The finca consists of a main building and a rear building of about 100m² plus a private roof deck of 25m². The rear building is the one, who is to be leased, and it spreads over two levels. It is equipped with antique Spanish furniture, an aesthetically arranged stonework kitchen and a modern bathroom. There are two bedrooms with one double bed (sep. mattresses) resp. King-size-bed.
On the ground floor the one large room includes an open fireplace on one end with a day bed as well as a separate sleeping area on the other. Staircases on either end of the room lead up to the lofts on the first floor. A separate closed bedroom is located on one side with a gallery leading up to the roof terrace. On the opposite side of the first floor another gallery with an open dining and reading room with a library and media centre is situated, only a few steps from the large kitchen. From here the modern bathroom with window and floor-even shower and the roof terrace are accessed. From this terrace, you get an overview over the whole valley with those up to 400 years old olive- and carob trees. A wealth of information on flora and fauna is presented in books readily available to visitors of the house. Guided tours starting from the house into the closer and more distant surroundings can be booked.
Guests can relax at the saltwater-infinity-pool on their own sun lounger. But the sandy wide beach of San Juan as well is only 25 minutes drive away, shopping can be done in Jijona, Muchamiel, San Juan or Alicante, the supermarket in Jijona is a 15-minutes-drive away. Good restaurants can be found in Muchamiel, at the golf-course Bonalba near Muchamiel, Campello and Alicante.

The eco finca

The Finca Foyeta de Tur is a luxurious ecological house. Electricity is generated using solar and wind energy and we work the pool-pump, dishwashers and a washing machine with it, latter is shared with the main building and is located in a small lodge in the courtyard. Gas is used to run the fridges, cooking-ovens and hot-water-boiler.
To reduce electric smog, we decided to refrain from WIFI connection. Mobile coverage is given, however it can be intermittent throughout the house as the next antenna is located 4-5 km in the distance. A consolation: A DVD player with flat screen and a well-assorted DVD library as well as a HIFI system with I-pod connection are available, as well as games.
The water stored in a 50.000 liter cistern behind the building originates from a well in Castalla, located in the farer mountains. The finca is also equipped with a well and rain water from the roof is collected in a separate 10.000 liter tank. However, due to dry summers with no rain for long stretches of time, water is precious and we try not to waste any.

We don’t use insecticides inside the house (and outside as well!), but instead rely on fly screens and mosquito nets, as well as essential oils of natural origin. In the cleaning of the house only ecological products are applied.

Animals and plants are considered fellow creatures to us and therefore we hold them dear. Many rare animals and plants, as well as more common ones live and grow in vicinity of the house and they are welcome.
The building comes with an efficient fireplace and gas heater to heat the building during colder nights, while a fan is installed in the bedroom for hot nights.

The pool

The pool is over 8m long and offers breathtaking views. When sitting on the stone bench in the water, you need to decide if you’d rather enjoy the panorama of Alicante, San Juan and the sea, or if you prefer gazing at the „Cabezon de Oro“ mountain.
The water is cleaned with a electrolysis system and we do not add additional chlorine. So the typical smell of chlorine is missing. Rainwater from the roof is filling up the pool if needed. The pool shower also works with rainwater.
The deck chairs at the pool as well as the pool terrace are solely used by our guests, for a relaxing siesta or a romantic dinner with views of the vast surroundings…
Drifting in the slightly salty water gives a feeling to flow towards the horizon and finally escape…
