Traditional spanish finca

A 200-year-old restored finca (villa) in the traditional Spanish style, that is completely unique in its setting and style.

From the thick stone walls, hand-cast terracotta floor tiles and wooden shutters to the beautiful bancales surrounding the property, this is a hidden gem that visitors return to year after year.

Totally secluded yet within minutes of the beautiful village of Jesus Pobre, the golf resort at La Sella and the two beach towns of Javea and Denia.

The house is surrounded by woodland making it a truly special retreat. At the front there are magnificent views of the Montgo mountain and national park while at the back of the finca is a private swimming pool and pergola.

There are three bedrooms: A master bedroom with superking-size bed, ensuite bathroom and balcony views of the pool and gardens. There are also two twin-bedded rooms which share a bathroom with walk-in shower and toilet. Between these bedrooms its is possible to sleep 6 adults comfortably.

All bedrooms have air conditioning.

Downstairs comprises a big kitchen with full dining table, an open-plan reading area and small lounge plus a large living room with smart TV and wifi.

Directly off the kitchen is a shaded pergola with outside sofas and chairs as well as an outside dining table. These look directly onto the swimming pool and are perfect for lounging around whether for breakfast, siestas or dinner.

A large BBQ area sits just to the right of the kitchen with BBQ and paella facilities. Steel cafe chairs set around a long traditional heavy wooden table. This area is wonderful for long lazy lunches while you watch the kids in the pool or you can sit under the soft lights at night that are strung above the table.

The pool is a good size and has full width steps all along the shallow end that make it perfect for toddlers learning to swim or for older guests who want to get in and out of the water easily. There are lovely traditional wrought iron railings with gates around the pool for child safety.

Right next to the pool is a relaxed chill out area with sofas and large coffee table, all shaded to keep you cool during the height of summer - great at any time of day and perfect for afternoon siestas.

All around the house are cleared bancales (traditional terraces) and you will find numerous quiet areas to sit with little tables, chairs and a hammock all at your disposal. There is also another wonderful long wooden table with great views. It catches the gentle afternoon breeze and is perfect for big family lunches outside.

At the end of the gardens is a terraced look-out area with a magnificent view of the Montgo which is hard to beat. Sit here and watch the sunset turn the mountain pink and red while you sip a sundowner and listen to the birds.

Below the pool area is a separate utilities room with washing machine and drier, close to a washing line which is out of sight from the house and pool.

La Mariposa is a truly unique property in a very special location, only minutes from the beautiful village of Jesus Pobre, and just a ten minute drive from the hubbub of Javea and Denia towns and beaches.

No wonder previous guests have described their stays at La Mariposa as "Magical"...Special"...and "Idyllic"
