Hello!
Villa Terrazas, our home, is a spacious private villa which we recently lovingly refurbished to a very high standard of interior design with virtually no expense spared! It is set high on a hill at the end of a private lane and surrounded by wild nature reserves, with uninterrupted 180° outstanding views that are truly spectacular. From the many extremely well equipped terraces you can see to the north the beaches of Denia and across the bay of Valencia and eastwards across the valley of orange and almond groves to the wonderful mountain of Montgo and the sea at Javea. With the mountains behind us to the south and west this really is an idyllic setting.
This traditional Spanish villa was originally purpose-built to benefit from the many hours of glorious sunshine but there is also a fully-covered terrace (a Naya) on the lower level and covered, partially-covered, and fully-covered terraces on the upper level. The magnificent raised BBQ terrace overlooks the 5m x 12m swimming pool and has hardwood dining furniture for 10 under an attractive pergola, providing dappled shade. The cooling afternoon hillside breeze ensures that ‘al fresco’ dining at Villa Terrazas, where ever you choose to sit, is always just perfect!
We are situated about half way between Valencia and Alicante on Spain’s beautiful ‘white coast’ or Costa Blanca. This area near Javea and Denia has been officially classified by the World Health Organisation as “environmentally near perfect” with an ideal climate. The area is also ideal for golfers, walkers and naturalists in winter and the cooler months. There are 3 fine golf courses, tennis, horse riding, water sports, a few discos, and fine restaurants in the vicinity. Being just 1 hour from Valencia, those visitors interested in Formula 1 Motor Racing at the Valencia European Grand Prix or the Americas Cup Sailing can take advantage of these events being so close by.
The sandy beaches at Javea Arenal are 20 minutes away and only a little further on are the rugged and more tranquil coves and beaches which adorn the spectacular coastline between Cap de Sant Marti and Cap de la Nao and beyond to the beach and cove of Granadella, and on to Moraira. Wonderful sailing and diving area! Even closer, all the way up the coast for the whole 20 miles from Denia to Gandia there are long wild sweeping natural beaches - often deserted other than for a few locals who try to keep them secret! With, of course, the occasional perfectly positioned beach bar to cater for your needs.
Our very Spanish pueblo (village) of Pedreguer is one of the ‘gateway towns’ into the Jalon Valley. A beautiful, fertile area of land where vines, olives, almonds, oranges and lemons grow in abundance. You can be deep into this stunning mountain scenery within five minutes drive from the villa - or simply walk out of the villa and on up over the hill!
Each summer we choose to continue our extensive global travels and during this time have pleasure in offering our home and all it's comforts to discerning visitors who we are sure would love it all as much as we do! John & Michelle Taylor (Villa Owners)
