Casa Tranquila (apartment)

Home description

5 GOOD REASONS TO STAY AT CASA TRANQUILA

• Outstanding situation with fantastic views.
• Spacious, attractive and comfortable apartment within a private villa
• Peaceful location close to all amenities of both Javea and Denia
• Private use of large low chemical swimming pool and shady terraces
• Benefits from the Montgo micro climate - cooler in summer and warmer in winter

Casa Tranquila, as the name suggests, is ideal for a peaceful and relaxing holiday, yet is only 10 minutes or so away from the hustle and bustle of the resort centres of Javea and Denia. The villa is situated on the top most building line of the Montgo adjoining the Montgo Natural Park and, facing south, benefits from maximum warmth and sunshine during the winter, while during the summer there is usually a welcome breeze and a lower humidity level than by the sea. The apartment is the lower floor of an attractive villa, is very private and completely self contained. Guests of the apartment will have private use of the large 10mx4m salt water pool (low chemicals) and the extensive terrace which offers plenty of shade. Unlike many rental properties which are disappointingly run down and ill equipped this is a loved and well cared for home.

Here is the perfect holiday home for one or two discerning couples who enjoy the peace and quiet of a semi rural location yet like to be within easy reach of the many wonderful restaurants and bars that Javea and Denia have to offer. There are some pleasant walks from the house, a small supermarket and butchers just over 1 km away and at least 7 bars and restaurants plus the Marriot hotel with La Sella Golf Resort (tennis too) within 3kms.

The lay out of the apartment is such that the bedrooms are far away from each other and each has an en suite shower or bathroom and therefore privacy is ensured. The apartment would also be suitable for a family with older children. Sorry, younger children are not accepted (please see conditions below)

The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region

5 GOOD REASONS TO HOLIDAY ON THE COSTA BLANCA

• Excellent weather.
• A choice of 3 airports.
• 3 large and historic cities to explore plus many towns
• There are still areas of unspoilt coastline and great beaches
• Attractive and varied countryside

The Marina Alta area of the Costa Blanca, halfway between Valencia in the north and Alicante in the south, is blessed by a gentle maritime climate that brings mild, sunny winters and long summers when the temperatures rarely become uncomfortably hot (unlike the interior and further south). It is also an area that usually receives sufficient rainfall to keep it pleasantly green and allows the cultivation of fruit and vegetables without the use of poly tunnels that are an eyesore in some regions. The coast here is very attractive with rocky, pine covered headlands, small pebbly coves and sandy bays.

Both Valencia and Alicante are historically interesting and worthy of a day trip, as are many of the towns and villages of this region. Murcia is further away but still within reach for a day trip. Benidorm, much maligned but with a charming old town that is popular with older Spanish holiday makers, Terra Mitica theme park, a water park and zoo park, a wonderful beach and several big name discos (not called clubs in Spain -that would mean something very different!) is only about 45 minutes' away by car.

Javea / Montgo Toscamar area

5 GOOD REASONS TO HOLIDAY IN JAVEA

• Attractive “low rise” town with an historic centre, port and leisure area
• Wonderful shops and restaurants to suit all budgets
• Beautiful coastline with Blue Flag beaches
• Backed by green countryside and rugged mountains
• Plenty of fiestas to savour the local culture

Javea (Xabia in Valenciano) is arguably the jewel in the crown of the Costa Blanca. It is protected from the cold northerly winds by the Montgo mountain (753m) and enjoys an enviably warm and sunny micro climate. It lies between two headlands, the Cap San Antonio to the north which protects the harbour and marks a marine reserve, and Cap de la Nao to the south. These headlands, as well as the Montgo, have some excellent marked walking routes.

Javea is divided into three distinctly different areas. Firstly the working port ( el Puerto) with its marina, harbour for the fishing fleet, low key sea front bars and restaurants, pebbly blue flag beach and a delightful mix of chic boutiques and "ordinary" shops. Then there is the holiday resort area of the Arenal with its protected bay of fine sand (again blue flag) backed by bars and restaurants, traditional seaside shops and boutiques and low key nightlife with several small discos. Between the port and the Arenal is a rocky and stony beach of about 1km with beach bars (in high season) Last but not least is the historic town of Javea, el Pueblo, with its narrow streets winding between impressive stone houses, a fortified church, an excellent museum, daily covered market and plenty more shops, bars and restaurants. Javea has been spared the high rise developments of so many towns and this helps to preserve its almost intimate, traditional atmosphere.

The nearby towns of Denia (10 minutes) and Gata de Gorgos (5 minutes) have plenty more shops and restaurants for you to enjoy. A brand new shopping and leisure complex opens in February 2008 and is less than 15 minutes away. Javea has a cinema that shows new release films in English during the week.

Spain is renowned for its tradition of fiestas and the Comunitat Valenciana has plenty. Your holiday will be all the more enjoyable and memorable if it coincides with one of the local fiestas.

6th January - The Three Kings
15th-19th March- Fallas in Valencia Comunitat. Valencia and Denia both hold Fallas. (Google it!) (not Javea)
18th March - Santa Semana with solemn parades (esp. in Valencia) (Not Javea)
25th April - 3rd May Fiesta of Jesus Nazareno in Javea with dancing in the street and bull running. ( low key)
7th - 24th June -Fiestas de San Juan. Javea pueblo fiesta with bull running, bonfire jumping, corre foc (again Google) fireworks, live concerts featuring well known Spanish groups, parades, mascletas and much more. The last week of this Fiesta is particularly worth being here for but do not count on being in bed before 2am most nights!
12th - 20th July - Moors and Christians fiestas in the Port. More parades, music and dancing.
29th August - 8th September Fiesta de Virgen Lorento in the Port with bulls in the sea (if they are not very clever) a mascleta, more music, corre foc, parades culminating in a fabulous firework display.

And that is just Javea! Don’t worry if your dates do not coincide with the Javea fiestas because there is almost certainly going to be a choice of fiestas to attend in the nearby towns and villages during the summer.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The entrance to the apartment is from the terrace adjoining the pool. Patio doors open into a sunny living room with two sofas. At the far end of the living room is a bedroom with twin beds, a fitted wardrobe and an en suite with shower. N.B. This is a very small shower room and is not suitable for very oversize people. Also leading from the living room is an attractive and unusual curved corridor leading to a lovely modern kitchen / dining room which is fully equipped for self catering, although with fabulous local menu del dia at 9 euros including wine you may not wish to cook very often! Off the kitchen is a small storage room with washing machine. Leading from the kitchen is the second bedroom with a super king bed a large en suite bathroom.

All rooms enjoy southerly views across the terrace to the pool and beyond to the valley and the mountains in the distance. There is full centrally heated and both bedrooms have electric fans. All windows are fitted with insect screens and external roller blinds to keep rooms cool and mosquito free during the summer.

Furnishings are of a good quality and the apartment has been freshly decorated and equipped for this season.

Further details outdoors:
For those who enjoy swimming the pool will be a delight. As it is salt water, (only just discernibly) chlorine use is minimal and so the water is kind to skin, eyes and hair. The pool is large and deep, designed for serious swimming. Adjoining the pool are two covered areas, therefore dense shade is always available, as well as areas that are in full sun. Sun loungers and outside chairs are provided, as is a gas barbecue. The garden has citrus, palm and olive trees and plenty of flowers. There is even a section of terracing dating back from when the Moors were in Spain.

From the terrace you will be able to enjoy spotting the plentiful bird life, especially the pair of Eagles that nest on the Montgo, the Bee Eaters from North Africa, Hoopoes and, if you are very lucky, a Night Jar. Several different species of Owls can be heard at night and the night sky is often spectacular from the terrace. There is also a delightful roof terrace which is reached by a spiral staircase and allows you a 360 degree panorama taking in the rocky face of the Montgo, the sea, the valley with its orange, almond and vines and the craggy mountains in the distance. Sunsets can be superb here.

For the less active holiday maker the shady terrace is the perfect spot for reading, writing, sketching and painting and simply relaxing while for the more active, apart from walking, swimming, golf and tennis there are also diving schools and a sailing club in Javea which offer certified diving and sailing courses.

Further details

Sheets and towels and a welcome pack are provided. Swimming towels may be hired (8 euros each). There is no extra charge for cleaning at the end of the rental period.
Change over day will normally be Saturday but this could be flexible depending on existing bookings.

Conditions

Due to the quiet nature of the property, as well as the proximity of the pool to the villa and the access to the roof terrace, only older children who are good swimmers are accepted at the owners' discretion. There are several steps down to the apartment and a few internal steps too which may or may not be a problem for the elderly or infirm - please discuss with owner. Please provide a land line phone number with your booking enquiry.

30% refundable deposit to secure booking.
