Enjoy a spectacular stay at this quintessentially Spanish villa, based in Javea, close to shops, bars and restaurants and just a short drive from Arenal beach. This enchanting home is packed with old charm, with exposed beams and wide arches that make it feel like a fairy-tale house – but it still has all the mod cons that make your stay feel effortless. Surrounded by mature gardens and leafy shrubs, and sporting a stunning private pool that sparkles in the sun, this home provides the perfect retreat when you’re not out exploring all that Javea has to offer. Start your day with a fresh coffee out on your patio while you watch the sunrise, and relax in one of the many seating areas with a good book. Cook up a traditional Spanish breakfast of huevos rotos and dine all together around your stylish dining table. As the temperature rises, cool off with a refreshing dip in your outdoor pool, before having a sunbathe on one of the poolside loungers. Head to Arenal beach to sea-swim and sunbathe, or visit one of the excellent golf courses in the area. Head back home and enjoy sundowners on your shaded terrace while gazing up at the palm trees that tower overhead.
