You are spoilt for choice as to where to dine around the house; on the very large naja, in the deep blue sunken garden, under the 10 columned pergola on the terrace overlooking the sea, or at the huge circular black granite table in the dining room.The huge picture window in the drawing room looks out over the horizon swimming pool, and the sea. The many Moorish lanterns give the villa a very exotic quality, and at sundown the villa takes on a totally different mood.For your al fresco dining there is a large Weber gas barbecue.

Javea is made up of three distinct areas the Arenal (main beach) lined with restaurants. The Port, with its delightful pedestrianised area at the edge of the sea, again lined with restaurants, and behind both areas, up a hill, is the Old Town itself, with its fascinating maze of narrow winding streets and the taste of real Spain. There you will find the Old Market, and a rare fortified church which has no windows at all at street level. It too has its distinctive local restaurants and bars.The villa is full of surprises, and will delight those looking for the unusual, exotic yet practical.
