Finca Arboleda is situated 5 minutes drive from Vera near Mojacar in Costa Almeria Spain and is set in 5000 sq metres, about 1.25 acres.
Swimming pool, the beautiful private 10 x 5 metre Pebbletec pool is only shared between people staying at Finca Arboleda.
The garden is set on three levels. Our house, the Orange Grove and the pool are on the top level, the middle level is planted with olives and the Old Stables are on the lower level with more trees.
Overall the garden is planted with over 100 mature trees including 55 olives from which we press our own extra virgin oil that you welcome to try and we offer for sale. There are 25 citrus trees with Oranges, Mandarins, Satsumas and Lemons. We also have Figs, Pomegranates, Mulberries and Vines. Please help yourselves to any fruit that is in season.
Olive Oil, we pick our olives in November and take the olives to a press at Lubrin or Los Gallardos. In 2024 we only picked 400 Kilos of olives, it was a poor crop, we normally pick over 1000kgs, from them we got 75 Litres of Extra Virgin Olive Oil that we invite Guests to sample and hopefully buy. We are organic and never spray our trees. Why not come and stay and help pick the olives? .. It's good fun!
Stig, was our friendly Lurcher, a stray who came to stay. He was a cross between a Greyhound and a Belgian Shepherd, had the most wonderful temperament and was loved by most people, read the guest book! He passed away in November 2018.
Mincy is our rescue dog, we found her, a Galga, Spanish Greyhound living in a field outside our gates in December 2019.
Chickens, we have friendly Hens, who produce lovely free range eggs, a great breakfast when cooked in our olive oil.

We, Mick and Pirkko, have lived here since January 2004 and have been offering holiday accommodations since later that same year. Pirkko is Swedish and Mick is English; we met in Stockholm in 1996 while Mick was working there. We moved to the UK in 2002 and, after a few months, decided to make a complete lifestyle change, with the added bonus of some sunshine. Spain was our choice, and we explored areas from the Costa Blanca to the Portuguese border, but we kept coming back to the Costa Almeria area and Vera in particular, which was more rustic and less developed than the other Costas.
After 18 months of searching for a home we could use as a holiday let, we found Finca Arboleda just when we were starting to think it wasn't going to happen. It was a beautiful sunny November day with a cloudless sky, the Mediterranean deep blue in the distance, and trees loaded with oranges, pomegranates, and olives. After 9 months of hard work, we were ready to welcome guests and have been making improvements ever since.
We are sure you will enjoy staying here as much as we love living here.
