Amazing 3br-2ba/100mt2Beach/Pool/Must see pics!

The accommodation

This is a brand new all exterior large 3BR/2BA home located in one of the most beautiful locations in Spain. Alcossebre is considered the jewel in the crown of the Costa del Azahar and the ideal place for your vacation. The gated-community where the town home is located, was built about 8 years ago. We just purchased this property and absolutely everything is brand new and of excellent quality.

The downstairs area features a very spacious living/dining room that opens to a large private backyard. Patio furniture includes table and 6 chairs so you can also enjoy your time/meals outside. I don't currently have pictures of the private patio/garden since it's being worked on right now and it's going to be amazing! Also, the large eat-in kitchen (fully equipped) and a full bathroom with shower are also located in the downstairs area. The upstairs area features three large bedrooms and another full bathroom with double shower. As you can see from the pictures, the house has been furnished and decorated with exquisite taste.

The common spaces include a big grass area surrounding the property, the wonderfully kept 'indoor patio' and 'capilla'(chapel) from the old house - refer to my personal story for more details-, and a big pool with a kids section while you will spend some fun time for sure. All rooms in the house are exterior so there is plenty of natural light and ventilation. The rent also includes one designated parking spaces. This property is everything you need for a memorable vacation and more!

I also have two other properties in this same complex, one is exactly like this one but the decoration is a bit different and it sleeps seven people #522145. The other one is a bigger one at 150m2 of living space. It features 3 full bathrooms and just the living rooms is over 35m2. It also has 90m2 of private backyard, being the second largest in the entire community. It's a corner unit and it has two parking spaces right by the house since it's a corner unit. For more information about this house, please see #205457. Thank you!

Setting

The town home is in a gated community only 100 meters to Playa del Cargador and 300 meters to Playa Romana, the best two beaches in town. You can also walk to the charming downtown in less than 10min and to the Marina area in about 25/30 minutes. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and pretty much everything you will need close by. However, when you are in the home (and in this particular community) it also feels very mellow and calm. No noise at all from the action areas. At night you will only hear the Sea :)

Activities and attractions

Nature --- alcossebre is the heart of the orange and fruit growing region(costa de azahar), which is bordered on one side by the mountains of the serra d' irta, and the sea on the other side. Here the sea and the mountains come together to form contrasting landscapes. Along its ten kilometers of coastline there are five high quality beaches. They are all very clean and well kept, and the best one of all is only a 2 minute walk from the house! there are also various coves along the way. These mediterranean waters are ideal for water sports such as sailing, fishing and scuba diving, amongst others. Alcossebre is also a good base from which to explore the columbretes islands nature reserve.

Many different routes and footpaths run through the sierra de irta mountains, alcossebre's great nature area. Other interesting places are the l’estany wetlands and the dunes to be found between el carregador and la romana beaches. The house is located between these two amazingly beautiful beaches. In addition, those that enjoy wildlife the ebro delta is less than an hours drive north, where you can take both river & sea trips for fishing, or just enjoy the walks or the beach.

Food ---- local gastronomy is also highly varied, with fish and rice dishes being some of its most outstanding. There are in excess of 50 restaurants & bars in the area, which provide food & drink to suite every palette. The best is that they stay open until very late so you can have dinner at 6p.M. Or at 11p.M.!! don't forget to eat tons fresh seafood and paella while here hmm...Delicious! don't mind a little wait sometimes as it is part of the experience and you are on vacation anyway! :-)

Nearby Towns ---- within easy drive are the historic towns of morella and peniscola, which medieval casttle provided the setting for the hollywood film, el cid. Also, make sure you visit the city of valencia, the 3rd largest city in spain that hosted the american's cup a couple of years ago (and also in 2 more years!). Don't miss el 'barrio del carmen' for it has incredible character, and the 'city of sciences' that hosts the largest acuarium in europe. Valencia really is an incredible city and it's called the city of light and love for a reason! if you decide to come the 3rd week of march you will also get to experience the celebration of 'las fallas', witch is something a little difficult to explain. You will need to see for yourself.

Water and theme parks ---- there are also many water and thematic parks around. The best water one is about a 25 min. Drive from alcossebre in a town called benicassim, and it's called 'acuarama'. You and your kids will absolutely love it!. There also 2 incredibly huge theme parks that are also very fun for the whole family. You need to stay a whole day in order to enjoy the rides and everything they have to offer. One is located about 1 1/2 hour north and it's called 'port aventura' and the other one is about 2 hours south and it's called 'terra mitica'. There is also a go-carting in oropesa, which is only a 15 minute drive.

Golf ---- if you enjoy playing golf, you may want to know that there are two championship class golf course's within 45 min's drive of the villa, as well as a 9 hole course which is 30 min drive away. The first course is 'panoramica' which was designed by berhnard langer, this is close to vinaros, which is north of alcossebre, take the n340 to vinaros then follow the n232, from where it is signposted. The second, mediterranio is south of alcossebre, take the motorway, a7 to castellon north, junction 46, from where it is 10 min drive. This is the older of the two courses, and sergio garcia's home course. The 9 hole course, also to the north of castellon, is near the port area, it is a 'parkland' course, which is fairly flat but very tight.

See? ---- Not only the house is beautiful and everything you and your family need for an awesome vacation, but there is also so much to do while you are here! however, if you are just looking to disconnect from your busy daily routine and spend your vacation time reading, sitting by the pool, taking long walks on the beach, and just enjoying the delicious food, this is also the perfect place as you can find peace and quiet as well. It truly is a wonderful place and you will have a restful and memorable vacation.

Wherever you decide to stay, may you have a great holiday! :-)
