Excellent Calpe Cottage S116653

About this property

Conveniently located and a great base for exploring Calpe, Villa Frederica isn’t far from anywhere. Just five kilometres in from the coast, this private villa and pool is ideal for two families sharing, or if you’re travelling with grandparents.

Sleeping up to eight people, the accommodation is all on one level. Villa Frederica is cosy and cheerful. The lounge-diner adjoins the kitchen with an open hatch and breakfast bar, making this an open, sociable space for sharing a meal together or to plan the next day’s adventures. The three bedrooms have a welcoming country house feel, with terracotta floors and white walls. There are two double rooms and a twin room with two sets of bunk beds. The main bathroom is fully tiled and there’s an additional guest toilet.

Move outside onto your attractively arched terrace. Here’s where you’ll dine al fresco in true Mediterranean style. Imagine morning coffee out here as the day wakes up, or a leisurely lunch in the cooling shade. It’s also the best seat in the house for admiring your view. From your slightly elevated position, you can see mountains in the distance and Calpe’s amazingly green hills in front of you, covered in olive groves, orchards and vineyards.

When you fancy a dip, take the few steps down to your outside terrace. Your beautiful private pool is a generous size and almost impossible to resist. Lovely tiled steps lower you into the refreshing water at one end and it’s all yours. The whole family can swim and splash as much as they want all day long! Then pick a sun lounger and soak up the Costa Blanca sun – you can always cool off with the pool-side shower if the heat becomes too much.

You have plenty of beaches within a short drive from Villa Frederica. Playa de la Fossa is your closest. Calpe; a lively tourist destination famed for its sandy beaches, seafood restaurants and a fascinating history, is where you’ll find shops, supermarkets, water sports and markets. All ingredients needed for a wonderful holiday are within easy reach of Villa Frederica.

Villa Frederica is set in a residential area, within easy reach of everything you may want from your holiday on the Costa Blanca. Playa de la Fossa’s golden sand and clear waters are within five kilometres. There are restaurants and shops nearby to help everyone through a tough day’s sunbathing, swimming and sandcastle-building. Or you can venture to the other side of the rock and explore Playa Arenal Bol or travel north up the coast to Cala de la Fustera.

Your private villa is just a few kilometres inland from Calpe. There’s so much to see and do here, you’ll need more than one trip to this multi-faceted town. Not only does it boast wonderful beaches, it’s steeped in history, full of shops and the modern marina is next to the old port where you can dine on freshly caught fish and seafood.

Calpe is still a thriving fishing town today, and a fish auction takes place each morning at the harbour. If you want to try your hand at sailing, diving or water sports, or book a boat trip, they’re all available either at the marina or just further up the coast at Club Nautico Les Bassetes.

Penon de Ifach is Calpe’s imposing landmark. This towering limestone outcrop is right on the shoreline and rises to 332 metres. Surrounded by and protected within a nature reserve, it’s a regional and national icon.

After a day at the beach, or visiting the marina, your private pool will lure you back to Villa Frederica. Relax on your terrace with a glass of local vino and plan another trip to Calpe. Maybe this time to discover the historical sites and relics, left behind by previous settlers dating as far back as the Iberians. Happy planning!
