Casa Rural Las Cuevas de Setenil

It was in the best spot,very central we parked about 10 minutes walk away, to avoid the narrow streets,

Location

No person to greet. Needed to find a phone number to get bedroom door code. Hard mattress and neck braking pillow.,

The hotel room was in the old cave dwelling street in the town. We had fabulous views of the area. The room was comfortable and had a jacuzzi bath.

The parking is a little difficult, as the town centre is old and not suitable for traffic. There are also a lot of day-trippers coming in by coach, which makes the restaurants very busy, even at the end of September.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to stay. Despite traveling there, leaving voice mails and emails with arrival times, no one ever got in touch with me/returned my messages or gave me instructions on how to access the property. After trying to find the place, trying to reach via VM or hearing back via email, we ended up having to drive several hours to another location.

No communication from property to coordinate arrival, access to property. No apology or recognition that communication could have and should have been better. I expect a refund since I arrived as reserved but no one was there to let us in. unfortunate, since all the great reviews I read were the reason I chose this lodging for us.

This was one of the more unique places/town that my husband and I have stayed in! The location was very central to all of the main attractions/scenic spots in Setenil. The room was perfect for our evening there and had all the amenities that we needed. The room that we booked "Sombra" looks to be one of their newer room. We were surprised that the room has a little balcony overlooking one of the main streets. It made for fun people watching in the morning. The bed was nice and comfort, and I appreciated how clean everything was. The host provided us with some toiletry items for the high tech looking shower, and even had bottles of water and Cava for us! Those were wonderful little touches! Our host was also easy to get a hold of even after hours of our anticipated arrival time. We got in much later than expected but were able to reach the host by phone and got instructions on entering the room. FYI for those driving in: Be warned! Most of the streets are drivable but they are TINY and require skillful handling of the vehicle. There is few parking spots near the property so we were advised by locals to park at the main parking structure (Parking Martinez Astein) toward the base of the town. Overnight was 20 euros but very safe and secure. We left our bigger luggage in the car and packed a small duffel bag each. The walk up to the property was a slight easy climb, about 15 minutes walk.

It is a very open floor plan aka the bathroom/toilet area is quite exposed! This might be a problem if you're traveling with a friend or if you're modest but it was fine for my husband and I. We just draped a sheet over the glass divider between the bed area and the toilet for a bit more privacy.
