 | La Madrugada
(the dawn) is set, with other similarly large and exclusive individual villas, in a desirable residential location five to ten minutes by car, from the small coastal town of Moraira.
Built on the top ridge of a pine covered hill straddling two valleys, south-west facing with all-day sunshine, it enjoys an elevated position affording stunning views of the various distant inland valleys and the Bernia mountain ranges which act as a backdrop to the most mesmerising sunsets. The style is Castellion, with interesting bright principal rooms taking full advantage of the surrounding countryside.
The position and design enables the villa to keep cool during the summer heat.
The property is well maintained and furnished in high quality modern furnishings.
With the plot enjoying maximum sun hours each day, there are various terraces laid out for sitting/sunbathing should one wish to enjoy aspects of the gardens and views. A further, very large, 85' long lower terrace Secret Garden affords additional secluded, pine tree sheltered dining and enjoying distant views of the sea via the El Portet valley. The mature garden has been professionally landscaped with various Palms, Conifers, huge bustling Poplars, seasonal flowering trees and plants including the obligatory Geraniums and Bougainvillea.
Accommodation - comprises of a bright, large triple aspect circular living room, well furnished, with a large Digital Satellite television*, DVD player, CD/radio/tape player and ceiling fan.
Through an open arched doorway, there is a modern fully fitted kitchen.
The tiled roof conservatory (more an observatory) has three double, tinted,
windows which open fully and make it a perfect dining room at any time of the day or night. This room is well furnished with two new quality wicker armchairs and an attractive new modern dining suite.
There are three bedrooms (2 double and 1 twin). The doubles (please note that one of them is accessed separately from the outside) have their own fully tiled en-suite shower rooms whereas the twin has a separate fully tiled shower room adjacent to it.
Outside - At the pool level we have a separate indoor second kitchen Paellero which consists of a large barbecue, tiled worktops, sink, gas hob, convection microwave, small fridge and a dining table with four chairs. The pool terrace has a covered area for outside dining. There is an additional outside dining area in the Secret Garden, with views to the distant sea, and where you will find another built-in barbecue.
IMPORTANT - Please note: The second double bedroom is at pool level accessed externally and separate from the main accommodation.
Internet Access - A free ADSL broadband connection is available for guests' use. You must take your own laptop to connect up: the router can be accessed by cable or by wireless, instructions at the villa.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a subscription service. However, it is not a guaranteed facility as the service could go down (possibly due to problems with connection, tampering by previous guests, etc). This facility is provided by the owner for your enjoyment and the local contact will not be able to help with technical assistance should you require it. We cannot be held responsible for any failure of the service by the telephone provider, as any repair to the service is dependant on the telephone company. Internet cafes in town are available should you require them in the event of any failure.
Telephone - A telephone is connected in the living room, where you can make free local calls within province of Alicante, and receive incoming calls.
*Digital Satellite Television - currently includes BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channels 4 & 5, SKY Movies Premier 1, SKY Sports 1 & 2, SKY 1, Discovery and UK Gold.

Solar-powered heating - solar panels provide hot water for the villa, and for the swimming pool in winter.
Additional Pool Heating - Oil-fired heating, when required, is charged upon meter usage.
Central Heating - Oil-fired full central heating is charged upon meter usage.
Air-conditioning & warm-air heating - Units to bedrooms and living room, charged upon meter usage. The Panasonic units are very cost efficient to run. Cost on average is about 1€ per day usage per unit when being used all the time. Ideal when hot at night to have temperature set at 16-18 degrees.
More information about villa usage deposits & charges
Additional Deposits
OIL-FIRED BOILER - £50 Pounds (Sept-June) usage deposit (per week).
AIR-CONDITIONING/WARM-AIR HEATING - £25 Pounds usage deposit (per week).
This is required irrespective whether you will be using it or not, and the meter will be read upon the day of arrival, and departure. This will appear automatically on the booking form.
Important Pool Heating Note - Please note that it is difficult to estimate the cost of pool heating, as you are able to control it yourself and heating depends on the ambient temperature during your period of stay. Should you use the heating economically, with a medium setting when it is not cold or wet using the poolcover (provided at most villas) at all times when the pool is not in use, then an approximate cost would be 7-10 Pounds per day (average spend projected for 2008 with fuel increases to May 08 is 50 pounds pw), depending on outside temperature. Should you use the pool at the highest heat setting and leave it on 24 hours a day, with no pool cover blanket, then the price can escalate to 30 Pounds per day. View Larger Map
