With a sprawling garden and terrace – ideal for delicious dinners under the stars or a snooze on the outdoor sofa – a sparkling pool and plenty of room to spread out, this home checks all the boxes for a laid-back coastal stay. The light, bright interiors make the most of that sunlight and have plenty of beautiful ceramics and sculptures from all over the world to admire. The local resort provides plenty for those who want to get out and about, with bakeries and cafes within ambling distance – perfect for breakfast pastry pickups – climbing, hiking, surfing and sailing for the adventurous, weekly markets and fiestas and festivals if you come at the right time of the year. You're also just over one kilometre from the powdery beaches the Costa Blanca is known for – grab a deck chair and don't move for a while.
