Traditional Spanish town house

Our area is well known as the Orange blossom coast

This is appropriate with the vast luscious fertile groves of oranges and lemons. Situated at the Northern tip of the Costa Blanca and the Southern area of Costa Azahar, you will find the busy market town of Oliva. A sweeping bay of mountains to the West and 18 kms of magnificent white sandy beaches to the East. This is without doubt the real Spain! Oliva is situated on one of Europe´s largest subterranean lakes and the drinking water quality is excellent and abundant

Old town Oliva

The area is steeped in history where you will be privileged to be able to live and be apart of the real Spain. Just a few minutes walk away will take you back in time as you stroll along the ancient Calle La Hoz. One of the major features is living with the Spanish culture where their love of life is reflected in their friendly, welcoming attitude towards life.
The house has been restored keeping many of the original features but offering some tranquility but with the advantage of modern day benefits. Smoking is not allowed and we ask that for your security and other guest´s comfort you do not smoke in the house.
The house is situated in a residential area, so there will be traffic noise, and during your stay you will be able to meet your Spanish neighbours.

Live the life

You will find many of the traditional dishes in the local restaurants and of course with rice being grown in the area paella is a must to sample. For fish lovers there is a huge variety of locally caught fish and shell fish. To compliment most dishes there are excellent local wines that you can sample first at the local bodegas. In the restaurants try the menu del dia for around 10 euros for three courses. Then back to your sunny roof terrace or the beach for your well earned siesta.
You must visit the local market on Friday where locals bring their fruit and vegetables to sell at prices that you would not believe. Do not forget that you buy by the kilo or you may get more than you bargained for!!
Many of the nearby towns and villages have markets and of course fiestas. A car would be useful to get around to make the most of the area and all it has to offer. Public transport is available to travel up the coast to Valencia with all of the trappings of a large historical city or south to Denia, Javea, Benidorm or Alicante.
