Apartment in BARXETA (province of Valencia)

We arrived at the front door of a standard looking terraced property in Barxeta which opened up to the most amazing world up above!

Going up around twelve fairly steep steps you get to the door of the joint owners apartment and then up another twelve or so steep steps you are on the main outside terrace level. Thankfully at this level we were guided to our two bedroom large self contained apartment with massive outside terrace ideal for sunbathing or al fresco dining. Amazingly there are fourteen self contained apartments all along the outside terrace which above also has upper terraces of wonderful scenting flowers. From there you go further up into the sky to an even higher level and steeper steps where you come across the true 'oasis in the sky' - a massive and superb pool complex where you can relax and swim whenever the hot Spanish sun gets too hot. What an incredible find and place!

There are two wonderful owner hosts in Esperanza and her sister Carmen who arrived after we had been there for 3 weeks. Esperanza mainly communicated with us in French rather than Spanish and speaks no English but she was so lovely in making us feel welcome throughout our stay. Carmen speaks excellent English and took us out to experience the local Spanish evening festivities and like her sister is a truly wonderful and friendly person.

Please go visit and experience for yourself and especially if you want the freedom to come and go to carry out missions like our own as we stayed for eight weeks searching for our 'Dream Home in Spain' as you will not find any other 'Oasis in the Sky'!
