“A home from home - but with beautiful sunshine”
Review Submitted: July 13, 2011

This apartment is simply fantastic. It's bright, it's big, it's fully air conditioned (and at the height of the 2008 heatwave we really needed it!), it's perfectly positioned....I could go on. The apartment is on a pleasant complex beside a quiet road running parallel to the coastline. I say quiet, and believe me it IS quiet. There is a Mercadona across the road (which I would rate as equivalent to Sainsbury's among the Spanish supermarkets) and the port, which is the nicest part of Javea, is just 15 pleasant minute's walk away. The pool area is grassed. It's well kept and occupies a position right at the heart of the complex, which seems to comprise of two and three-bed apartments which are either owner-occupied or holiday rentals. We had several lovely meals on the balcony, which has a great view of Mount Montgo. The (separate) kitchen is fully equipped and seemed quite new at the time. Car parking is either in the street or in the underground garage. I would recommend a car, if only so you can visit the beaches at Denia and Moraira nearby. The three bedrooms are all doubles, one with twins beds, all with a/c. One is en-suite and there is another large bathroom with a shower as well. The furniture at 2D6 is more functional than stylish. The TV seemed a bit on its last legs in 2008 - maybe it's been changed now. There are rather a lot of silk flowers!!! But hey, let's not quibble. This is a superb apartment - one we really didn't want to leave when the time came. We have looked every year and the price of ?650 that we paid doesn't seem to have changed. The managers, Bob and Gaye Martin, are delightful, friendly and helpful and try very hard to make sure everything is working and clean. Javea itself is very pretty - a town of old, cobbled streets and whitewashed property, with a very pleasant and chic port area, full of smart bars and restaurants. You hear relatively few English voices. The waterfront at the port is all shingle, but about a mile away is the Arenal - the beach area. This is a little more downmarket and busier but still quite Spanish and not at all like Benidorm. There are several very nice restaurants on the port-front, and just outside Javea is Masena, a very classy place which will set you back a fair bit but - believe me - it's worth every cent. Excellent, food, wine and service. So, I would say to ANYONE thinking of holidaying in Javea....YES, go there and book this place as your holiday apartment.
