cave houses

Postby Ursula » Tue Aug 07, 2012 8:35 am

I am curious - is it true that a cave house keeps the same temperature all year round, i.e. no need for much heating in winter or cooling in summer?

does anyone live in a cave house?

I would like to stay in one for a weekend just for the experience.

I think we have a troglodyte amongst us.

we have a few friends who have caves, and it does appear to be the case when we have visited )in both summer and winter) and they all sing the praises.

around guadix area there are lots of caves that are used for holiday lets etc, quick search should be able to find something for the weekend.

Thank you everyone. i was just wondering if that is the case and the caves are comfortable all year round then what a saving would be made on gas/elec to heat/cool the house :clap: :clap:
