Finca with sea views in Benissa

Where history remains Living

Some houses are built. Others grow with time. This exceptional finca in Benissa, undeniably belongs to the latter category.

Originally built around 1700 as an inn for travellers between Valencia and Alicante, this estate served for centuries as a welcome stop for coachmen, their horses, and passing guests. A place where stories were born, where roads intersected, and where time briefly slowed. Legend has it that even Queen Sofía once stayed here – a detail that only enhances the rich history of this special place.

Today, this historic estate has been renovated with exceptional respect for its origins. The restoration, completed in 2024, was not an attempt to replace the past, but to bring it back to life. Historical elements have been carefully preserved and restored, while all technical installations have been completely renewed according to contemporary standards of comfort, sustainability, and safety.

During the renovation, a conscious choice was made for exceptional materials. Imported Belgian oak and padauk were worked by craftspeople who share the same attention to detail as the original builders centuries ago. Each room exudes authenticity; each space tells its own story.

The estate offers a rare combination of character and functionality. The main residence is complemented by two fully self-contained guest cottages, allowing family, friends or guests to stay in complete privacy. In total, the property boasts seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, and three separate WCs.

Outside, a Mediterranean scene unfolds where living and life seamlessly merge. The outdoor kitchen invites long dinners under the stars, while the heated swimming pool beckons for year-round relaxation. Amongst the fruit trees, you'll find a boules court, a delightful spot to unwind and enjoy the outdoors. From various terraces, the view stretches all the way to the Mediterranean Sea – a panorama that serves as a daily reminder of this finca's unique location.

This is not a home that will suit every taste. It calls for residents who recognise beauty in authenticity, who value craftsmanship over perfection, and who understand that real luxury is not found in new builds, but in places with a soul.

A property like this isn't solely for living in. You become part of a history that began more than three centuries ago and which continues today in an exceptionally refined manner.
