About the host
Hosted by Shirley Graham
We are a married couple who moved from Edinburgh to Spain in 2010. In 2016, we purchased our first cave, which was originally our holiday home. We completely refurbished it as it was previously an animal cave. If you're interested in our journey, you can watch some of it on our YouTube channel.
Initially, it was never our plan to have a cave rental, but like all good plans, it was conceived over a bottle of wine. Cuevas Helena's journey began this way, but it's a long story for another time.
As some of you may already know, Cuevas Helena was filmed throughout its renovation and has been aired in several countries worldwide on "Our Dream Hotel." We have a DVD in the cave, and guests love to watch it while staying here. It helps them get a feel for where they're staying and appreciate the hard work that went into creating Cuevas Helena.

What makes this property unique
Staying in a Cave House during the summer months provides a unique experience unlike any other accommodation. The natural insulation of the cave walls keeps the interior cool, making it unnecessary to use air conditioning or fans. While the outside temperature can reach up to 40°C, the temperature inside a cave house remains constant at around 18°C all year round, providing a refreshing respite from the heat. This makes it an ideal place to stay during the hot summer months. Not only does it offer a comfortable sleeping environment, but it also provides a natural, eco-friendly way of keeping cool.
