Just inland from the busy Costas, in a beautiful setting, this large 5 bed, 3 bathroom villa is set in its own 6 acres of almond groves and has a 10 x 4m swimming pool. The house is in a lovely valley close to Jumilla, a wine-producing region of Southern Spain, with lots of fantastic wine to sample. The house itself used to produce its own wine until a few years ago and the old bodega has now been converted into a large kitchen dining area still houses the original wine press. There is plenty to do if you do not fancy lying by the pool all day and having a BBQ as the sun sets. Locally there is horse riding, trail biking, mountain walks, town to explore and winery tours.The beaches are a mere 45 minutes drive and the fantastic Spa at Fortuna is just 30km. Murcia is 60km away and has much to offer the sightseer and shopper. Closer to home the nearby towns of Jumilla and Pinoso have plenty of restaurants and bars for you to practice your Spanish and try all the fresh produce and tapas.

Guest comments
'If you are after a family holiday in ‘real’ Spain away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist traps in a house with all the mod cons you could think of, within a ten minute drive of supermarkets and excellent local restaurants I wholeheartedly recommend staying at Casa Beatha. Our family had an excellent relaxing holiday and will definitely be booking again.' Schofield family, Wirral
Owner profile
About the owner
We purchased our house in Spain in 2002 as we adore Spain for its great culture, food, relaxing lifestyle and sense of manyana! We have learned Spanish, lived in Spain for 6 months renovating the property ready for rental and love the whole lifestyle, if only we could afford to retire. While we are waiting for that, we are living and working in London and are renting our house out for others to enjoy too!
Year purchased: 2002
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Having holidayed at the costas, we decided to holiday inland one year, carefully selecting a villa with a pool to have all the seaside advantages without the crowds. After 2 days we decided it would be fab to have a villa of our own, and spent the rest of the week property hunting. We came back 6 weeks later, viewed a few more and bought this lovely old finca, which we then spent time (and lots of euros) restoring into a great place for us to use and then decided to rent it out as well to help cover the costs. The location is beautiful, relaxing and peaceful, and when we pop over for weekends we feel we've had a real break from the busy lives back home.
Unique benefits of the property
Driving for just an hour inland gets us to the house, which is a home from home, and we have fully equipped it with everything. We want the filter coffee on, the dishes in the dishwasher, a swim before a relaxing breakfast on the terrace and that all before 10am. There is lots and lots of space and a sense of well being. Local towns have great markets, the Spanish way, all local restaurants do excellent lunches, a great escape from the heat of the sun, a walk in the mountains is easy and a BBQ on the terrace as the sun goes down is just perfect. Not forgetting that Jumilla is also a wine producing region. At night the starry sky is amazing, and its the only place we have seen shooting stars! Pop out during the day, visit Murcia (40 mins), or Cartahena, or Valencia (90min). Great!
