Modern villa in picturesque Spanish surroundings
There are spots that conjure up the classic image of privileged and jet set lifestyles; places whose charm and idyllic setting drink in views that are the stuff that dreams are made of. The Mediterranean has its share of these, so you needn't feel restricted to the likes of Monaco, St Tropez and Porto Cervo and their stratospheric prices.
Indeed, the panorama afforded by the town of Altea, on Spain's east coast, is every bit as impressive, including in a single gaze a sweeping bay, the iconic outcrop of Calpe jutting into the sea and the Mediterranean meeting the sky on the distant horizon. Calpe has been likened to the Rock of Gibraltar in shape and stance, another icon of an ancient sea.
To enjoy a prominent vantage of this spectacle is a privilege indeed, but it is exactly that which gives this authentic modernist villa such rare appeal. Set up against the slopes of a mountain overlooking the sea, Calpe and Altea, the property enjoys an open window to the curvature of the bay.
From its stylish terrace deck, framed by fragrant Mediterranean vegetation, the world before you seems close enough to touch, yet the villa itself is a bastion of privacy and tranquillity wrapped in the green embrace of a landscaped garden. Where the terraces make the most of the views and the 5x10 metre swimming pool offers peace and seclusion - two alternative ways of enjoying one of the most pleasant and healthiest climates in Europe.
Modernist elegance
An original modernist villa that has been updated to combine contemporary elegance and comforts with one of the most classic of all architectural styles, the property typically belies its dimensions through a layout that brings light and life into rooms just as it breaks down volumes.
Very much a designer or architect's favourite, this stylish villa brings designer chic into every room, from the sunny living room and other reception areas to the kitchen, seven airy bedrooms and five bathrooms.
The architectural styling is intriguing, the layout impressive as you discover the successive delights such as a private sauna, gym and wine cellar. As befits a home of this standing, there is also an independent guest/staff apartment complete with three bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and lounge/dining room.
Endowed with the latest comforts and amenities, this modernist gem, which has recently been reduced in price, exists in one of those iconic Mediterranean spots. Looking down on a scenic panorama from a quiet, private location, yet also surrounded by the very things that give the Mediterranean its appeal. Among the more traditional elements, such as Spanish cuisine, climate and street life, now also come golf courses, spas, chic shopping, fine dining and a host of racquet clubs, water sports and motoring pursuits, not to mention the cultural treasures of nearby Valencia and the Spanish hinterland.
