The Experience

Step away from the tourist routes and immerse yourself in a traditional Valencian village with narrow Moorish streets leading off a central plaza and church. You stay in a converted townhouse, beautifully designed to let light flood in and with a roof top terrace – views soar across citrus groves all the way to Ibiza from here.

Breakfast on freshly-squeezed orange juice, Iberian ham with walnuts, goats cheese and crusty bread, either in the dining room or on your private terrace. Set off into the countryside for gentle strolls through the groves, mountain hiking or the Barranco del Infierno, a challenging canyon walk with a corkscrew descent. Owner Rubén and service manager Magda look after you quietly; they can put you in touch with mountain bike hire companies and give advice on routes.

Walk to restaurants in town or get in your car to explore. There’s a good flea market at Jalón (ten kilometres) every Saturday selling antiques and vintage stuff, the three Michelin starred restaurant ‘Quico de Costa’ is a short drive and there are excellent choices in Denia (20 kilometres). It’s 20 minutes to the sea for beaches, swimming and picnics.

Reviews

This house has been refurbished with exquisite taste and a clin d'oeuil to Cesar Manrique. Light, fresh, and pristine, it boasts all the elements of an excellent hotel: rooms are extremeley comfortable and the common areas have lovely pieces of art and glass. Ruben is an excellent host. A well stocked honesty bar provided us with aperitifs before a delicious dinner, and breakfast each morning was varied. Fresh orange juice reminded us of the delicious scent of the flowering orange groves which surround the town and each day we sampled regional specialities. Until the next time we hope...

Highly recommended. A charming town house with lovely views which has been stylishly modernised inside, located in a pretty town. Breakfasts were delightful introductions to some local delicacies, and the friendly host helped us to find very special places to eat; a favourite was within walking distance. Great location amongst orange, lemon, almond, olive and cherry groves, and surrounded by mountains (great for walking), yet still close to the coast.

Exceptional Boutique B&B in an authentic Spanish village 10 minutes away from the coast. The property is decorated with an excellent taste and has a rooftop terrace with a Jacuzzi. Our comfortable room had a private terrace and every morning the breakfast was served on our terrace with beautifully presented fresh and local products. Also, the area is lovely, with a variety of different restaurants and bodegas. We would love to go back and absolutely recommend a stay in Mardenit.

Location

The neighbourhood

Orba is charming. A pretty and traditional village (cars are not allowed in the central, older part) where they still make pottery and leather handbags. It is 154 metres above sea level so the views are panoramic and you are completely surrounded by citrus groves. There are some good restaurants, a market and the church. Much influenced by its arabic past in its architecture and food the village also has castle ruins. There are fabulous walks and cycles (some very challenging) in the mountains without having to get in your car. Fine sandy beaches are dotted along the coastline and there are some serious restaurants for foodies within striking distance.
