This well-located villa in Javea is a great option for a self-catered holiday in Costa Blanca. The interiors aren't luxurious but you'll have all of the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay and the valley views go some way towards making up for the dated decor. There's a decent-sized fully-equipped kitchen here and enough seating in the living area for all guests to relax in at full occupancy. We love the outdoor space – the well-tended gardens include a private swimming pool and plenty of areas for alfresco dining. La Grava beach is just 1km away from this home – while it can be reached on foot, we suggest hiring a car for ease.
