Owner profile
About the owner
Our names are Amanda and Ian and we live in Tunbridge Wells, Kent with our 2 boys, aged 9 and 6.
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We bought our property in 2003 when I was 5 months pregnant with our youngest son. Bought in haste, but not regretted - the apartment has been our "white house in the sun" (our boys' name for it) and we have enjoyed many holidays. We chose Las Fuentes because it was well-established, quiet and residential. The many villas and houses are all beautifully maintained and our road remains quiet even in the busiest August. Alcossebre has changed a lot since then, but remains a family-friendly, bustling Spanish town where we can always relax with our children. The variety of beaches means we can always visit somewhere different each day. The restaurants are excellent and offer wonderful food - at almost any time of day so we don't have to "clock-watch" and can relax.
Unique benefits of the property
We chose our apartment because we loved the space it offered. With a budget for an apartment and a family of four, we didn't want to feel cramped and we found many "new-builds" simply didn't offer the same space. The utility room is so handy meaning we don't have to sit surrounded by clutter and laundry. The generous wardrobes mean we can stash all our stuff without tripping over cases for the length of our stay. We worked hard to equip the kitchen properly - we cook a lot when we stay there and wanted it to be a pleasure, not a toil. The dishwasher was a salvation! We've made sure there's plenty of glassware, china and plastic cups and plates for the kids and practical stuff like tupperware for leftovers.
