Experience
real Spain here in a traditional village house set among beautiful scenery
and orange groves.
Algar is well placed for
the beach and Valencia city but offers you the chance to explore more rural
Spain and its wonderful people. Great for children, too, as the village
has limited traffic, and the house is in a no through lane bursting with
flowerpots and next to the main square. The children will love running
wild and, if they need cooling down, the open air municipal swimming pool
is 300 metres away, again very easy to access.
The
house has 2 apartments.The 1st floor apartment ( Apartment 1) has 2 double
bedrooms,one of which has an 'alcoba', a traditional dressing room just
before the bedroom and a single room.
The kitchen diner is spacious
with a fully fitted kitchen, washing machine, fridge and a wood burning
range for the cooler nights or just to create a romantic atmosphere! The
kitchen leads on to the terrace which has a table and 4 chairs.
The shower room is modern
and fully equipped. The lounge has 2 sofas, television and balcony which
overlooks the lane.
There
are electric radiators in all rooms, and bedlinen/towels are provided.
The ground floor of the house
has been tastefully renovated to give a communal space, with a billiard
table, dart board, a library and bicycles for free use. It is also available
to rent for small celebrations.
Apartment
1 is traditionally decorated in burgundies and golds, echoing the arabic
roots of the house and the lane, being the oldest in the village. It has
many original features, such as carved wooden doors, ornate fire surround,
high ceilings with wooden beams.
