Home description
Are you looking for the real Andalucía? San Pedro is a unique cave home in the beautiful village of Orce in Southern Spain. Orce is a gem waiting to be discovered. The village is in an area of outstanding natural beauty, and if you're looking for a relaxing, peaceful holiday then you're going to love San Pedro. With four National Parks nearby you'll find superb walking, cycling and swimming all within striking distance. If all that sounds like too much exertion then head for stunning Lake Negratin where you can swim, fish, hire a pedallo or simply laze on the shore. Still too much? Then sit back, relax and enjoy San Pedro's quiet village location and while away the hours on the patio drinking in the country views. San Pedro is available all year round for holiday rental.

The Costa Tropical/Granada region
The village of Orce sits in the most north-easterly corner of Spain's Granada Province known as 'El Altiplano de Granada' (the High Plain of Granada). The Altiplano is surrounded by high peaks, some of which reach as high as 2,381 metres. The scenery in the area is quite simply stunning; this is a land of stunning contrasts and, because of its rich natural environment, it is a protected area encompassing the Natural Parks of the Sierra de Baza and the Sierra de Castril.
A wealth of breathtaking scenery awaits you all around San Pedro, and if you are a photographer then the amazing unspoiled natural surroundings and abundance of wildlife in the area will afford you the opportunity to capture some incredible images.
Activities on offer in the area include walking, trekking, climbing, horse riding, fishing, canoeing, cycling, para-gliding, quad biking and hiring pedalos - the choice is yours!
Orce area
Orce is a traditional Spanish village with everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. You won't want for anything. The village has 3 general stores, a bakery, 2 butchers, 2 fishmongers, a pharmacy, 2 banks and a post office. Internet access is available in the village library free of charge. Fresh fruit and vegetables are available every day in the village and there is a market in the square every Tuesday.
Orce's natural surroundings are as breathtaking as its historic heritage is evident. The village is full of quaint streets and traditional houses. Traditions and local cooking are still taken seriously in Orce and the combination of these elements will delight your senses whichever time of year you decide to visit Orce.
The village has lots of good bars and restaurants, most of which give free tapas with drinks. Tapas are a speciality in Granada Province and those on offer in Orce are no exception.
If you need to cool off in the Andalucían sun, head for Orce's natural spring pool and swim among the red mullet who live there (children love it)! The pool is always clear and fresh because of the natural source at the base of the pool, constantly bubbling away underneath. The water has thermal qualities, with a constant year round temperature of 21ºC. The spring is a fantastic place to come to swim or just to relax and watch the world go by. Mature elms and willows will shade you from the heat of the sun, and the poolside bar has a never-ending supply of ice creams and cold drinks.
Beyond the village a wealth of stunning scenery awaits you in all directions and there are many activities on offer: including horse riding, fishing, canoeing, walking, cycling, para-gliding, quad biking, pedallos, photography and bird-watching.

‘We had such a GREAT time in "our" cave home in Orce!!!!!! We stayed an extra night, loving the area rather than going up to Madrid. We relaxed; wandered Orce; had coffee and tapas. Thank you so much! We'd definitely recommend it to any and all travellers to Spain - a true highlight for us.’ Carol, Massachusetts, USA
‘Arrived back in England a couple of nights ago and have been raving about your beautiful cave house to everyone who will listen! We absolutely loved it. It really surpassed all expectations. We adored the house, the village, the views - just everything. Very many thanks. We hope to visit again before too long.’ Ann, England
