Finca Foyeta de Tur eng
Relaxation between mountains and seas
We offer you three places where all this simply happens. Immerse yourself in the real world of scents in the medicinal plant garden in front of the living caves, in the fresh water of the pool, in the ecological way of living. No matter where: whether on the Finca Foyeta with the wide view of the sea, the luxurious caves „El Maravedí“ on the edge of the olive valley or the „Jardin de las Aves“, a spacious house in Cantabria on the hill above the Atlantic … nature, luxury and silence between mountains and sea await you everywhere …
La Foyeta
The „Foyeta de Tur“ finca is located in a unique mountain setting near the almond town of Jijona in the hinterland of Alicante on the Costa Blanca, with a view of the coastline and the sea 10 km away. Olive trees, almonds and carob trees grow here in a sheltered valley. The finca’s extra virgin olive oil is in a category of its own, as are the almonds of the old Spanish varieties. Wild flowers also grow on the ecologically managed terraced fields and rare animal species live.
We attach great importance to the protection of nature: a pair of eagle owls breed in a rock in the immediate vicinity, and behind the house live ocellated lizards, a species that is now strictly protected in Spain. The place is an El Dorado for ornithologists and nature observers.
The farmstead made of natural limestone was built at least 200 years ago on the plateau above the valley, around 350 m above sea level, and is surrounded by gorges and mountains that invite you to hike. In 1972, the house was renovated, carefully restored little by little with great taste using ecological materials, and an infinity pool was created. The electricity comes exclusively from the sun and wind. Wastewater is cleaned with a reed purification plant. The simplicity is luxurious here and the clear, valuable aesthetics of the rooms with the original Spanish furniture relaxes the soul.
The location of the finca offers a panoramic view of the distance to the coast and the mountains. The property extends over an area of around 63 hectares around the house. If you love relaxation and peace in a dignified environment, as well as nature and outdoor activities, this is the right place for you, because you can do either one or the other – but both are also possible. If you go on holiday here, you run the risk of never wanting to leave! The Finca Foyeta is suitable for five people.
El Maravedi
We have restored the rooms underground carefully and in a strictly ecological manner. No concrete, no cement, no reinforcement, but pure lime with sand and water as well as clay and bricks were used to restore the earth caves. The luxurious kitchen and two bedrooms are in the anteroom. There is also a cave bedroom with a round bed, all tastefully furnished. The lighting lets everything appear in generous light.
The temperature in the caves is between 22 and 25 degrees all year round. Two very large and high caves are ideal for resting and listening to the fountain or music. In the library inside you can browse through books while the rest of the residents have fun outside at the large saltwater pool. In the middle of a herb garden in front of the caves you can lie down or sit in the shade under the tree and just do nothing and watch the butterflies. El Maravedi can accommodate six people at any time of the year.
El Jardin de las Aves
The house is located over the Atlantic in the province of Cantabria in the very north of Spain, where a mountain range prevents the heat of the south from reaching it. Mild temperatures prevail until December. Even in the rain you feel comfortable. The most beautiful beach in the country is a 15-minute walk away, Playa de la Luania. The spacious house with wooden floorboards and typical windows is located in Cobreces on a hill above the village, where a monastery produces cheese and a small shop sells handmade products for pilgrims, as the Way of St. James passes here. 6 km further, near Santillana, is the Altamira cave with a museum.
The “Jardin de las Aves” – in the “Garden of Birds”, in the large park or the small terraced Zen area on the south side, is teeming with different species of birds such as wrens, woodpeckers, robins and everything that sings and breeds. Away from the noise, you can relax on comfortable loungers or lounge chairs and have an aperitif with a magnificent view of the Atlantic. At night you sleep quietly and relaxed in comfortable beds (8 people, children welcome, dog by arrangement).
