Finca Arboleda is a little oasis situated 5 mins drive from Vera town. A beautiful 10m x 5m pool with salt filtration system, so no excessive chlorine, awaits you. There is English sat. TV and a WiFi network. The apartment is next to our house and the villa is on the lower terrace of the garden. Both lie in over an acre of land, which is planted with more than 100 mature olive, citrus and mixed fruit trees, so there is nearly always fresh fruit to pick like Apricots, Figs, Lemons and Plums. Imagine making juice from Oranges you've just picked or using our own Olive Oil and eggs. We are very well situated in a country location close to 4 golf courses and only 10 mins from the coast. There are sea and mountain views and it’s a good area for walking and bird watching. We get lots of return bookings and are on site should you need any local information. This is the perfect place for a peaceful "away from it all" holiday, but ideally situated within easy reach of beaches, shops and town.

Coast/Beach
The closest beach is Puerto Rey which is less than 10 mins drive from Vera town. It is very large and deserted for most of the year. There are literally dozens of other beaches along the coastline and they offer something for everyone from Mojacar with its English facilities and water sports and Vera playa with its Aqua park to numerous quiet sandy coves. The Cabo de Gata has fantastic unspoilt beaches with clear water, caves and great snorkling, we can help you with maps and a guide book.
Golf
There are 4 golf courses within a 15/20 min drive making it the ideal base for a golfing break. The closest, 5 mins away, is the Valle del Este course which is an 18 hole par 71 course with fitness club on site. The Marina de la Torre is a par 72, 18 hole course split into two nine holes on either side of a hill, one overlooking the sea in Mojacar and the other overlooking the valley. A restaurant bar and golf shop are also on site. The best is the unique championship course of Desert Springs, near Cuevas. It is an 18-hole par 72 course with superb views. Desert Springs has a restaurant, bar and driving range and is worth a visit even if you do not play. The fourth is the 9-hole Cortijo Grande which can be played as 18 holes with dual tees for all holes. This is an established course situated in the beautiful foothills of the Sierra Cabrerra Mountains. All have the usual course facilities.
Skiing
The Sierra Nevada is about two and a half hours away. This is a very popular skiing resort for the Spanish.
Special interest holidays
Cycling, the area is great for cycling on and off road and we have 2 mountain bikes suitable for adults that you are welcome to use.
Olive picking, this takes 3 days around the 25 November and on the 4th day we take them to the press. If you have never sampled freshly pressed oil then this is a must do experience. You can even take some oil home for a truly original xmas present.

Guest comments
We have just returned from another holiday staying in the apartment and just love finca arboleda! Emma & Louise.
Our third stay with Mick & Pirkko not forgetting Stiggy. The accommodation is very very good. We have seen lots of improvements since our first visit in 2004 with central heating and a new kitchen. The cottage was not available at that time but the finished article is fab. The location is perfect.
The Veators.
The villa was the most relaxing and peaceful location we have ever stayed in. Eating lunch outside, sqeezing oranges freshly picked from the trees every day, feeding the chickens, greeting the lovely Stig! What more could we want? Chris, Richard, Abigail & Sam.
A wonderful time. Almost a month of peace, fresh air and fun. I came to work - and it worked out. My toddler son loved the chickens and Stig, and I loved the internet connection. The perfect writer's retreat. Helen.
