Tucked away in the heart of inland Alicante’s wine country, La Bodega Antigua is more than just a home, it’s a living piece of Spanish history. Originally built in 1625, this former working winery has been restored, preserving its authentic stone architecture while offering modern comforts.
Technically located in Yecla (Murcia), just over the provincial border, this estate benefits from Murcia’s simpler process for obtaining a tourist license. This makes it an ideal opportunity for a boutique B&B, retreat, or rural rental business. The nearest town, Pinoso, is just 7 km away, offering restaurants, shops, and a friendly international community.
Only 20 minutes from the AVE high-speed rail link
