The Rural Bed and Breakfast of guesthouse Refugio Marnes

B&B Los Establos is an ideal holiday destination for guests who are in need of sun and tranquility and who love originality and comfort. Staying at our Bed and Breakfast is a great place to enjoy the countryside of Alicante province. No disturbing noises, just the sounds of nature. At our B&B it is still possible. Marnes is a "partida" of the village Lliber. Once farmers lived here, who earned a good living by growing carob beans, almonds and grapes The wines from this region were known throughout Europe in that era. At the end of the Franco era the countryside of Alicante was almost deserted. Refugio Marnes guesthouse has breathed new life into this Casa Rural. We invite you to come and enjoy the sun, the nature and perhaps foremost the overwhelming peace, in one of our guest rooms.

B&B Los Establos, guest rooms in the fully restored stables

The old stables of the farm, its wineries and the corral were transformed into the attractive stone building Los Establos! Bed and Breakfast Los Establos offers 3 rooms each with its own bathroom. All rooms have their own entrance and open onto a large terrace with lovely views of a private valley and the mountains behind Refugio Marnes. Guests can also stay in a comfortable living / dining room and kitchen they share with the other guests of this rural bed and breakfast.

Rooms with a view

When we had the promotional flyers for B&B Los Establos printed, Margriet Groen (who designed them) used the term "Rooms with a View". A simple qualification but one that does justice to what you will find here. Alicante is known for its clear blue skies. The mountains around this Bed and Breakfast are rocky and jagged, contrasting the blue sky. Like the stone walls of Los Establos. The "barranco" (valley) next to the building has various shades of green, the green of the pines, the gray-green of the olives and fresh and dark green of the carob and fig trees. Large contrasts in color and material, illuminated by a bright sun: that is Spain, that is Alicante, that is Refugio Marnes!

Los Establos, a guesthouse that values privacy, peace and ample room

The finca or old farm covers 50 acres. Three accomodations are "scattered" on the land, which house a total of 14 guests. So each guest has more than 3 acres of land at his or her disposal! The shaded terrace of the B&B Los Establos offers access to other terraces, where every guest of this bed and breakfast will enjoy their own private and quiet spot. In this sunny part of Spain you can read a book shaded by a "sombra" of bamboo stalks or fall asleep in a hammock under a carob tree. Or just enjoy the peace and nature around you, relaxing in a hammock chair. Although we are welcoming hosts, we don not allow "guests of guests" to our property so you can be sure to find the rest you need.

Bed and Breakfast Los Establos, honest and delicious food

A delicious breakfast we serve for our B&B guests in the dining room, on the terrace or, if you wish, we serve you in your B & B room. Furthermore, Richard is a gifted cook and a "mesa rural" (table d'hôte in French) is served three times a week. You can join us at our dinnertable and together we'll enjoy the delicious and honest food. With a good wine, usually regional. And of course a good conversation!
