Location
Hotel FINCA FANECAES sits in open countryside on the Carretera de Banyeres, a couple of minutes by car from the historic town of Biar and a pleasant walk through the fields for those who prefer to go slowly.
Biar is a hill town crowned by a twelfth-century castle, with steep whitewashed streets, a church tower visible from the finca and a weekly market. Beyond it, the Alicante interior opens out into the Sierra de Mariola and Sierra de la Font Roja natural parks, the wine country around Fontanars dels Alforins, and the towns of Villena, Alcoy and Elda, all within a short drive.
The countryside around the hotel is ideal for walking and cycling, with tracks running straight from the gate through olive and almond groves. Villena train station is about 10 km away, Villena high-speed station about 18 km, and Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernandez Airport about 56 km, with an airport shuttle available on request at an additional charge.
