The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region


MORAIRA WEATHER & CLIMATE
Many people are choosing to visit or live in Moraira due to the excellent all-year round weather conditions.
Moraira is a town on the Costa Blanca coast of Spain and enjoys more than 2,800 hours of sunshine each year, with an average annual temperature of 19.3 degrees Celsius.
Because the weather and climate in Moraira is so favourable, Moraira has become a popular tourist destination for sun lovers enjoying approximately 325 sunny days each year.
The World Health Organisation describes the climate of this area of the Costa Blanca as one of the best in the world. Moraira's summers are hot - but not too hot - due to the cooling breezes; the winters in Moraira are mild with many clear blue sunny days. Moraira's climate and weather is very healthy especially for sufferers of arthritis.
Moraira is in the Alicante Province but only 1.5 hrs drive from the ancient city of Valencia, which is a MUST to visit.
The Moraira / El Portet area
Moraira comes under the municipality of Teulada, a charming inland town about 4 kms from the villa. These are two upmarket towns with wonderful facilities but without the high-rise developments which have affected some other regions. The area has a range of good restaurants, tapas bars, markets and shops to suit all pockets and tastes.
Moraira and Teulada are easily reached by hire car from Alicante airport and we shall provide you with detailed instructions from door to door. We recommend that you hire a car from the airport to enable you to explore this beautiful area of the Costa Blanca.
If you have children, the Terra Mitica (a Disney-style theme park) or Aqualandia outside Benidorm are worth a visit. And for grown-ups and older children we can personally recommend Benidorm Palace, with it's 5-nights a week Dinner & Dance Show Spectacular. It is an excellent value for money, from 20.30 to 24.30 hrs.
In mid-July Moraira enjoys a week of Fiesta and Fireworks Celebrations. You will find that most weeks of the rental season there is a Fiesta in one of the surrounding towns or villages. The Moraira Tourist Information Centre will provide you with details and maps of the area. Altea, about 30 minutes drive, enjoys a colourful Moors and Christians Fiesta at the end of May.
The ancient fortress of Guadalest is a MUST visit - you will drive through a lovely region of lemon and orange groves to reach Guadalest, all within an hour's drive from the villa. The Jalon valley, a wine-growing region, is also worth a visit for it's charm and rustic restaurants. The area is a combination of vineyards, orange, lemon and almond groves with spectacular mountains on the horizon.
To the north of Moraira, about 30 minutes drive away, is the ancient port of Denia, to the west of Moraira is the port of Javea, another interesting destination. There are several golf courses within a short driving distance of Moraira.
Springtime is especially beautiful when the groves are in blossom. We are sure that like us, you will fall in love with Moraira and Teulada regions..
We hope that if you visit once, you may wish to return.

Reviews

We had a lovely two week holiday at Casa Zenia with our two children (age 4 and 2) and their Granny. The villa is in a great location in the village of El Portet and is only a few minutes walk to a small sandy beach which is ideal for small children as they can run in and out of the sea and play in the sand safely. The town of Moraira is a 15 min walk from the villa and had a good selection of bars and restaraunts without being overly commercialised. All the restaraunts were very child friendly. There were a good selection of local supermarkets although realistically a car is necessary to get to them. Casa Zenia can be found up quite a steep hill which was not an issue for us but could be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. The villa is situated within its own self contained substantial plot which is kept beautifully and again felt very safe for small children to be able to run around. The pool is fantastic and one of the best we have ever had, our children loved the small children's paddling pool and had hours of fun in it. The upstairs self contained room is lovely and worked really well for us as Granny was able to have some space to herself. The owners were very good in terms of communication with us right from the start when we enquired about the villa. The paperwork sent through about the villa was very thorough and the directions to the villa were very good, we found the villa straight away (unlike other places we have been where directions have been vague). We enjoyed our holiday so much that we have already booked for next year. |

Very clean and exceptionally well equipped and maintained. The fact that this was our second visit to the property within as year indicates our high level of satisfaction |
Guestbook for CASA ZENIA
"We come to El Portet frequently because of the charm of the place and the family-friendly sandy beach."
"We have been taken by the charm of El Portet bay and enjoy sitting in the bar and watching the sea change colours."
"Thank you for letting us stay at the beautiful Casa Zenia. We had such a lovely week and are sad to be heading home to Manchester and Woking - and to work."
Just wanted to send you an email to say what a lovely holiday we had and thank you for letting us stay in your spanish home. The children loved the pool especially the toddler section, and it was just the right temperature. It was good to have such a good supply of plastic plates, cups etc as usually I have to worry about them with glass! Also, many many thanks for supplying such an excellent quality and spotless clean high chair and cot - the cot is larger than normal and my 14 month old had no problems at all sleeping in there.
We are already looking at booking next years flights so you may well hear from me again in the next few months!
Just wanted to drop a quick e-mail to say we had a great hols and loved the villa and great location El Portet is superb, can't think of a reason why we will not re visit.
All your info in the info pack made it very stress free which always helps with small ones. Many Thanks Again
Dear Zenka and Ian
Just a brief note to say how much we enjoyed our holiday in your beautiful Spanish home. The villa had everything we needed and it was great to be within walking distance of the beach, shops and Moraira itself. We were particularly impressed with the food and service at Del Pescador - their paella, steak and swordfish were voted the best of our holiday!
