Owners overview
Enjoy a superb family Holiday in our beautiful Spanish Villa. This website tells you all you need to know about the villa, its location, rental prices, availability, things to do, how to get there and much more!
Villa Mimosa is a new, fully air-conditioned detached luxury villa, completed in January 2006. It is located in Orba, in the Marina Alta region of the Northern Costa Blanca, in Spain. It's only about 20 minutes drive to great golf and the beaches at Javea, Denia, Moraira, and half an hour to Calpe.
Outside, the villa has a covered shaded terrace ("naya") at ground floor level, with direct access from both the kitchen and the living room / dining area. An exterior dining table and six chairs are provided here. This area is perfect for dining outdoors, and lounging in the shade with a cool beer.
Down a few wide steps (tiled with beautiful Spanish terracotta) you will find our private 8 metre by 4 metre kidney-shaped swimming pool - with internal tiled steps - and a further tiled terrace / patio area equipped with sun-loungers. The pool has a shallow end of about 0.9 metres, and a deep end of about 1.8 metres. The exterior pool edging is non-slip.

Beautiful situation
The villa is situated amongst other similar properties on a small urbanisation overlooking the beautiful Orba Valley, in the Marina Alta region of the Costa Blanca.
The villa offers wonderful views of orange and lemon groves, almond plantations, ancient olive groves and the nearby mountains, and you can enjoy superb sunsets over the valley. Orba is a really pretty Spanish village (or small town) in the north of the Costa Blanca offering a great range of local facilities, and is an ideal base from which to explore the area.
Orba is located about 10 miles inland from the Mediterranean coastal towns of Javea and Denia. It has an altitude of about 160m above sea level and is home to about 1600 people. Picturesque mountains form a backdrop and there are wide, uninterrupted, magnificent views from most villa properties - including from Villa Mimosa. Orba is situated at the head of a large fertile valley that grows mainly citrus fruit of a quality that is the best in the world.
The Orba Valley is a haven of tranquillity, where citrus trees nestle alongside almond plantations, giving a beautiful scent to complement the stunning scenery of rolling hills down to the sea. Orba is relatively unaffected by tourism and retains its Spanish identity.
Orba village and the surrounding whitewashed villages have retained their traditional Spanish feel, with weekly markets and plenty of bars restaurants, shops and other amenities to choose from. Yet despite this, or perhaps because of it, a significant number of English, Dutch, German and Swiss have made Orba their home town and many have integrated well with the friendly local people.
