Owner's Tips

Serenity is 40 minutes drive north west of Murcia city in countryside known as "Campo de Ricote", a scenic unspoilt area of traditional towns and villages nestling in the Sierra del Oro (Gold Mountains). The area is perfect for walking, climbing, cycling, mountain biking, canoeing and for the more relaxing pursuits of painting, birdwatching and fishing. There are many places of interest to explore locally and much opportunity to sample the local cuisine, regional dishes, tapas and wines. The area is a fruit growing area with an abundance of citrus, peach, apricot, cherry, almond as well as grapes for eating and making the local Ricote wine. The beaches of the Costa Calida are 75 minutes drive, Granada is 2 hours drive, whilst local places of interest such as the sanctuary of the Saint Esperanza at Calasparra are within 45 minutes drive. Car hire is essential although the owners can provide airport transfers/tailor made trips to local places of interest if you do not wish to drive.

The nearest shops, bars and restaurants are at Blanca, Ricote, Abaran and Bullas, which all have banks, bakeries, supermarkets, chemist and a local market day, are within a 20 minute drive radius. The two local restaurants serve paella, meats cooked on the open fire and other traditional Spanish fayre. You can also order takeaway paella. The owners have lots of information and recommendations about local bars and restaurants and will call and order paella for you if you don´t speak Spanish.

About us
I started my business Find The Real Spain from the successful and extremely enjoyable experience of renting my own property, La Terraza, in the Jalon Valley. Friends and neighbours here in Spain approached me to rent their properties for them and that´s how the business started! I have a portfolio of around 30 properties for holiday rental - individual, high-quality and all with private pools, in the areas of the Jalon Valley, inland Costa Blanca and inland Costa del Azahar (between Alicante and Valencia).

What we love about our business
I´ve always enjoyed travel, homes, gardens and sunshine so I guess this is the ultimate job for me! We offer a very "hands on" approach to our guests ensuring that they are met on arrival, shown around their holiday property, answer any questions they may have on arrival and we are always at the end of a phone for support if required during their stay (the holiday property information folder is comprehensive but there is always further information that can be helpful depending on the guests´ particular interests).

Year we started: 2005
