Experience a farm stay on the Costa Blanca?

Yes, on our estate it is a reality! The province of Alicante and the Costa Blanca are not traditionally associated with rural tourism. However, our Agritourism Spain is located in the rural area tucked in behind the coastline of  the Northern Costa Blanca. A large rural area is situated just three kilometers as the crow flies from the coast. Thus enabling us to enjoy the best of both worlds. We therefore have on our doorstep the beautiful beaches and coves, the hustle and bustle of the coastal towns. And on the other hand the peace and tranquility of the countryside of the provinces of Alicante and Valencia.

Refugio Marnes it is approximately 20 minutes by car from the coastal road running from Benissa to Calpe (the N332). Alicante is approximately 55 minutes by car. Visitors MUST visit the typical Spanish towns on the coast such as Altea, Javea and Denia

Spain´s third largest city, Valencia, is just over an hour away heading in a northerly direction. Valencia is certainly worth a visit,  it is full of culture and tradition.

And further it hast the expansive dune beaches to name but a few.
