Reviews.... Don't just take our word for it... this is what our guests say...
I cannot recommend Mariola Secreta highly enough – it’s truly a lovely place to visit. Set in the natural park the nature and scenery is stunning and is a fitting backdrop to the beautiful home Andrea & Ben have made. The house has been lovingly restored and Andrea’s magical touch is everywhere from the beautiful reclaimed furnishings to the sun hats and dressing gowns in the bedrooms. The food is wonderful too. Its all local seasonal produce and all homecooked by Andrea. Ben is a great considerate host too, especially taking guests on bike tours of the local area. All is all if you want to get away and really focus on restoring your body and soul Mariola Secreta is a must.

I went to a Yoga Retreat here and had the most wonderful time. Andrea and Ben really looked after us and every little detail had been thought of. The food and accommodation was fantastic. I left feeling completely restored and will definitely be back!

This place is truly magical. Five stars through and through. The location is stunning, the property is stunning. All the details inside – the beautiful furnishings, the music, the smell of Andrea’s cooking (sourced from her garden). Ben pouring us cava on our last night. Unparalleled hospitality. I’ve travelled the world and this is my favourite place I’ve ever stayed. World class in every way.

I just returned from a week at Mariola Secreta and still searching for the words to describe my time there. From the moment I arrived, my expectations were exceeded tenfold. Andrea and Ben have thought of every single detail. From the ensuite restrooms outfitted with luxurious Bramley toiletries, to beautiful throw blankets in every seating area, to Ben’s frothy milk! But the best part was Andrea’s divine cooking. To experience a meal by Andrea is to feel like you’ve been eating in black and white your entire life and now eating in colour. Mariola Secreta is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered!

Where to start? Scents of pine trees, lavender and rosemary. Andrea’s lovely food. My son said, “there’s no universe in which I haven’t gained weight here, the food is so good’. I’m trying to find the words that describe how adventures can be so relaxing. One minute you’re off on a hilly and rocky e-mountain bike ride led by Ben, who knows the area and will match the route to your riding skills, the next you’re lounging by the beautiful swimming pool, and then you’re off to jump in river rock pools, or to the beach or a nearby town for dinner. I loved my stay here. Andrea and Ben have done a fantastic job in creating this slice of paradise in Spain and they are fantastic hosts. I will definitely be going back.
