Mariola Secreta

Wow! what a beautiful place Andrea and Ben have created! A very relaxed feel with fabulous comfy rooms, excellent food and two great hosts. All in a stunning national park. We recently stayed at Mariola Secreta for a 4 day break and couldn’t recommend more highly. Ben and Andrea had thought of just about everything to make our stay as relaxing as it could possibly be from the minute Ben collected us from Alicante airport to the minute he dropped us back for our return flight. Rooms, food, mountain biking, pool - just everything was fab!

An absolutley fabulous place to relax and unwind. The house is simply stunning and it's situated in the most beautiful surroundings. The hosts Ben & Andrea are superb and on hand 24/7 to assist with any of your needs. Definitely a 10/10!

This is a beautifully restored and furnished farmhouse. Andrea and Ben are exceptional hosts and provide exceptional comfort. I would love to return for another yoga retreat with Leanne who is an excellent teacher and the culinary delights conjured up by Andrea. My particular dietary needs were well catered for and the home-baked sourdough every day was truly scrumptious!

Angela and Ben are the perfect hosts in the most sublime setting in the Serra de Mariola. This amazing couple have created, from dust, an amazing house that is both stylish and welcoming. Angela’s home cooked food is delicious. ( there maybe magic and wizardry involved because it’s that scrumptious) And nothing is too much trouble for Ben, who is a font of local knowledge. Would definitely recommend a stay here and I am definitely going back.

We stayed here for a 4 day yoga retreat. The farmhouse is stunning, beautifully restored and decorated. Andrea and Ben have thought of everything guests may need for their stay. We had our yoga sessions by the pool when it was warm. When it got cooler, we were in the 'barn' with huge windows (Spotting the occasional red squirrel as we practiced). Aside from the yoga Ben gave us a taste of the local mountain biking and walking which was great, loads to explore. Andera's cooking was fantastic, both delicious and healthy. I would highly recommend Mariola Secreta, it's a special place.

Ben and Andrea are the most accommodating superb hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. Fabulous food, gorgeously renovated rooms, 100% recommend. Lovely pool, walking/cycling trails. We went for a yoga retreat and it was perfect in every way.

We have just enjoyed an incredible break at this gorgeous retreat. Such peace and tranquility! Ben took us on some incredible guided mountain bike rides (from the doorstep!) deep in to the national park, with great variety of trails from cross country to downhill… Ben and Andrea have done an extraordinary job of renovating this house, whilst retaining all of the charm and character of the old building. As well as this, they are amazing hosts and Andrea is a superb cook, creating fresh creations seemingly effortlessly every day! Superb break to get away and recharge for a few days.

Mariola Secreta is a superbly renovated traditional Valencian 'Masia' farmhouse set in the heart of the Sierra Mariola National Park. Impressive but informal design, friendly hosts, a superb 15m pool and surrounding tranquillity make for a delightful place to simply relax . For cyclists there are off and on-road adventures and walking in the Mariola is first class.
