Casa Amarilla (Garden Apartment)

About Casa Amarilla (Garden Apartment)

Situated against a stunning mountain backdrop the ground floor Garden Apartment is the smaller of 2 luxury self-contained apartments at the villa - Casa Amarilla. It has its own entrance door which is accessed from the front garden. (The 3 bedroomed Pool Apartment (Ref 14271) is on the upper floor and is accessed via a flight of external steps. It has a separate entrance door). The whole villa (5 bedrooms/4 bathrooms/2 kitchens) may be used by larger families or groups as there is an integral staircase (with lockable door) connecting the 2 apartments.

The Garden Apartment is both private and secluded, but also wonderfully located in the lovely, verdant countryside on the edge of the La Safor National Park. It is also within a short drive to the beautiful blue flag beaches of Costa Azahar.

The master bedroom has been designed to be a romantic haven from the heat of the Spanish summer and the interior feels like an extension of the garden, with a tranquil pale pink and white décor. The king size bed is simply beautiful with a white enamelled ironwork frame and brass fittings below a white canopy. There is a ceiling fan as well as air-conditioning in the room. French windows open directly onto a covered terrace. Step outside and the theme is continued with white wicker furniture where you can relax and breathe in the mountain air and the amazing scenery. There is an open terrace for sun-worshippers or al-fresco dining in the evening.

The second bedroom, originally the water store for the house, has been lovingly re-designed to form a bedroom that continues the water theme. Decorated in pale blue, white and yellow it has a king size bed that can be arranged as two single beds if required. French windows lead onto the terrace shared with the master bedroom. There are two bathrooms, one with a large corner bath and the second with a walk-in shower.

The spacious lounge has two settees and a wood burning stove for use in the autumn and winter months. There is satellite TV, DVD and a music system. We also provide free wifi.

The fully appointed kitchen includes oven, ceramic hob, fridge (with freezer compartment), microwave and dishwasher. There is a dining area suitable for up to 8 people.

The apartment if fully-airconditioned/centrally heated and the main bedroom and living room also have ceiling fans.

The pool (shared with guests in the Pool Apartment) and its surrounding terraces are enclosed by low walls providing a genuine sun trap, but with shaded areas. Sun-loungers and table/chairs are provided for guests. The pool itself has a near constant depth of 1.5m.

There is also a small covered bar and a summer kitchen with full laundry facilities, barbeque and traditional wood fired pizza oven. There is also a small second BBQ in the lower gardens exclusively for guest use.

We provide a free welcome pack consisting of consisting of a cut loaf (white), butter, eggs, cereal, pasteurised milk, orange juice, teabags, coffee, sugar, salt & pepper and mineral water - all you need for a good breakfast on your first day.

The nearest town is Barxeta which has 3 small supermarkets, 2 butchers, 2 banks (with cash withdrawl machines), 2 bakers and a number of bars and restaurants.

The larger and historic city of Xátiva is only 7km away. Xátiva is dominated by views of its ancient castle and is also where the infamous Borgia family originated. Guided historic tours are available to make the most of this wonderful town. Eating out is very good value both at lunchtime and evenings.

Valencia City, with the Americas Cup port, L'Oceanográfic (one of the worlds largest Aquaria) and the truly awesome City of Arts and Sciences with its fantastic architecture - and of course wonderful shopping - is only an hour’s drive away and can also be reached by an excellent train service from a nearby town which takes only 50 minutes.

A beautiful drive over the mountains takes you to the fantastic blue flag beaches of Costa Azahar. Gandia, a busy town with a magnificent beach and promenade, is about 25 minutes drive away.

Visit the village of Bocairent built on the side of hill, with Moorish caves. Go to the rock pools at Pou Clar where the water is cold even in the heat of August.

Guadalest is a spectacular mountain village – well worth visiting.
