Description
Finca La Asmoladora is a magnificent old Spanish estate in the middle of fifteen 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 unspoilt pueblo of Parcent - 'paradise between mountains' - but only 30 minutes' easy drive from the renowned family beach resorts of Javea, Denia and Moraira. The finca is set up to accommodate groups from 2 to 16 people in Casa Andrago, a superb five bedroom house sleeping eight, and in three charming Casitas, each sleeping either two or four. Extra beds/cots are available so the finca can accommodate up to 20 people. A small charge is made for each extra bed supplied. All the finca’s accommodation is arranged around an attractive stone paved courtyard and walled sculpture garden. Casa Andrago is made up of an interconnected Guest House and Tower, each sleeping four. The finca is ideal for groups of all sizes wanting to holiday together and is a superb and beautiful place to celebrate a special event - Wedding, Silver or Golden Wedding, sigificant brithday or anniversary etcetera.
La Asmoladora's Casa and Casitas are all superbly equipped and are 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. The property is extremely large. It has a river running through it and paths which criss cross it. The large stone paved courtyard, the extensive walled sculpture garden, the stone paved terraces behind the Casitas and the enormous pool and barbeque terrace provide a wide choice of places for outdoor eating and drinking. The stone paved courtyard has been used by many groups for cocktail parties. The pool/barbecue terrace is ideal for music and dancing. The nearest neighbour is over 250 yards away. The finca has hosted many weddings, golden and silver weddings and countless birthday celebration.
A renowned cook of local pueblo/regional dishes is available to prepare paellas etcetera for guests at the finca.
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 finca has its own excellent hard court tennis court, outdoor table tennis facilities and basket ball facilities - raquets, bats and balls all provided. There are also a small number of rentable mountain bikes and bikes for children. 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. There are two safari parks a short drive from the finca and Benidorm - about 45 minutes drive - has as wide variety of theme parks including Terra Mitica. The family resorts of Javea and Denia - each about 30 minutes away - both have a wide varierty of beaches, coves and caves to explore and fascinating historic centers. The castle in Denia dates back to Phonecian times. Both resorts have harbours with fishing fleets and markets where fish off the boats is auctioned.
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 finca's almond trees while watching the sun set dramatically behind Parcent and the mountains, if you are not tempted to barbecue your food using the finca own covered facilties, 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.
