Location: Alicante, Valencia, Spain, Europe (25 minutes to Coastal Resorts of Denia & Javea)
Accommodations: Traditional Farm/Finca Estate, 9 Bedrooms + Den, 5 Baths (Sleeps 16-20)
Ideal for groups of two up to sixteen people, Finca La Asmoladora, is a magnificent, traditional, old finca estate in the middle of fourteen acres of almond, olive, vine and orange terraces; a stunning property in a spectacular location with panoramic mountain views. It is a haven of rural beauty, peace and quiet close to the unspoiled pueblo of Parcent - "paradise between mountains" - but only 25 minutes easy drive from the renowned beach resorts of Javea, Denia and Moraira.
The finca can accommodate groups from two to sixteen people in Casa Andrago, a superb five bedroom house sleeping eight, and in three charming Casitas, each sleeping either two or four. All the finca’s accommodation is arranged around an attractive stone paved courtyard and walled garden. Casa Andrago is made up of an interconnected Guest House and Tower, each sleeping four, which can be rented separately.
La Asmoladora's Casa and Casitas are all self contained with their own superbly equipped bathrooms and kitchens or kitchenettes. They are all decorated and furnished with fascinating items from the owners art and ancient farm implement collections. They are all available for rent individually or in combination. This allows very flexible accommodation for couples, families or larger groups.
All guests have equal access to the very large pool, barbecue area and tennis court but, as the property is extremely large, over 14 acres - different groups can share the finca and easily maintain their privacy. The finca is an excellent base for combining sea, beach and sporting activities with driving, riding (horses or mountain bikes), walking, biking, climbing or just roaming the surrounding mountains.
The valleys lined with fruit and almond trees - an endless sea of pink/white blossom in spring - and the unspoiled mountain pueblos are a delight to explore. The produce of the local wineries is well worth sampling - the tiny winery in Parcent supplies the Spanish Royal family. After a quiet glass of wine and a few almonds from the estate while watching the sun set dramatically behind Parcent, there are memorable restaurants of all types to try in the area. The historic cities of Valencia and Alicante are just 75 minutes away. A car is essential. Preferential car rental rates are available to guests from the largest and best regional car rental company.
La Asmoladora is family oriented during the summer months. It is an idyllic, romantic places for couples and small groups the rest of the year. Surrounded by mountains of three sides, it is also an ideal place for all mountain based activities providing excellent accommodation for climbers, walkers and cyclists during the autumn/fall, winter and spring. It is also an excellent base for searching for property in the Jalon valley and the nearby coastal resorts.
La Asmoladora has a broadband WiFi internet system available free of charge to all guests.
Extra beds and cots can be provided on request.

After a year of global travel, surprise and delight are all in a days work. La Asmoladora proved to be the exception to the rule, however. A slice of paradise and a haven from the excesses of the coast. Pam and Derek are fabulous hosts, offering hospitality, experience and advice above and beyond the call of duty. We have had a fabulous week here and will spread the good news wherever we go.
