Eco Holiday Home ‘EcoVida’: A Unique Hideaway in the Mountains of Alicante

Are you looking for an eco holiday home in Spain where peace, nature, and comfort come together? This Valencian farmhouse, lovingly and carefully restored, offers everything you need for an unforgettable holiday. The nature house is hidden away in the stunning surroundings of the Sierra de Bernia, right behind Refugio Marnes.

Just 25 minutes from the vibrant Costa Blanca, you can enjoy panoramic views, serene silence, and unspoiled nature.

With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a cozy lounge area, this is the perfect place to completely unwind. When staying here, you have access to a delightful swimming pool that blends beautifully into its natural surroundings.

Why choose this eco holiday home in Spain?

Finca EcoVida combines rural charm, modern amenities, and sustainability. It is set on a vast estate of over one hectare, surrounded by nature. Its location on the edge of a nature reserve makes it ideal for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

 

Additionally, the house is completely off-grid and runs on an innovative solar power system. This not only makes it environmentally friendly but also an inspiring example of how to live sustainably without sacrificing comfort.

Layout of This Wonderful Holiday Finca

As soon as you enter, you immediately feel the atmosphere of the Mediterranean lifestyle. The house features a covered terrace (porche or riu-rau), leading to a cozy dining and living area. Here, you will also find the kitchen, which connects to a charming lounge corner.

The ground floor features two bedrooms: one spacious bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and another equally spacious bedroom, accessible through the living room. These rooms were once the stable and the bodega. The bathroom exudes a beautiful historic charm, with a high ceiling and an original olive oil collection vat. In the bedroom (formerly the stable), a sliding door opens onto a small private patio (corral), where you can peacefully enjoy your first cup of coffee in the morning.

The upper floor offers two additional bedrooms, each with its own washbasin, and a shared bathroom. The entire house radiates tranquility and simplicity, making it the perfect place to unwind.

  • A dishwasher, giving you more time to relax.
  • A fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to prepare delicious meals.
  • A pellet stove, providing cozy and sustainable heating for the living and dining area.
  • High-speed internet via a low-orbit satellite connection.

With these facilities, you can enjoy a worry-free and comfortable holiday.

A Sustainable Eco Holiday Home in Spain: Off-Grid and Eco-Friendly

The finca is completely off-grid and operates on a large solar power system with a massive energy buffer in the form of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) batteries—free from cobalt. This allows all appliances, such as the washing machine, dishwasher, and other modern amenities, to run entirely on sustainable energy. If the sun doesn’t shine for a while, a backup generator ensures that the batteries are recharged. Thanks to smart energy use—such as running the washing machine during the day—this generator is rarely needed. This way, you can enjoy a luxurious stay while keeping your ecological footprint to a minimum.

Things to Do Around Finca EcoVida in Spain

The house is perfectly located to explore both the coastline and the inland regions of the Costa Blanca. Within a 30-minute drive, you’ll reach charming coastal towns like Jávea, Moraira, Dénia, and Altea. For a trip to a larger city, Valencia and Alicante are both within 1.5 hours.

The immediate surroundings, the Jalón Valley (Vall de Pop), are home to picturesque villages like Llíber, Jalón, Parcent, and Alcalalí, where you can enjoy vineyards, almond trees, and a unique microclimate that provides spring-like weather almost all year round.

In Benissa, just 25 minutes away, you’ll find everything you need: supermarkets, restaurants, cozy terraces, and more.
