERY INFORMATIVE BOOKLET IN ROOM'S READING MATERIAL.

Really enjoyed our first stay in a cave hotel. The Cuevas del Tio Tobias was a superb complex with many caves scattered around catering for various size families with many facilities on site, ie pool, restaurant, cafeteria. All of the caves had there own fully equipped kitchen so if you wanted, it could be totally self catering. The restaurant was superb, but be warned the portions were enormous. My husband ordered the T bone steak and it was a small joint!! All of the meals in the restaurant could be ordered as 'take away' so could be eaten back at your cave. Wonderful if you have children. As a family holiday centre it was great. .Be warned though we went at the end of May and things were not fully operational, no tables and chairs outside our cave, no cafeteria, no shop and we had trouble finding the reception open. I think we were the only guests there. In spite of that we will definitely visit again, as these caves wre original and not spoilt by too much modernisation. They were furnished with lots of original bits and pieces but the comforts of a good clean bed, proper bathroom and a fully functional kitchen but you felt as if it was how they used to be.

Our stay was just 2 nights but it far outweighed our expectations, so much so that we are considering a return next year with family for a longer period!
