Comfortable 2 bedroom villa set in mature, 6000sq.m. shady gardens of owners country house with a stunning, large feature swimming pool for the use of guests. Xativa, with a diverse range of attractions and all the facilities of a large town (banks, supermarkets, cafes, bars) is only 5 miles away.
The historic castle set along a mountain ridge is a 'must see'. Convenient for main road links to the numerous attractions of the area, including the 'Blue Flag' sandy beaches around Gandia. There are many excellent restaurants in easy reach - the lunchtime fixed price menus offered by most are usually great value. Valencian Paella is the original and best!
The villa was recently reformed to a high standard for the owners use, not simply for letting. The lawned gardens are well maintained and provide ample space for children to play, or just for lazing by the pool in the sun. The large 12 x 7 metres private pool is ideal for swimming or relaxing on airbeds etc. There are easy steps at the shallow end and conventional upright steps from the deep end. The pool water is filtered and treated.
Extensive gardens in sun and shade. 2 small wooded areas attracting a wide variety of birds. The terrace patio is mainly covered (for much needed shade in summer!), although the lawned gardens provide ample space for sun worshippers. Four sun loungers provided. A barbecue is available.
The villa is in a rural location, but close to the main arterial roads for Xativa, Valencia, Gandia, Denia, Calpe and Alicante. Although it is easy to get to Xativa by train from Valencia, car hire is essential to enjoy the local area (unless of course you are keen cyclists!) A day trip to Valencia by train can be a pleasant alternative to driving into the city. Plenty of supermarkets, shops, bars and restaurants in and around Xativa. There is a twice weekly market in Xativa, and once a week in nearby Canals. Xativa is noted for its wide range of shops and amenities - there are doctors, dentists and A&E nearby should the need arise.
The Spanish speaking British owners are on hand to provide advice, information and help if necessary.
