A 78-Year-Old Woman Built A Home Inside A Cave — The Inside Will Surprise You

The Rainwater Bathing Pool

The Rainwater Bathing Pool

Tucked away behind a privacy screen of woven reeds lies Elena’s unique bathing sanctuary. She carved a deep, smooth basin directly into the cave floor to collect pristine rainwater from an upper fissure.

To bathe, she heats water on her stove and pours it into the stone pool, creating a soothing, steam-filled bath. The natural minerals in the cave walls make every bath feel like a luxurious spa treatment.
