A slice of ancient Spanish life awaits you at the rare splendor of Villa Creueta, occupying enviable real estate just a ten-minute walk from the vibrant city center of Calpe but enjoying absolute serenity in a peaceful place tucked away from the action.

As soon as you catch sight of the warm sunlight on golden stone, you know you are in for a very special stay. This historical villa may date all the way back to 1870, but it enjoys all the modern amenities you need for a comfortable holiday soaking up the flair of Spain’s mesmerizing Mediterranean coast.

Externally, the villa enchants with its farmhouse feel. A generous pool of no less than 12 x 5m shimmers and stretches in the courtyard garden, trimmed by hedges to provide ample privacy for afternoons lazing by the water. White sunbeds, ruby red parasols, an al fresco dining table and large barbeque make it easy to spend the whole day outdoors – sizzling fish, sipping beer, napping and splashing in true summer style.

Moving inside, and the house has retained its natural character boasting heavy exposed beams, stone, flagged floors, and an open fireplace that brings a sense of romance. The dining room delivers a cool space to escape the midday sun but blurs the lines between outdoor and indoor living. The lounge is cozy with dark wood furnishings and pale sofas for sprawling around the fire. It’s easy to imagine endless evenings sipping vino, playing boardgames with the family, or reading in peace.

The ample kitchen has all you need to whip up fabulous family suppers and the over sized refrigerator offers more than enough room for storing cerveza and tapas delights.

Four well-dressed bedrooms and three bathrooms ensure plenty of space for family and friends. Three of the bedrooms sit upstairs and one sits down on the main floor. Bedrooms are full of character and in-keeping with their 19th century feel.
The two single rooms are joined, accessible only by passing through each other – making them a fun room choice for children. The upstairs double room is an attractive ensuite, and the double on the first floor is ideally placed for grownups wanting a dose of peace and privacy or those who may struggle with stairs.

With Calpe a stretching stroll away, you can quickly be immersed in the charm of picturesque shores, buzzing bars, and scenic fishing boats bobbing in the water. The amazing Arenal Beach can also be found less than 20 minutes walk (1,4km), offering wide golden sands, swaying palms, and wonderful waterfront dining.
