A  really lovely and curiously charming traditional village house which is boasting a very sunny location towards the edge of the small and friendly village of Alqueria de la Contessa. Situated on a quiet road with plenty of parking nearby and the vast orange groves literally 50 metres away. The amenities of the village are  just a moments flat stroll and include many small shops, schools, chemist, doctors, sports facilities, weekly street market, bars, restaurants, banks etc. There is also a small commercial shopping park nearby (10 min walk) which houses larger stores including electrical appliances, furniture, Lidl, Caprabo hypermarket, Aldi, bathrooms, ceramic tiling, shoe warehouse etc. Alqueria de la Contessa joins with the towns of Palmera and Bellreguard which have on offer many more major amenities.

The busy market town of Oliva with all amenities including many shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants, banks, schools, health clinic, sports complex, weekly market selling locally grown produce etc. is just a two minutes drive. The unspoilt sand dune beach of Oliva is a mile from the town and here one can find the Club Nautico and Marina with popular restaurant serving the fresh catch of the day and large open air swimming pool.
The less commercial sandy beaches of Piles, Miramar and Bellreguard are closer to the property and just a couple of minutes drive.
The Oliva Nova Golf Complex with 18 hole course designed by Seve Ballesteros is a 10 minute drive from the house and boasts a beautiful virgin sand dune beach setting with club house overlooking the course and open to the general public, superb restaurant with swimming pools and health spa.. 
The main town of Gandia with Award Winning Sandy beach is just 4 miles and the Playa of Gandia is the No. 1 resort for Spanish tourism with many families from the inland towns such as Madrid, Xativa etc. owning holiday homes here. The beaches here become alive in the summer months, as the heat in the interior rises and becomes unbearable the inland towns become deserted and the coast overflows with life and activities, families flock here to enjoy the cool sea breezes. There are at least 5 sandy beach resorts with safe swimming and popular bar / restaurants all within a few mins drive of the property. 

This character house is neither large nor small, its individual layout and design adds to the charm of the accommodation which also has some beamed ceilings and lovely Valencian floor tiling. There are front and rear stairs within the house connecting the ground and first floors. Ideal for permanent living as it has been utilized until very recently, or as a holiday home as this sleepy little village is very deceptive in that there are many amenities to be found here, plus it is in such close proximity to numerous blue flag beaches and the larger town of Oliva. It could also be used for rental purposes to provide an income.

This house is maintained in excellent condition throughout however there is some room for improvement e.g. kitchen and bathrooms are a little dated now, this would need to be done with the present style considered so as not to take away any of the natural charm of the place. Double dark pine carved doors with windows and shutters provides entry into the house, internal woodwork is also dark pine and in keeping with the character. There is a solar powered hot water system installed plus a normal hot water supply (not needed often), there are no furnishings included in the sale and the accomm. briefly comprises of:
