Home description

Attractive restored rural villa set in 2.5 acres of olive groves and gardens of the owner's country house. Stunning large raised pool for sole use by guests. The 8 x 5 pool has spacious raised sun terraces with stunning views over the national park and distant mountains. The pool area is walled and gated for privacy but without obscuring the views.

Go for early evening walks as the sun goes down and meet our spanish neighbours who do this every evening in the summer.
Watch an authentic paella being made for you then enjoy it as you watch the eagles soaring overhead! - although we cannot guarantee this on every occasion!!!
For the more energetic play badminton on the games court or go exploring on the bicycles.

Good road links to the surrounding area/beaches, including numerous local villages and historic Xativa with hilltop castle and great selection of shops and restaurants to suit every taste.
