Cuevas del Pino is an agriturismo farm stay near Cordoba, Andalusia, Spain, which has some lovely quaint and rustic self-catering cottages on its 60-acre organic farm.
It also has the added intrigue of being set around an old stone quarry, which has cave systems to explore and a cave house for overnight stays.
The setting is quite unique and though just minutes from Cordoba’s city centre it is gorgeously peaceful.
The hosts are friendly and charming and you’ll find a creative, bohemian vibe with lots of activities from yoga and meditation to photography and painting workshops, as well as various low-key events: musical performances, micro theatre, and film showings.
THE ACCOMMODATION:
They have a choice of four cottages, two of them are one double bedroom and two of them two bedroom, with the latter able to sleep up to five people.
They are all charmingly rustic and traditional in style with some nice antique furniture and art pieces decorating the space, but clean and comfortable with modern facilities.
You’ll find a well-equipped kitchen, a lounge area, and outside a nice private terrace area with tables, chairs, and sun loungers.
The most unique of the accommodation choices is of course the cave house. A clever bit of architecture, it is, as the name suggests, a cottage built into a cave, with solid rock for (most of) the walls and ceilings. The design is that of an open-plan loft and it is super spacious and stylish.
Though all the accommodation is thoroughly charming the cave house is understandably the most popular so be sure to book well ahead of time.
Outside, there are some nicely tended gardens and an outdoor swimming pool with plenty of space for relaxing.
Beyond that, there is the farm, an organic, eco-friendly project that grows a variety of fruits and vegetables including beetroot and sweet corn.
THE LOCATION:
The farm stay is conveniently near Cordoba, a popular destination for tourists in Andalusia and one which rivals Granada for its rich Moorish history and heritage.
By car, the journey from the city is not much more than 10 minutes but Cuevas del Pino is still appealingly rural, peaceful, natural, and inspiring.
The nearest village is Villarrubia de Cordoba about 2km away. It’s a quiet little place with a few restaurants and shops to stock up on supplies.
Farther afield both Seville and Jaén can be reached in less than 2 hours by car.
WHAT OTHER GUESTS SAY:
“A fantastic stay, in a stunning place, run by warm and hospitable people….”
“We stayed in the cave, a truly amazing piece of architecture perfectly fused with nature. It was spotlessly clean with plenty of towels and bedding. The farm is situated a little way outside of Cordoba centre but it is worth the extra distance to see the stars from your patio at night and to spend time in such beautiful surroundings….”
