Vacation Rental Description
This privately-owned apartment was completed during the summer of 2005. Situated on the top floor of a small, compact block of similar luxury units, the apartment's secluded south-facing terrace allows you to bask in the sun during the day and in the evening enjoy spectacular sunsets over the Sierra Bernia mountain range beyond Moraira. Although only a short drive from the wonderful, sandy beaches at Moraira and Javea, guests staying at the apartment also have their own key giving them access to a private, gated pool complex. This makes it ideal for families as the spectacular private pool area, with its two full-size infinity pools, showers, and small restaurant (offering free WiFi internet access), provides ample space to relax in a luxurious, safe setting. This exclusive area is within easy walking distance of the apartment allowing children to play in a secure environment. The apartment is also near a small, local centre which has a supermarket, pharmacy, bank and excellent restaurants.
Nearby areas of interest include:
CALPE, with its numerous sandy beaches, is about 20 minutes drive away. Here you'll also find the majestic Rock of Ifach. It was originally called the 'Northern Rock' by Phoenician traders in order to distinguish it from Gibraltar. The volcanic Rock measures over 300 m high and is now a nature reserve. However, for those wishing to get a breathtaking view of the coastline, there is a path which takes you to the peak.
JAVEA, about 20 minutes drive away, is split into 3 distinct parts: namely, the old town, port, and beach area. The mediaeval old town is a maze of narrow winding streets, white fronted houses adorned with wrought-iron balconies and gothic style windows, and many ancient churches. The old town leads down to the fishing port and harbour; home to an interesting collection of bars and restaurants, many of them serving the catch of the day. Javea has many beaches but the main area is Playa del Arenal. And, as in Pamplona, bull running through the streets of the old town still takes place on an annual basis.
DENIA, about 30 minutes away, is the largest of all the local towns. However, the town, rich in history, has still retained a lot of its old charm; for example, the fishermen's quarter preserves its delightful cobbled streets and whitewashed buildings. There is an abundance of beaches near the town, many of them consistently winning the European 'blue flag' for safety and cleanliness. Denia's main focal point, though, is its impressive 16th century castle which dominates the town.
Within just a short drive from the apartment, you'll also find a range of LEISURE ACTIVITIES to satisfy even the most discerning holiday-maker. For example, there are three excellent golf courses nearby with one of them, the Olazabal-designed course at La Sella, also offering tennis and squash facilities. In nearby Moraira and Javea, you'll also find diving schools and jet-ski facilities. However, for those wanting a more relaxing holiday, there are many scenic walks with the tourist office on Cumbre del Sol offering free guided walks of the area during the summer.
This apartment is ideal for couples, small families and those looking for a quiet, relaxing holiday yet having access to all necessary amenities.
The apartment has heating/air conditioning, the unlimited use of which is included in the rental.
Guests are requested not to smoke inside the apartment.
For larger groups the owners also have a luxury villa within half a mile of the apartment. Please contact the owners for further details.

CUMBRE DEL SOL is an exclusive residential area only about 10 minutes drive from the small, pretty fishing town of MORAIRA. Here, visitors can still stroll among narrow, flower-decorated streets in the town or just relax in one of the many pavement cafes. The town centre is an attractive blend of the old and the new with a wide selection of boutiques, shops, bars and some excellent restaurants offering a wide choice of Spanish and international cuisine. Moraira's main beach, L'Ampolla, at the foot of the castle, is an ideal 'family' beach with lots of golden sand and excellent facilities while just 1.5 kms away is EL PORTET which, with its gently sloping beach, is perfect for safe swimming. A traditional weekly market takes place in Moraira every Friday. Besides buying fresh vegetables and fruit, you can find a large selection of other merchandise such as plants, leather goods, and many other products from local craftsmen
