A house full of Spanish character :
The air-conditioned master bedroom is comfortable and elegant. Tall wooden beams and rustic floor tiles divide the sleeping area from a relaxation area. The room is lit by art deco wall lights and furnished with an antique chest of drawers and a post-modern lounger. French windows open on to the balcony with views over the palm shaded gardens. There are two easy chairs on the balcony providing the perfect place to relax. The 2nd upstairs bedroom has A/c and a pretty 'Juliet' style balcony overlooking the gardens. On the ground floor the main living room leads on to the main L-shaped Naya through a carved Tosca stone arch. This is a room in which to relax whilst sitting back in Lloyd loom original wicker chairs and wide comfortable sofas to enjoy a coffee or glass of wine. The windows look out over gardens which are floodlit at night.
The master bedroom:
The naya leads on to the main upper terrace and outdoor dining area; this is decorated in Moorish style with lamps & rustic pottery and shaded by an awning. Here you can watch the sun set behind the mountains with a glass of wine, dine alfresco or look out over the pool and tennis courts.
The Area :
The World Health Organisation once famously described the Costa Blanca as having a near perfect climate with 320 days of sunshine every year. Despite so much sun, Jávea is sheltered from the extremes of heat and drought by its own unique micro-climate which helps to keep the area lush green all year round. Take time to explore the beautiful Jalón Valley or if you are feeling particularly energetic climb the footpath to the summit of the Montgó. This is a corner of Spain known for its hospitality with many Fiestas and vibrant markets. For those less inclined, unspoiled beaches and rocky coves can be quickly reached by car within 5 - 10 mins.
Golf:
We are ideally placed for golf - the nearest, Jávea GC is less than 10 minutes away. A 9-hole course, more difficult than it looks, has superb views of Montgó dominating Jávea (Green fees approx. Euros 65). Towards Denia (c.15 minutes) is La Sella GC, a beautiful 18-hole course. Further afield (c.35 minutes) there is an excellent course at Oliva (18-holes, designed by Ballesteros) and, south of Valencia, the famous 18-hole championship links course at El Saler. OTHER FEATURES: The theme park TERRA MITICA is within easy motoring distance (a short hop down AP7 motorway) as are the excellent Aqualandia (swim-park; website available on request) and MundoMar (dolphins) outside Benidorm. The fabulous new Science & Oceanographic (5000 different fish) parks at Valencia make a spectacular day's outing (website on request).
Other Activities:
Rock climbing & mountain walks (notably in the Jalón valley behind us)
