Overview
For those looking for somewhere truly unique and unforgettable to spend their next holiday, celebrate a special occasion, or simply where they can immerse themselves in the all-encompassing scenery of this beautiful part of Spain, Finca La Gloria offers an intimate, six-bedroom boutique-style hotel set amid stunning sprawling grounds.
Bursting with a distinctive bohemian style that melds tradition with forward-thinking, future-focused sustainability, all topped off with a hearty helping of sumptuous design features and comfort-enhancing amenities, this unique finca offers you a reimagined take on the authentic Spanish style.
The soul of the property centres around a unique ethos that combines a deep respect for the unspoiled natural beauty of the surrounding landscape with an emphasis on sustainability, self-sufficiency, personal wellness, and naturally inspired creativity in order to foster and promote an unwavering philosophical inclination toward doing and subsequently receiving good. Not only will you find yourself surrounded by a serene, distinctly Spanish landscape throughout which nature is allowed to flourish, but you will also be able to travel and discover new places in such a way that is more sustainable and beneficial to both you and the setting; creating a symbiotic relationship wherein we can draw from our surroundings whilst also having a positive impact on their future longevity.
Within the gorgeously rustic home itself, you will find that every room has been carefully and individually curated, bestowing it with its own unique and distinctive character, and each has been finished to an exceptionally high standard while still preserving much of the original charm that makes this place feel like a home. As in 'permaculture', individual elements combine to create a cohesive, complete whole – and one really feels this as we move through the various areas of the villa.
Then, of course, there are the eclectic living spaces which provide characterful areas where the whole group can come together and enjoy one another's company within an elegant yet unmistakable rustic setting. The abundance of windows allows the warm Spanish sunlight to cascade into the interior, while numerous seating areas create a sense of laidback comfort and a certain relaxed atmosphere that's inherently conducive to socialising (or simply grabbing yourself a glass of something cool from one of the 'honesty fridges' and settling in with your new favourite novel). From here, there are five gorgeous and homely bedrooms for guests to choose from, along with the separate casita, which is perfect for a couple (or family) that wants a bit of privacy from the rest of the group.
This place is all about letting the outside in – or the inside out, depending on which way you look at it – and the outdoor areas around the home really do possess their own beguiling magic. From lounging around the large pool, which seems to have simply sprung up out of the very ground itself, to strolling through the lush gardens dotted with mature trees or admiring the panoramic vista from higher points vantage points, you would be hard-pressed not to feel impressed by the understated majesty of these surroundings.
With so many magical offerings both inside and out, it's no surprise that Finca La Gloria has proven consistently popular with people looking to host a whole plethora of different events, from wellness seminars and yoga workshops to unforgettable special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and even intimate weddings. No matter the vision you have for your event, this spellbinding backdrop is sure to provide a second-to-none setting.

Location
About the surrounding area of Finca La GloriaAs you would probably expect, the location of this gorgeous home is indeed a rural one, making it an ideal choice for those looking to really escape it all and throw themselves headlong into the serene splendour of the Spanish countryside. However, situated just outside Los Angeles (no, not that LA) and close to the historic town of Jimena de la Frontera in the Cadiz region, the villa is not too far away from the handy amenities, invitingly authentic eateries, and lively local watering holes that give you a glimpse into the traditional way of life here.
You'll also find a number of sites of historical and cultural interest within the surrounding area, including the church of Ermita de la Virgen del Rosario del Campo, the hilltop fortress of Castillo de Jimena de la Frontera, and the historical landmark of Nacimiento del Rio Guadarranque. Explore sleepy hillside villages, sampling the freshest regional produce en route, or set off in search of the best viewpoints in the area courtesy of some elevated miradors offering spectacular vistas. Your days here can be as action-packed or chilled-out as you like.
You will also find yourself nestled between two carefully protected nature reserves, namely the Parque Natural Los Alcornocales and the Paraje Natural Los Reales de Sierra Bermeja that sits between the home and the golden stretches of sand along the coastline. As such, the area is teeming with popular recreational areas and beautiful hiking and biking trails, which really allow you to make the most of your stunning surroundings while also keeping active and working on any of those expected holiday excesses. Your hosts at Finca La Gloria are more than happy to organise any guided treks or horseback riding tours, so get in touch today to start organising!
If you're all hiked out and find yourself in search of some sun, sea, sand, and perhaps some sangria; then the beaches, bars, and full-blown summertime bonanza of the Costa del Sol are reachable by car in around 40 minutes. There are also golf courses and even a polo club within reach of the home, while the route down to the coast and stretching parallel to the sea provides plenty of opportunity for some well-deserved self-indulgence in the form of retail therapy (just be sure to leave enough room in your suitcase).
With both unrivalled tranquillity and the possibility for sun-soaked fun at the coast on offer here, this place offers the best of both sides to ever-seductive Spain.

Kids
Best Suited For: TeensWe think this home is simply wonderful for children, both big and small, thanks to its sprawling gardens that are away from any busy main roads and which offer loads of imagination-stoking places to play. The swimming pool is also bound to be a hit with the kids and is shallow enough (at least at one end) to allow even the littlest members of the group to get in on the fun. The large light-filled living area is simply made for families to spend time together, with its large sofas, pool table, and homely feel.
The property's definitive emphasis on fresh produce and eco-friendly living is also great for the younger members of your party because, not only does it mean they will be eating only the finest organic fruit and veg during their stay, but it will also show them how to eat, live, and co-operate in a more sustainable way. Your hosts at Finca La Gloria are more than happy to show you around the property and talk you through the various trees and produce on offer - and you can even buy some of it to take home with you!
Scenic and rural yet still close enough to sleepy hillside villages that house family-friendly restaurants and cafes, as well as bustling coastal resorts, the location of this home is ideal for families hoping to discover the best of both sides of Spain. The numerous marked trails that criss-cross the area take walkers through some of its most awe-inspiring scenery and offer you the chance to show the kids loads of natural beauty while at the same time tiring them out before bed so you can enjoy an uninterrupted glass of wine on the terrace once the sun goes down.
