Description from the owner
This lovely ground floor apartment is situated on the attractive low rise gated Pueblo Marino Complex in the Urbanisation of Torreblanca . The complex has the benefit of being placed in a quieter residential area but still conveniently situated between Torrevieja (5 mins drive) and La Mata (3 mins drive), on the South Costa Blanca coast in the province of Alicante, Spain. The nearest beach to us is called Torrelamata, which is a long sandy, blue flag beach and around a 20 minute walk or 2 minute drive away. There is something for everyone in the area, whether it's bars and restaurants (even the odd karaoke bar and nightclub are easily reached) or a quiet relaxing holiday, for family or couples you will find it all. There is an excellent bus service to both Torrevieja and La Mata town centres, both which hold their weekly very popular markets. The stunning pool is shared with other residents and holiday home owners, from Spain, the UK and other European countries. It has a reputation as the best pool in the area and is built as three crystal blue swimming pools , on three levels , the separate children’s pools being on the top.Lush ,shaded gardens, with benches and showers for your comfort , surround the pools and there is plenty of room for sunbathing. You can see the sea and the seaside town of La Mata from the pool area and gardens which are all very stylishly laid out. Even in the height of season is never over crowded. The patio / garden is spacious and well equipped with garden furniture and sun loungers for up to six guests and a small free standing barbeque, enabling you to enjoy Al Fresco drinking and dining on a warm summer’s evening. Being south facing the patio enjoys several hours of sunshine. A fence surrounds the gated patio / garden to ensure total privacy and avoids it being overlooked , all in all making our apartment ideal for outdoor living. There are two bedrooms - one double and one twin and two double sofa beds in the lounge / diner. We can sleep up to six comfortably , with an additional two children if you don't mind a bit of a squeeze as there is only the one bathroom. This has a bath, shower, bidet ,wc, bathroom cupboard and stylish mirror. It is nicely tiled from ceiling to floor and the floor is fully tiled too. There are attractive tiles throughout the apartment and we have furnished the walls with mirrors and pictures , along with neutral colours and cream curtains and bedspreads and bedside lamps in the bedrooms, giving a bright and airy atmosphere . The American kitchen Is well equipped with full oven, hob, fridge / freezer, microwave, toaster, iron and ironing board and an extensive range of crockery and utensils for guests use. A hatch and arch lead through to the lounge / diner which has an extendable dining table and four dining room chairs. There is a glass coffee table and small tv for the UK SAT 24†TV and DVD player on the side board .Wall units and shelves house various sizes of glasses, books and DVDs and a CD / Radio Cassette player which you are welcome to borrow and use during your stay . For your ultimate comfort air conditioning is fitted on a 2 euro coin meter , which provides controlled cold air and heating, and there are three free standing fans . Directly opposite the complex is an English run pub / restaurant ‘La Hispaniola Ship’ . There is also an English run internet café which can help you with just about anything , plus there is a hair and beauty salon. Slightly further along the road (towards the sea) there is an ‘Aladdins cave’ type shop well worth a visit. Along from that is a very friendly and reasonable Spanish bar / restaurant , Bar Bahia Blanca which has a pool table and sometimes live music. Next there is a supermarket which sells a wide range of goods. Within a five minute walk a new small attractive shopping centre has opened, called Torremarina with a travel agency - where you can book day trips, shops, few bars and restaurants, thus widening the choice of places you can stroll to on a warm evening. Our favourite is the Chinese 'Mandarin' restaurant which offers a 3 course menu of the day with drinks from 5.30euros each! ... ) or a quiet relaxing holiday, for family or couples you will find it all.
