Highlights from the
Guestbook
Samantha and Clifford are very nice hosts and the place feels very private and noble. lots to discover, amongst our favourites are the fig trees in front and the avocado and mango trees surrounding the location. Beautiful location, affordable and just about right if you need a pause in the middle of nowhere, topped with a view! Thank you guys!

Quite simply, this place is perfect. There is exactly everything you need, no more and no less, beautifully and thoughtfully done. The location is tranquil and amazing, and it’s lovely to have Samantha and Clifford living on site: it makes everything gorgeously but unobtrusively looked after. The peace, the view, the comfort: a wonderful rest.

We had a marvellous time at Finca la Vida, spectacular views onto the Mediterranean Sea and mountains of La Axarquia, and a swimming pool where we spent most of our time. We loved all of the details they put into this beautiful Finca!
