The pool takes centre stage at this contemporary villa, located on the ever-popular Costa Blanca. It’s bigger than average so there’s plenty of space for swimming a length or reclining on an inflatable. Outside you’ll also find plenty of sunny spots and shaded corners to relax, as well as an alfresco dining area – did somebody say barbecue? Location-wise, you’re just a short stroll from the local cove and if day trips are on the cards, the coastal towns of Calpe and Moraira are within easy driving distance.

Home truths:
*While one of the twin bedrooms isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*Your host can provide a complimentary cot and high chair – this must be requested at the time of booking, and you’ll need to bring your own cot linen.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*While the outdoor dining table seats ten, the indoor table only has room for six. Luckily, the Spanish weather makes dining alfresco the preferred option.
*There's a ground-floor bedroom with an en-suite bathroom here.
