Villa Eneida at Comunidad Valenciana

The Neighborhood

This private villa and pool are just one kilometre from Calpe’s beaches and tourist attractions. Playa de Levante la Fossa is golden, sandy and the sea is just perfect for swimming in. Between you and the promenade, there are beach-side tapas bars and restaurants selling everything you need. Looming over you, is Penon de Ifach; a regional and national landmark. This towering lump of rock is protected within a nature reserve and can be seen for miles up along Costa Blanca’s shoreline. It is possible to reach the top but only experienced climbers are advised to try it. Calpe’s history stretches back beyond the Romans, and across the town, you’ll find ruins and relics relating to the Iberians, Romans, Moors and even raiding pirates. Happily living alongside the old quarters, are the modern shopping streets, restaurants and bars. The marina bustles with nautical activity and you can try your hand at many different water sports here.  If you stay for lunch or dinner, look out for Calpe’s local rice and fish dishes, and try a glass of Jalon, the regionally produced wine. For those of you with a sweet tooth, almonds grow throughout this area, so soft chewy nougat is sold everywhere. Delicious! Golfers are spoilt for choice from Villa Eneida. Don Cayo is fifteen minutes north, San Jaime is twenty minutes south and La Sella is about half an hour’s drive on the motorway. All are excellent courses. If you’re feeling sporty but want to stay closer to home, you can play tennis within five kilometres or simply head off on a hiking trail virtually from your door and explore the picturesque scenery around Villa Eneida. If you’re lucky, you’ll detect the scent of orange blossom carried by the sea breeze.
