This place is just pure magic.
I'm so grateful for my 5 weeks at the finca.
After a wild 3 months in my life of moving all over the world - I came here to integrate, be in community, while at the same time, have my own space.
Could NOT have chosen abetter place.
The sense of peace
The sense of community
The sense of freedom…
And just the magic and synchronicities that happened for me while I was there.
I detoxed while I was here, surrendered to resting, connected with people, the ocean, the villages, made space for my future creations to reveal themselves….
The wifi worked well for my client work, and the shared office space + private desk desk in my room made my work very comfortable.
Steffi owns the place and she is just an all-round amazing woman and authentic Soul who puts so much love and care in every detail.
Milo - the finca’s dog - will lift anyone’s spirit any day.
All in all, I’ve been part of plenty of communities - that are a community because of all the 'community management' and scheduled activities.
However, none of them felt Home,
Unpretentious, warm, at peace -
Like the finca did.
It’s a vibe :)
And Steffi has done an incredible job at cultivating and being that.
Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you so much Steffi for creating this amazing coliving, I will never forget my "1-becoming-2 months" here, and you always being there for us🤗. I'm very grateful to have discovered this place, and in particular for what I will now call the "7 Wonders of La Finca" : 🤩 1) the hammocs - for the daily siestas in the shadow and for enabling me to break my reading record 🤓; 2) the yoga deck where it was a pleasure to exercise - such a motivation!🏋🏻♀️; 3) your tips for hiking which enabled me to discover in particular the amazing Breña y Marismas Natural Park ⛰️; 4) the fun to play paddel in nearby hotel, and of course kiting and wingfoiling in Punta Paloma/Valdevaqueros/Los Lances🏄♀️; 5) the permaculture garden - good learnings for a city girl; 6) the freedom inside the community, while still having the pleasure to connect with other Fincañer@s during the "welcome/goodbye dinners" 🥂; 7) last but not least, this magic garden with its palm trees and birds singing 🌴- the hard work you put there has definitely paid off ❤️. Hopefully see you (and Milo 🐶) soon and again muchisimas gracias 🙏🙏🙏
What a beautiful place of calm, relaxing and warm energy. The finca itself is a culmination of years of passion and dedication by Steffi, which you can see in every little detail. But besides the physical place and immersion in nature (very rural but also close to the beach!) the most important thing about a coliving is community. I won't forget the connections and memories that I've made here, the people are what made this work trip complete for me! Thank you Steffi for everything🧡🌈
It was love at first sight for me with Finca La Palmera. 2 hectares of beautiful nature, paired up with Milo's jump of joy (the smartest dog in Spain) and Stef's big, open hearted smile is just the welcome home.
The room and bathroom were big, immaculately clean, and the furniture super cute and we'll chosen to make you feel home.The big comfortable bed made of this insomniac a good sleeper.
The common areas were full of beautiful corners where you could relax or work comfortably and the kitchen had everything you needed to make anything from the simplest to the most extravagant meals if you wanted.
The spontaneous dinámic of chats and dinners and outings with the other residents made for a great mix of my own time as well as being social. And the landscape nearby is breathtaking.. 1 month wasn't enough!
Thank you Stef and Milo 🥰 absolute champs!
Finca La Palmera is a great place. It's beautifully kept, in a calm charming little village. Stefanie really cares about the place and for people to have a good experience while there. Milo also does a very good job of welcoming people and seeing that everyone takes regular breaks. 😊
The rooms and other facilities were in good condition. Wifi is good enough. Worked well for me to remote work and have online meetings. At some point the signal was a bit bad in my room but in the main building where I worked most of the time the signal strength was always good.
The location is kind of in the middle of everything. At the same time not being super close to anything. I did not come with a car, but having a bike was enough for me to feel comfortable most of the time. There's actually pretty good buses both from Tahivilla and Zahara, only problem is getting to the bus stop, but that is doable with a bike or hitchhiking.
Socially, the place wasn't ever fully booked when I was there. But I had some good interactions and formed friendships with a few people still. Most of the time if I wanted to be social I could, and if I wanted to be by myself I could.
I also really appreciated the extended community. And the fresh produce! And the light, the stars in the night, the roosters, and the ground.
For a first introduction to Andalucia and Costa de la Luz this is an amazing place to stay!
This is the most wonderful eco co-living finca that says true to its values! I didn’t take enough photos but it’s beautiful, with a permaculture garden, a yoga platform, and hammocks to swing in. It’s got brilliant WiFi, essential for being a digital nomad. It’s also set in a very well-located village that feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere but is actually within good distance of fab beaches and other hotspots and has with three great restaurants within three mins walk (albeit we stayed in December and it was pot lot if they were open!). Stefanie is a FANTASTIC host and really makes you feel welcome and generously shares the secrets of this little corner of heaven with you. She brings everyone together and makes it easy to adventure! Maral, who helps to look after the finca and us lodging there, has a brilliant sense of humour and is an even better cook - you must try her cooking! Miro is the most delightful dog who always wants to play, we miss him so much. In fact, I’m writing this review from cold and rainy UK and I’m wondering why we’re not back there already…
I had such an amazing time at Finca La Palmera and felt super blissed out during my stay there. Even though I went on my own without a car and just had a handful of housemates in a tiny village, I still felt like I had more to do there and a better sense of community than I usually do living in a big city. The house attracts a lovely crowd of thoughtful folks looking to slow down and reconnect for a bit. In our free time, we enjoyed ukulele and board game nights, little excursions around the area, and long walks around the neighbourhood pastures with the goodest boi Milo. Since it’s near the southernmost tip of Europe, the weather was mild into December and often even sunny, plus we were able to stay cozy by the fireplace in the evenings. It was also a great setup for me as a remote worker with plenty of coworking tables, and enough nooks for everyone to have privacy while taking calls. Finally, it’s a beautiful, serene place and surrounded by stunning nature. I’m already hoping to return next year and can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to relax and reset!
