Located in Javea, just below the Montgo mountain area, sits this wonderfully spacious six-bedroom villa. Spread over two floors and with a separate apartment, Villa Caroix has been designed with traditional Spanish charm and features exposed beams, elegant archways, and floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors.

The living areas boast extensive facilities and all the modern comforts you could ask for, including air-conditioning, WiFi, and Bluetooth speakers. On the ground floor, the open-plan kitchen is a delight and is fully kitted out with high-end appliances and a sociable dining table. In the morning, enjoy coffee at the breakfast bar or push open the glass doors and step out onto the terrace. You'll feel your spirits lift as you breathe in the scents of jasmine, rosemary, and lavender as they waft across the garden.

Upstairs, guests will find the majority of the bedrooms, including a generous master suite that offers a large double bed, dressing room, and ensuite bathroom. This bedrooms connects onto the naya area, where guests can sit and enjoy the lovely views. The rest of the bedrooms on this floor have a mix of twin and double beds, with all but one enjoying an ensuite bathroom.

While the interior is gorgeous, the outdoor area is sublime. Take it easy on one of the many terraces and drink in the far-reaching views or step down to the dazzling swimming pool and cool off in the water. To aid relaxation, there's also a hot tub and barbecue area should you fancy eating al fresco. A separate garden apartment is a bonus (ideal for those who want a little more privacy) and features a games room, cinema room, bathroom, kitchen, and double bedroom, plus a glorious terrace with enough seating for everyone (please see T&Cs).

Kids will also love whiling away the hours in the outdoor games room with its table football, billiards, and darts board or chilling out with music in the tikki house. The property is set in a peaceful location, backed by mountains and close to the popular town of Javea. There is a restaurant within walking distance of the villa, while Javea, with its bars, restaurants, beaches, and coves, is only a 10-minute drive away.

Villa Caroix is nestled in the foothills of the Montgo mountain and is a tranquil place to live on the Costa Blanca. Surrounded by stunning nature, there are many hiking trails for those who want to explore the mountain on foot, while the Montgo Natural Park is roughly a 10-minute drive away. The park is a protected reserve dotted with beautiful wildflowers and shady trees and offers a host of walking and cycling trails that the whole family can enjoy. Alternatively, pack a picnic and spend the day exploring the park's caves and spotting rabbits, lizards, and eagles. Those with a head for heights can climb to the park's summit, where you'll be rewarded with magnificent sea views, and on a clear day, you'll be able to see the island of Ibiza.

Although the rugged location is wonderfully tranquil, the Mediterranean shoreline is just a 15-minute drive away in Javea.

Here you'll find a pretty cove with clear waters and a nearby chiringuito. Alternatively, head inland and discover Javea's old town brimming with beautiful architecture, arched doorways, Gothic windows, and 15th-century buildings. While here, be sure to visit Javea's museum to learn more about the town's history, then stop for a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants or bars.

In Javea, tennis lovers can also hit a ball at the local tennis courts, while golf enthusiasts can enjoy a round at the nine-hole golf club, both within a short drive from Villa Caroix.
