Property Description

At Refugio Marnes you can stay in a real 'Jaima' (a Bedouin tent), which we have decorated in a luxurious and original way, for a comfortable and original holiday you will not easily forget. The tent (10 x 5 metres x 4.5meters high) is put over a stone platform and is equipped with a bathroom and kitchen and will easily accommodate 4 persons. There are no noisy neighbours but a specious place with 25 hectares of terrain to stroll around.

Living Area

The tent is one open space (see pictures) whith on one end a double bed and the other a big lounge earea where 2 personas can sleep.

Kitchen Facilities

'La Jaima' is equipped to cook, but when you don't feel like making breakfast, how would you feel about a served breakfast at your tent?

Outside

'Refugio Marnes' consists of a very old finca (property) with 25 hectares of agricultural land, situated in a valley. The terracing is from the Phoenician era, [So from before Christ!]. The finca is named after the area of 'Marnes' to which it belongs. Marnes lies at about 500 metres altitude in a small mountain area in the interior of the Costa Blanca. On the property you will find cultivated carob, olive and almond trees that are common for this area. The house is situated at the end of a country lane approximately 1 Kilometre from the main road. On the land there are three accomodations, the main house, where the owners live, 'La Ruina' a refurbisched barn ad La Jaima. Rural tourism and agriculture are the principle sources of income in this beautiful place, and environmental friendliness leads the way. For example, electricity is provided by solar energy. The swimming pool is constructed as an 'Alberca' water deposit and blends in beautifuly with the surroundings,

Local Activities

What to do;

Refugio Marnes is, above all, a place to rest; getting away from those persistent background annoyances in our lives.
Here, you can read a book, take the sun, have a swim or fall asleep under the shade of a tree, simply enjoying the sounds of nature. The immediate surroundings of Refugio Marnes are an excellent place to have a long stroll or mountain walk.

Sierra de Bernia is famous in the cycling world where professionals have their spring training camps on the Costa Blanca, and Mountain bikers can go directly from the property for a spin along the winding mountain roads.

In Jalon, Benissa and Calpe there are opportunities for horse riding. The area is also known and famous amongst Climbers, where different degrees of difficulty are to be found in the Sierra de Bernia area. The nearest climbs are accessible by car and are just a few minutes away from Refugio Marnes.

You are approximately 30 minutes by car from the coast, so for beach and aquatic activities you have many options. Around Christmas time, 'beach weather' is not unusual here and a golden tan can be gently created under december sun. The coast can become crowded in mid-summer, but there are easily found beaches and ´Calas´ that are unspoiled and that can make you forget you are in a tourist area. Enthusiasts of hang gliding or para-punting will find lots of fun in Calpe. Moreover, we also have a large amount of tourist information on site.
