Finca La Maroma offers six self-catering apartments in a rebuilt old Andalucian farmhouse, with a solar heated pool, a Jacuzzi, a sauna, a separate meditation cottage and a small on-site shop. The finca is located at an altitude of 425 metres on top of a ridge with panoramic views, 5 km from the pretty village of Sedella. It is set deep in the heart of the countryside at the edge of the Sierra Tejeda-Almijara natural park North of Velez-Malaga, yet only one hour from Malaga airport. It is reached by a private track with virtually no traffic and is surrounded by an extensive network of tracks on which the area can be explored on foot or bicycle. The finca offers six self-catering studio-apartments for two people each. A cot is available and can be booked in connection with either double or twin apartment. One of the apartments has an additional sofa bed suitable for a child. All the apartments are comfortably furnished and heated during the cooler times and have well equipped bathrooms with showers. The kitchens feature four burner gas hobs, full size fridges and double sinks and contain all the utensil you are likely to need. A welcome pack of groceries is included. All linen including towels is provided and replaced once a week and there are different duvets for summer and winter. There are radios and CD players in the apartments, but no televisions which we feel, and our guests agree, would not be appropriate here. After all the finca is a place to get away from it all, to relax and unwind deep in the heart of the countryside. All the apartments either have a small patio or a balcony with a table, chairs and a parasol. In addition there is a communal terrace by the side of the pool with more tables and chairs as well as plenty of sun loungers. The pool measures 5 x 10 m with a depth of between 1.40 m and 1.70 m and is illuminated at night in summer. It also features a solar heating system, so that it can be used for most of the year but it is always open and cleaned so that it can be used in January as well. Next to the pool there is a Jacuzzi, the water of which is always kept above 35C and it is a special experience to lounge in the jacuzzi in January when the almond trees are blossoming. In winter a sauna is available for use at no extra charge A short walk along the path that winds down the hillside from the main house you will find our meditation casita. We have a couple of mountain bikes you can hire and we can pick you up at the airport if required. Also we act as occasional taxi service for those guests who would like to stay at the finca but do not want to hire a car. If you would like to explore the larger area we would recommend that you either hire a car or bring your own though. The apartments are available all year round. Minimum stay is two days, although this is not always available. Please enquire.
