North of Alicante, in the interior of the Marina Alta region, you probably haven’t heard of the small town of Orba. However, we are very close to the Vall de Laguar, and one of the most famous hiking trails in the area: the Barranc de l’Infern route, known as “the cathedral of hiking”.

Mardenit is a rural accommodation that perfectly combines tradition and modernity, as evidenced by its terrace with private jacuzzi and views of the old town of Orba. The entire establishment has the category of adults only, and has 5 themed rooms equipped with all the comforts. Pets are welcome.
