“Traditionally built Setenil house in a superb location”

The best

While in Setenil I really wanted to stay in a property that was built into the cliff face. While this is a new build it's built to match the traditional houses in the village. It was exactly what I was looking for! The host was very friendly. I called her and she gave me the code for the lock box by the front door that contains the key. The location is very close to some of the most famous streets in Setenil as well as most of the shops and restaurants. There's a small supermarket nearby too and it's only a few minutes walk from the bus stop. My laptop connected straight away to the WiFi but for some reason my phone took awhile to connect. After that I have a good connection on both devices for the duration of my stay. The layout is very stylish with a lot packed into a small space. The kitchen has plenty of utensils etc. for making food. The price was very reasonable too. I really enjoyed my stay here!

I stayed for two nights. When I arrived the property it was very clean but by the end of the second night I was starting to notice some drawbacks for having a cliff face for a wall. Dust from the cliff was starting build up as well as a few pebble sized pieces dropping off it. By the time I left there was quite a lot of it building up, worth thinking about if you're staying for more than a few days. The stairs are quite steep. I'm quite tall so I was worried about banging my head on the cliff wall but I didn't. I don't think the stairs are suitable for the elderly or disabled. When I looked at the property online there was a house next door, but when I arrived the house had been demolished leaving this property looking slightly precarious on its own. During the day outside the property is quite busy, with cars and people coming and going. However, at night it was very quiet.

Perfect location, great apartment, only downside it was cold in March (even with the heating on, it takes a few hours) and there are no basic equipments like tea bags, salt, sugar

“Perfectly located cave house”

The best

Perfectly located for a night in Setinel. There was everything we needed for a single night's stay.

The stairs could be an issue for some! The bedroom is a mezzanine floor with steep stairs leading from the lounge. The lack of lighting made it tricky to get downstairs to the bathroom overnight without waking each other up as the only safe way was to turn the lights on. Not sure there is really a solution but just be aware if you have mobility issues.
