Finca Santa Barbara

This property has no reviews on trip advisor, but many on booking.com. Many of those are varied. So here goes .. This complex belongs/ or is managed by the Areca hotel in Torrellano. You can book direct by googling Finca Santa Barbara for best prices. There are a number of apartments from 1-3 beds. Mine was a well appointed 2 bedroom but lacking in some essential home from home basics (ok if you are living in Spain & can bring your own bits n pieces). So, no corkscrew, colander, oven gloves or air con, buy a cheap fan in high season. But quality bedding, towels and spacious storage. Good bathroom. Plenty of hot water and parking. It is set in a lovely Spanish garden environment, typical vegetation and flowering shrubs. Pool is superb and you can watch flights arriving on a regular basis! Didn't bother me I lived on LHR flight path in the past. It is in the middle of nowhere, no bar or restaurant in walking distance so don't expect not to drive, however if you want something a bit different, give it a try and stock up the fridge, sit back and relax in between the planes arriving! Haven't experienced planes take off yet.. Five or so mins from Alicante airport. Wifi is very good - an essential for me! Nice patio area outside the apartment mine was shaded as are most. I bought loo roll, wash up liquid and such, but these were supplied, tip, visit first and see what you need to buy.
