The villa has ample accommodation consisting of two self contained apartments. It can therefore be rented as one large unit, sleeping 10 people or alternatively as 1 private apartment sleeping a maximum of 4 people (or 6 people in the lower apartment).

The upstairs apartment consists of 2 double/twin bedrooms (the main bedroom has a king size), large bathroom, livingroom with a wood burning fire and air conditioning, fully fitted kitchen, and a large Naya (sun porch). The Naya has wonderful views and is refreshingly cool and provides an ideal setting for dining al fresco.

The downstairs apartment has its own private access and consists of 2 double/twin bedrooms offering sleeping accommodation for 4, fitted kitchen, and spacious living/dining room. There is also a sofa-bed in the living room.

The large, beautiful private pool is situated to the rear of the property, and has roman steps for easy access, making it safer for children and non-swimmers. The pool area has outdoor lighting and plenty of space for sun bathing.

There is also an outdoor (hot/cold) shower by the pool and sun-beds and parasols are provided. We also keep a number of outdoor games such as bouls, bats, balls and inflatables.

Additional facilities can be enjoyed locally. Club Tenis in Calpe town offers tuition (in English) on clay courts and Club Nautico offers a wide variety of watersports. Golf courses can be found in nearby Javea or Moraira. Golf Ifach in Moraira enjoys wonderful views of the Mediterranean and has a round of 9 holes. Javea has a round of 18 holes

Just thirty minutes drive away is Benidorm, which boasts a bullring and several theme parks: Terra Mitica (themes on mystical civilisations from the Mediterranean region), Mundomar (exotic and marine animals) and Aqualandia water park. Being a cosmopolitan town, Benidorm offers the most varied entertainment. At night, the many nightspots provide something for every taste. We really enjoyed the Benidorm Palace show, available with an evening meal, for a really spectacular and good value night out. During the day or evening, the atmosphere of the Old Town is enchanting with winding streets of houses with the traditional Algerian-style grilles. A charming and peaceful site is that occupied by the 18th century Parish Church of San Jaime, which houses the beloved statue of Our Lady of Suffrage, patron saint of Benidorm.

In addition to the theme parks, one of our favourite places to visit is the Algar waterfall. This is a picturesque spot, one of the most surprising in the whole province, being so incredibly green and rich in water. The crystal-clear, pure waters crash against the rocks and you can bathe under the 25 metre high waterfall, or in one of the deep pools to be found in the area. Also, driving through the Sierra de Aitana mountains, you can visit the Castle at Guadalest, built in the mid-13th century by the Moors. From this fortress there are the most spectacular views extending from the Aitana and Bernia mountain ranges to Mount Serrella further down, and, on the edge of the horizon, the smooth surface of the Mediterranean (pictures above).
