Concealed between the rolling hills you will find a splendid finca in the heart of Álora. The sweet fragrance of the fruit and olive trees greets you as you drive up to it. And while you relish all this beauty, we amaze you with our hospitality, attention and luxury. In and around Finca Viva La Vida you will find peace, space, and breathtaking scenery, and you will sample genuine Spanish life.
Here at Finca Viva La Vida you will feel at home. From the time when you arrive until the moment we take our leave of each other, you will be transported to a different, idyllic world, one in which time does not play a role. Immerse yourself in Spanish culture and take pleasure in village life. Visit the pueblo blanco of Álora and partake of some tapas in a small, cosy restaurant.
All you need do here is enjoy the sun, a walk through the surroundings and a glass of fine wine at the edge of the swimming pool. The finca garden boasts an array of comfortable seating where you can have a delightful breakfast or marvel at the setting sun.
Finca Viva La Vida is situated in the middle of the autonomous region of Andalusia and is only a 40-minute drive to Málaga. If you prefer to visit nature, take a drive of a little over 10 minutes to the lakes of El Chorro to walk the Caminito del Rey or explore the surroundings by bike. In the area you will find delicious tapas or small fish restaurants, while the local supermarket is the place to buy your daily groceries.
You are welcome to join us not only for a splendid holiday but also to throw a party, to celebrate a wedding or to experience a comprehensively catered retreat.
About us
We have been dreaming of a life in Spain for more than a decade. What began with endless fantasies during our trips to the sunny south has culminated in an authentic B&B in the splendour of Andalusia. We run Finca Viva La Vida together with our two daughters. It is a place where time stands still and life calmly unfolds under the Spanish sun.
We share your delight while you savour a glass of fine wine as the water laps against the edge of the pool and the olive trees sway in the breeze. It is wonderful to share another person’s good fortune every single day. This is why we celebrate life at Finca Viva La Vida. Sometimes we do so on a grand scale, other times more intimately but always with you in mind. Whether you prefer to spend a day relaxing by the pool or venturing out into the wilderness, we will pamper you with attention, conviviality and a wealth of luxury.
