Further details
For the more discerning visitor to rural Spain:
If it's just beaches, boozing and bopping you are after you'll probably prefer Benidorm. We offer tranquility and comfort with a touch of class in the tiny village of La Drova hidden in the mountains, but less than an hour's drive from Valencia airport.
Our spacious cottage is designed to accommodate just 2 people, has every convenience of home and is set in extensive walled gardens overlooked by mountains and woods. The swimming pool and surrounding facilities are for your sole use. The friendly local village has neighbourhood shops, bars and restaurants plus 2 supermarkets.
Those with a thirst for histoy may visit nearby Gandia or Xativa with their ancient links to the powerful Borgia family with its Renaissance saints and sinners. For history, art and cutting edge modern architecture, a day trip to Valencia is a must. Visit Calatrava's stunning City of Arts and Sciences, the bustling Art Nouveau Market, the largest and most diverse in Europe,the Gothic cathedral containing the Holy Grail, Bull Ring, and throw in some retail therapy in the prestigious shopping quarter. Nature lovers will revel in the vast wetlands of nearby Albufera, a bird lovers paradise set among rice paddy fields and waterside restaurants serving authentic paella in the location where it was invented.
For a day away from mountain hiking why not drive 20 mins to the uncrowded sunny beaches of Gandia Playa, not yet discovered by the great British public. Fancy a game of golf? Oliva's fine golf courses are nearby. Depending on the calendar you may catch one of the many local fiestas, celebrations filled with colour, music, fireworks and spectacle.
Yachtsmen in the nearby marinas are already preparing for the forthcoming Americas Cup in Valencia. If it's activity and relaxation that you are after, but with that special difference and discernment,away from the Costas and surrounded by peace and the beauties of nature,why not contact us.

Owner profile
About the owner
I am a retired computer specialist and worked for Digital Equipment Company in Reading Berks. I bought this property about 20 years ago as a holiday home but liked the area so much so have lived here for 15 years.
The area is very Spanish, our house and the
Casita Blanca are built on 1800 mtr plot just outside the lovely village of Barx. What attracted us to the area was the natural beauty of the mountain scenery and walks for all levels if fitness.
Why the owner chose a home in this location
I had travelled many times throughout Spain and by chance stopped for coffee in Gandia on one particular holiday. I soon came to the conclusion that this was my sort of place. It has so much to offer for holiday makers and residents. It is still very Spanish and even though it is high in the mountains it is possible to be in the centre of Valencia within the hour.I had looked at other areas like Benidorm and Malaga but they were not really my sort of Spain.
Unique benefits of the property
The Casita Blanca is a home from home place,we try to include everything a holidaymaker would require on a Spanish holiday. Only 14km to Gandia which is a a lively Spanish town with its own beach.
