This amazing Casa de Pueblo is in the small town of Quart de les Valls, near Sagunto. It is 10kms (10mins) from the beach, and 35kms (35mins) from Valencia city. It is on the edge of the Serra Calderona Natural Park, with almost unlimited miles of hiking and bike paths. Although this house was built in 1970, some of the elements of its construction and decoration date from Arabic times...

Well, its more a palace on a hill, but you’ll see why I’m Happier using that title. This villa is outside Denia town, South of the Border from Valencia so to speak, with panoramic views across the countryside and the bay, and of course an actual Castle on a Hill in Denia town, Perfect. If your End Game is to live with the Beautiful People, look no further. Spread over 3 floors, there are 5 bedrooms...

Alpha Males, the fellas, the lads. Good times. Hemingway was the godfather of blokeishness and would have looked on approvingly whilst the latest Stag Do rolled up here to spend a few hours getting sunstroke and alcohol poisoning whilst dodging a baby cow in a bullring, oh you dressed up as a lady, what a hoot...

You know who loved kidneys? Leopold Bloom. James Joyce wrote in Ulysses that they gave his palate "a fine tang of faintly scented urine". (no complaints to the editor please, it can't be disgusting, its literature, innit?) But someone else who loves a kidney are Denia pool designers...

No there’s nothing wrong at all with this one actually, quite the opposite in fact but sometimes the better properties are hard to write, no chance for a pithy observation or sarcastic comment about the dubious layout and kitsch furniture, there are many descriptions on the site designed to entertain and grab your attention but no cheap thrills today im afraid...

Another day another house in Sot de Chera. Like we´ve said in previous listings, this area is among the most beautiful parts of the Valencian community. Located inland so sometimes it gets overlooked in favour if the more coastal villages and towns, but it is paradise for those who love to be literally on natures doorstep. Situated in a small plaza in the town centre...

If we were to rank small Valencian towns in order of prettiness, Sot de Chera would be right there near the top. It´s located inland in the mountains not far from wine country, about an hours drive from Valencia. A nature lovers dream, there are walking and hiking routes aplenty. The town itself has a river running through it that forms a natural swimming pool called “El gruñidor” (The growler)...

The day we went out to take photos of this property was the same day Storm Eunice was probably helping herself to a few of your roof tiles. No such problems here though, a balmy 26° and the sun high in the sky. Situated in the Monte Horquera area of Villamarchante , 5km from the town centre and 30 mins from Valencia this two-storey rustic villa has tonnes of charm, loads of space both inside and out and plenty of peace and quiet...

You might be forgiven looking at the photos here and thinking this property is in the middle of the forest. Trees and bushes everywhere, so sign of neighbours, I know, you're thinking rustic land and septic tanks. But no! throw all the paper and other objects down the toilet that your heart desires, this villa is in Naquera town, look at the map. There is a restaurant across the road...
