 The spacious kitchen is equipped with modern branded appliances (Bosch, Siemens) and invites you to socialize while cooking and eating. The adjoining, covered terraces (including a barbecue) are attractive outdoor options for enjoying food with a panoramic view.
The east terrace offers views down the valley to Abarán and Blanca. The rocking egg sweetens the morning coffee enjoyment and gets you in the mood for the day.
 The west terrace offers a 180° view of the mountains and the pool, and relaxation is particularly intense from the Hollywood swing.
The open, ceiling-high living room with wall-mounted air conditioning, comfortable sofas and a view of the gallery, as well as a large, enclosed fireplace, guarantees a feel-good atmosphere and relaxation.

The high-quality sound bar with subwoofer makes enjoying TV, radio or playing your favorite music via Bluetooth an acoustic experience.

The gallery on the 1st floor is a work-, social- and rest-zone all in one. The large wooden table with six chairs offers ample opportunities for meetings and workspaces. The opposite chillout corner on pallet sofas is a place for social talks, presentations or just a retreat for reading and relaxing. 
 The gallery has an exit to the open balcony terrace. There are seats for coffee and/or smoking breaks. After dark, you can marvel at the overwhelming starry sky and the Milky Way from here.

Spain + Private Pool + Family + Friends + Dogs + Nature

Hemos disfrutado dos matrimonios jóvenes con un adolescente durante 1 semana en Agosto. El tiempo ha sido magnífico y hemos disfrutado cada día de la piscina. A la casa no le falta detalle alguno, todo absolutamente limpio y decorado con muchisimo gusto. Toda la finca está vallada y es para el disfrute de los huéspedes, por lo que la estancia se hace muy amena y tranquila. La casa tiene diferentes ambientes, para el disfrute de cualquier afición; desde la zona de lectura en el segundo piso, pasando por la zona de la chimenea con televisión y equipo de música, hasta la cancha de baloncesto y por supuesto la zona de piscina que es increíble. Tenemos que decir que raramente hemos visto el atardecer como en esta casa, concretamente en la zona de la piscina.
Muchísimas gracias a Petra y Martín por los detalles que recibimos nada más llegar y por todas las indicaciones.
Un fuerte abrazo! Julia, Pedro, Vane, Óscar e Izan.

Magnífica casa

A beautiful, well-equipped home in a breathtaking and peaceful setting. 
The hosts were incredibly kind – Martin was always quick to help. 
We loved the pool and the magical sunsets. 
So much peace and comfort. 
A perfect stay – we’d love to return!

Wow - just wow!

Una casa espectacular con vistas preciosas sobre el valle de Ricote a pocos kilómetros del pueblo Blanca y su bonito río Segura. Acceso muy cómodo, fácil de encontrar incluso si llegas de noche. Todas las indicaciones del dueño eran muy practicas. La casa está completamente equipada hasta el mínimo detalle. Nos encantó la chimenea, los espacios grandes, la calefacción en invierno, los entornos para caminar, la cercanía de los balnearios de Archena. Una pena que en invierno no pudimos disfrutar de la piscina. Sin duda repetiremos.Nos gustó absolutamente todo y os recomendamos Domicilio de vida en Ricote.

Una Casa Encantadora

This was our second time staying at Petra and Martin's vacation home, and once again, we spent three wonderful weeks at this beautiful place. The house now almost feels like our second home. Martin is always easily reachable via WhatsApp, email, or phone, making communication smooth and pleasant.

Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed again with a bowl of fresh fruit, a bottle of red wine on the table, and a delicious Cava in the fridge. Martin's personal welcome note was the cherry on top, immediately giving us a warm feeling of coming home.

During our stay, we once again received valuable tips and advice from Martin about what to do in the area and where to get the best groceries. The supermarket in Blanca had everything we needed for fresh daily bread, and for larger shopping trips, we went to Archena or Murcia.

The house itself is spacious, tidy, and perfectly equipped. With four comfortable bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a wonderfully firm bed and air conditioning, the stay felt luxurious and relaxing. The second bedroom and the living room also have air conditioning, which is a real plus on hot days. The two bathrooms, a spacious seating area, and a large kitchen with a generous fridge and freezer made our stay more than comfortable. Don’t forget to bring your favorite Nespresso Starbucks coffee for a perfect start to each day!

Upstairs, we enjoyed the large dining table, the desk, the bookshelf, and the cozy seating area. The small balcony/terrace turned out to be ideal for quietly enjoying the moon in the evening.

Once a week, someone comes to clean the pool. Usually, around the same time, someone arrives with a truck to deliver fresh water.

The outdoor spaces are one of the highlights of the house. With spacious terraces at both the front and back of the house, we had a new spot to eat and relax every day. The back terrace offers a beautiful view of the pool, the large garden, and the surrounding mountains, making it the perfect backdrop for our daily meals.

The pool is large and offers all the privacy you could wish for. We spent most of our time here, alternating with some relaxation on the basketball court.

Although there is plenty to do in the area, from hiking to mountain climbing and canoeing, this time we mainly enjoyed the peace and comfort of the house, the garden, and the pool.

The house is well-secured with an alarm system and easy to lock up, which gave us a safe feeling during our stay. We can’t wait to return to this wonderful place again!

Second visit #Domicilo de Vida

The timing was perfect for my family and me at Domicilia de Vida, nestled within the splendid Valle de Ricote. The house itself is absolutely ideal, offering breathtaking mountain views, a stunning garden, a starlit night sky, and an invigorating connection to pure nature. Our time there was truly one-of-a-kind and left us feeling refreshed and energized. The kids had a blast in the fantastic swimming pool and exploring the various indoor and outdoor spaces. Despite the scorching August temperatures, the upcoming installation of an eco-friendly air conditioning system by Martin ensures that the heat won't be a problem in the future. We're definitely looking forward to returning. Many thanks to Martin for always being available and for sharing invaluable insights and tips. Superhost!
