Oliva

Fancy a project?

Much of the hardest work has been done, but it will still be a job for someone with time on their hands and hands that are reasonably capable of turning to most jobs.

At the end of your efforts you will be rewarded with a two bedroom house with plenty of outside space; even a garden.

The stairs are good for your legs, so no whingeing about the lack of lift!

Oliva

¡Que buena vista!

There are fabulous views to enjoy from this top floor apartment in the heart of Oliva.

Take the lift up to the ninth floor and spoil yourself.

Traditional spacious Spanish flat, not to be confused with those one might see in the UK (nor is the view). This apartment has four bedrooms so there's plenty of space for guests to come and holiday with you or perhaps you just have a larger family.

Bellreguard

If it were as wide as it is charming (qualities that are difficult to compare) it would need a lot more space in the street.

As it is it's certainly more Swiss charm school than Del Boy's market stall.

Would make a fine "pied à terre" for someone looking for an economical yet very charming holiday home.

The location is also quite quaint within a semi-pedestrianised street with virtually no passing traffic very close to the hub of the village, the Church Square, where one can "hang out", not literally of course, with the locals.

Two bedrooms and a terrace on the upper floor, whilst the ground floor accommodates the lounge, kitchen and shower room.

¡ Yabadabadoo !

In the words of my good friend Fred Flintstone.

It's a bit like Eureka, but not quite as pretentious and it probably doesn't really mean "I've found it" either. A word almost certainly not used by Archimedes, well not the ancient Greek one at least.

Well now that you've found it do something with it. That something involves pulling your finger out and dialling (0034) 96 285 2020. There you will find a lovely fellow who will be delighted to arrange a visit to your next purchase.

It's a really nice modern two bedroom apartment with plenty of space at a price which is totally unwarranted. It actually warrants a higher price, but we're not quibbling.

Oliva

Now is the time to dip your toe in.

You've been waiting for the right opportunity and here it is! I may make the owners blush by saying it's one of the nicest apartments I've seen and by far the nicest at the price at which it's being offered. You should come and see it now before they change their minds.

I'm sure you will look through the photos and think it looks pretty good, but it's better than that and you can buy it as is with pretty much everything you could ever expect in a home and all of it well looked after.

At present there are three bedrooms set up, but the apartment was originally designed as a four bed with the master bedroom coming off the lounge; now a dining room.

It's up on the top floor, so no worries about noisy neighbours and you get to enjoy the sea breeze in summer. You can see the sea from the balcony too.

Oliva

They say it's the most photographed road in Oliva. Personally I think they may be mistaken, but it is rather pretty and if the photo is intended to be of the road rather than a person then it probably wins the accolade.

This rather charming fellow lives up on that road smack bang in the middle of the historic old town, but it still manages to have a proper garden with green bits and everything. The house manages to maintain much of its original charm too with exposed stone walls and old tree trunk roof beams.

There are two bedrooms (three if you count the dining room)  and two bathrooms plus a first floor terrace and a fabulous garden.

Nice curtains!

Everyone loves a bargain or so they say. So here's a two for one deal that you shouldn't miss and it's not where you pay for two and get one, quite the reverse. You get the choice to buy a two bedroom flat in need of reform and get a nice four bedroom one free or, if you prefer, you can buy the four bedroom one and get the two bed one thrown in. Sadly the price is the same either way round, but the good news is the price is eminently reasonable, even more so following the recent reduction.

Did you know that some people actually read the drivel I write? Nobody takes any notice of course, but then you're not a nobody are you?

Economical two bedroom village home in the historic section of Oliva town in need of a little sprucing up, but basically paint etc. Fully habitable as is.

Piles

A Plush Pad at a Paltry Price

You may need to walk up a few stairs, but they're pretty easy ones (and I don't say that lightly) and it's worth it.

The apartment is really lovely. Once a three bed, it has been modified by the current owners to make a great two bed flat with a separate dining room. Easy to return if you wish, but very functional as is. Light and bright and without a worry in the world. There's a decent sized balcony to sit out on, but if that's not enough you can just pop up to the roof terrace above and enjoy great views all around.

In very good condition throughout, it's one that shouldn't be missed by you or you or even you. That should cover all our current browsers, but in case it doesn't that'd be you too.

Oliva

Three bedroom one bathroom village home in need of a little modernisation, originally at a price to scare potential clients away, but realism has kicked in and some common sense restored to make this potentially a good investment.

Oliva

The perfect place to watch the world go by
and wonder if the Hokey Cokey could really be what it's all about.

The roof terrace has some of the best views Oliva has to offer stretching for miles (or should that be kilometres) along the beautiful Mediterranean coastline. You can also marvel at the townscape, the orange groves and the mountains so never a dull moment.

The house has been renovated top to toe, so to speak, with new windows, doors, floors, electrical system etc. and is ready to move in. It even has a large satellite dish fitted to get UK TV programs or whichever other satellite feed takes your fancy.

The keener eyed of you will spot within the photos the disappearing cable in front of the house. This is because it is in the process of being relocated so we thought you might want to see what the house will look like when it's gone.

Oliva Beach

Two bedroom one bathroom ground floor apartment set in the centre of Oliva Beach, around a 250m from the beach.

Externally there is a spacious patio with an awning to provide additional shade in the summer.

Fully renovated including new kitchen and bathroom and to be sold furnished and ready to move in or let.

Off-Street Parking. Very handy in Summer!

Super first floor flat with four bedrooms and one bathroom, all in very good condition and with low running costs.

Located in a a good area to the southern part of the town with an easy flat walk to supermarkets etc. There's a little one close by and a major one just a few paces more.

The chance to own a lovely apartment with room to move (Spanish apartments can be quite surprising in their size and are quite unlike the English equivalents) This one's in the region of 120m2 which is larger than your average three bed semi in the UK which tend to be around 110m2 with a big bit of that taken up by the stairs.

You'd be amazed how spacious a two bedroom flat can be. Well I was anyway and I've seen a fair few over the years.

Something for the weekend, sir?

If you've always fancied yourself as a budding Vidal or perhaps one of the Mascolo brothers (sounds more like the Mafia than Toni & Guy), now's your chance to start a new business in Oliva with this excellent property currently set up as a hairdresser's.

The "local" or business premises is in a central location and measures around 48 sq metres with toilet and shower room facilities.

Benicolet

Just the little place you've been looking for!

A hideaway in beautiful countryside close enough to the village to walk in, but far enough away not to be woken by the refuse collectors.

The house measures some 60 m2 on one floor and has two bedrooms, one bathroom and a small lounge with a large open plan kitchen. the plot is quite extensive at around 2,000 m2 and comprises mainly olive grove. The area around the house is fenced off though so you can choose how much or how little you wish to enjoy.

Mains electricity is connected and water is supplied from a well.

Oliva

Spacious third floor flat in a good location in the lower part of the town.

"A Positive Pleasure to Behold"

Through the wonders of modern science and the Internet, a marvel that we all now take for granted, we can bring you a fantastic flat at an even more fantastic price.

Fantastic can mean fanciful and unrealistic, but in this case I prefer to think of it in its more normal context as just being plain brilliant.

The flat is on the first floor which has a major advantage in that it has the private use of a very spacious terrace. I used to have a first floor apartment and I have to say it was great. We had a big awning that came out to cover part of the terrace and it was a fabulous place to sit out at any time and particularly to enjoy the cool of the evening.

This is a very spacious two bed apartment as it was initially a three bed with one of the bedrooms now being converted for use as a dining area It's centrally located so really easy to get to the shops, bars and restaurants etc. if you fancy the beach, it's about 10 minutes away in the car. You can keep all your beach gear in the private storeroom and the car will be easy to find in your own garage space. It's just another way of saying the property benefits from a store room and private garage space.

Oliva

Light Bright & Breezy

I talk, of course, of the fabulous sea breeze you will doubtless experience pretty much every summer's day, starting just around lunchtime and always welcome (when it's not hot you don't get it).

Great holiday home for a couple and perhaps a couple of guests too. There's only one bedroom so depending how good a friend(s) you've invited you may wish to make use of the spacious lounge and a sofa bed or not!

Now's the time to jump in and snap up a bargain!

This is a great three bedroom village home in the upper part of the town which has been renovated over recent years, but maintains much of the original charm and features.

The distribution evolves around a central indoor patio with exposed stone walls behind which one can find a cute "snug" with wood burning stove; fabulous for winter evenings and great to keep cool in summer.

A cute house with great potential.

Lady Luck has smiled on you once again, I feel.

It's not everyone who stumbles upon a fantastic house a great price in a good area when all they were looking for was the bargain of a lifetime, you know.

There are cheaper properties, there are better properties, but perhaps there aren't any cheaper and better properties or at least they aren't easy to stumble across and not everyone has the luxury of a guardian angel helping them along.

Today we can be your guardian angels and help you all the way to realising your dream of owning a fabulous home in a lovely Mediterranean village.

"Splendiferous"

No, really; it is.

It's well located, well finished, well priced.

That's all the wells you need to complete the well known phrase.  **** **** ****, what's going on 'ere then? You have to do it wearing a funny hat (that Robert Peel had a lot to answer for) and with a dodgy accent and it looks and sounds great.

Throw in a bit of air conditioning (it's already thrown in actually), a lovely kitchen and a spacious lounge and you have the right ingredients to perfect your three bedroom flat and all within a few paces of our office which means it's close to everything. - Hooray or the slightly posher hurrah!

"Casa Queso"

That's the Cheese house; for its shape not its smell!

Oliva

The views, oh the views!

Sufficiently dramatic I think. Actually the views are quite dramatic; it's just that my photos don't do them justice. All right, I'll go back and take some better ones then!

The apartment gives all it promises, spacious accommodation in the centre of town at a very competitive price with a parking space included. There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms and it's as big as two typical two bed apartments in the UK.

We can call this a quiet "cul-de-sac", but if the French did the same it wouldn't sound so nice as you may not want to live at the bottom of a bag. Fortune has it that my mother tongue is English and so using a little French to describe the location give us a cosmopolitan feel. (Don't blame me; you're the one reading this!)

The house is at the end of a little mews and it paints a pretty picture with an airy feel and lovely arches. they're very soothing you know. There's plenty of space to fit in the three bedrooms, the bathroom and the separate cloakroom whilst leaving ample extra for the lounge kitchen, storeroom and both terraces.

Oliva Beach

3.2.1

3 bedrooms 2 terraces 1 lucky owner
(I was going to say 1 bathroom, but decided against it!)

Very nicely situated ground floor apartment in the heart of Oliva Beach, one of the best beaches in the area for pretty much everything except crazy nightlife.

If you're into crazy nightlife where you're not supposed to go out until 3 in the morning you need to go to Gandia Beach. If you want somewhere a little more family oriented (older teenagers excepted) and the opportunity to wander down to a beach that's not over crowded and where you can still get a table at a good value restaurant then Oliva Beach may be the type of place you're looking for.

Come and see.

Oliva Beach

This is the size a terrace should be. Just right for a dining table a few chairs and with some space for sun bathing.

It's a great beach apartment for up to maybe six people, but ideal for four with two bedrooms and two bathrooms and a short walk to the sand if you're that way inclined.

Oliva Beach

An excellent investment for the future which you get to enjoy now. Isn't that what we all want?

This is a good sized three bedroom apartment close to the beach in a popular part of the really rather splendid Oliva beach area.

It is very serviceable as is, but would see benefit from a little modernisation perhaps.

Oliva Beach

Fancy a new business in Oliva down by the beach, then the very chap is staring you in the face. An attractive commercial premises with a great terrace ahead of it in a highly visible spot only a couple of hundred metres from the beach.

A quick sweep up and it's just about ready for business. Internally divided into a main reception, small shower room and back office. In total measuring around 50m2 plus the terrace

Oliva

Sometimes one instinctively knows there's something wrong with a place and in this case if you look carefully at the side of the fridge you'll see that a couple of the notes are not quite straight and there's a miniature bottle of wine seemingly floating about with no purpose. I, of course, have the advantage of a slightly larger photo, but all the same, if those are the only faults, the apartment must be worth a second glance.

If you were a compulsive hoarder this may be just the chap for you too as there's a very large store room come garage below which is for the sole private use of the apartment and it may just get you out of a tight spot if you're in desperate need of a place to park. Actually it's in a part of the town where parking isn't too bad, but the security of your own space is always comforting.

The property is on the ground floor in a building of only three apartments and it doesn't have a lift which means the running costs are laughably, almost derisorily low.

Piles Beach

"Oh what a beautiful morning,
Oh what a beautiful day,
I've got a wonderful feeling,
Everything's going my way."

Maybe today is that special day that you found your new holiday home on a gorgeous Mediterranean Beach where the sun shines every day of the year. Actually it does where you are too, you just don't always get to appreciate it due to the clouds that prevail.

Piles is a lovely tranquil beach, typically Spanish, but catering fro all nationalities. it is generally frequented by the less boisterous visitors and offers a comfortable stay at any time of year. This apartment is on the first floor and benefits from catching the afternoon sun both summer and winter on the covered terrace. In the summer the terrace gives shade from the sun and in winter when it is a little lower in the sky you can feel the full benefit.

The apartment is nicely laid out with one good sized bedroom, a separate kitchen, bathroom and lounge. The lounge has a feature corner fireplace which is lovely to enjoy in the winter so the property can really be used the full year round.

Oliva Beach

Cute and cuddly, but you'll need big arms for the cuddly bit.

Nice 2 bedroom ground floor apartment from which you could run to the beach in less than 10 seconds, apparently. I say you as it's pretty certain I couldn't, but it's less than 100m and there are people who can do that. I just have to hope your surname is Bolt!

Oliva

Pleasingly Posh?

Nah, probably not, well, not at the moment anyway, but a decent house all the same. In need of a little, shall we say, modernisation. In the right hands a possible jewel.

Great location with easy(ish) parking and a short walk to the town centre.

YABADABADOO or was it EUREKA.

Well, either Fred or Archimedes would have been equally elated to have found this brand new apartment and he would have rushed off to tell his wife.
(Why are you still there? Go and tell her then!)

Two good sized bedrooms, a lovely kitchen and bathroom and overlooking a tree fringed square. Doesn't sound too bad does it? That's because it's not!

Not only is the flat lovely, the included garage space is too, although not quite as comfortable and the view's not as nice.

Palomar

A lovely village situated about 25 miles inland and some 30 minutes from Gandia with excellent access and a swift trip to either Alicante or Valencia airports each around an hour's drive, maybe a little less to Valencia.

The villa is a comfortable two bedroom design and is on a plot of around 3,750 square metres. The plot is basically flat, but on two levels.

Internally the house has a lovely L shaped lounge diner with open plan kitchen, two bedrooms, one a good sized double and the other a decent single or small double.

The house currently runs on a generator, but is ideally suited to a solar power system to give you free electricity. Substantial grants may be available to assist with the costs. Water is connected with both irrigation and mains services.

Ontinyent

Cute one bedroom casita in a plot of around 3,300 square metres.

Externally there's a swimming pool (above ground) and a storeroom.

Smart nearly new flat in the lower part of Oliva with an easy flat walk to all amenities.

Three bedrooms two bathrooms.

You're going to need a stripper!

Now we have your husband's attention you can direct him to the wallpaper. It just has to go!

Apart from that it's a pretty decent house in a flat part of the town so no hills to negotiate when returning home drunk, sorry I mean when exhausted from laying on the beach all day and you can walk to the shops with impunity.

Once home you'll find a comfortable four bedroom two bathroom village home in need of a stripper. Once the decoration faux pas is rectified, just enjoy.

Miramar

It's not on the front line, but a toxophilist would have the tools to plant one on the beach and as the beach is generally uncrowded, probably wouldn't hit anyone.

The apartment is in good condition, although it is afflicted with some marginally questionable decor for its age. Premature maybe the right description. it would make a great two bed beach holiday home. ideal for families and couples alike. maybe you should start a family!

Oliva

First floor flat in a great location if you wish to be close to everything that happens in Oliva yet not on the main road.

The property has been well looked after and modernised and retains a light airy feel.  As well as the main bathroom there is also a separate cloakroom.

Look through the pictures and play "Spot the Cat(s)". If you find three you're doing better than us or looking at the wrong pictures!

Oliva

A splendiferous two bedroom maisonette some 10 minutes outside of Oliva; how does that tickle your fancy?

If it has been handsomely tickled then read on; if not you may as well look at the photos anyway as you've come this far.

Still with me eh?

So you might need a paint brush, but they're not too difficult to handle and once you've painted you might want to try your hand at tiling (the bathroom and kitchen would benefit from  a little modernisation, but are quite serviceable. If you can do both you can make a very nice two bedroom apartment with plenty of outside space, a covered terrace, a semi open terrace (the dappled shade of the grape vine in summer!) and an open patio/garden area, all with nice country views.

Is it the best part of Oliva? I don't know; can a million lemmings be wrong?

The answers to these questions and more can be found within one of the smaller words beginning with "Y"

You may have to travel some distance to find a better one, that's not to say they don't exist just that they seem to show their faces in Oliva (correct at the time of writing (about 8:00 in the evening) so as not to upset other vendors) Anyway I hope you understand what I'm trying to say albeit in a hopelessly lost and roundabout way.

Cute two bedroom ground floor apartment within very easy reach of the beautiful beach that adorns the Mediterranean coastline along the municipality of Oliva.

Interesting use of tiles for decoration, spreading Marmite on the walls may well result in the same dichotomy of opinions.

Oliva Beach

Cute one bedroom apartment conveniently located between the Beach area and the town to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Oliva

Why do the Spanish live in apartments?

Because they're really nice and very convenient. You can forget the rabbit hutches that pass for apartments in the UK and much of northern Europe and start to think about a comfortable living space as big as a typical three bed semi.

With this in mind you can appreciate that living or holidaying in a Spanish town can have a comfortable alternative which is a great apartment. The next step is to consider a first floor apartment where understanding the typical design will allow you to appreciate the benefits derived. The primary of those is the patio; proper outside space that you can walk out onto directly from your kitchen for example.

Underground parking is another benefit. Your car is always cool and dry and you don't have to think about driving round and round to find a suitable spot.

La Font D'en Carros

Attractive four bedroom village home in the ever popular village of La Font some 4 km from Oliva and 10 minutes drive to the beach etc.

Oliva

All you could want and more!

This, of course, goes on the premise that I know what you want, but you'll just have to believe me; I am an estate agent after all!

I'm guessing that you want a nice three bedroom two bathroom traditional village home in decent condition in a good area at a price that can only be considered to be attractive. You'd like some outside space on the ground floor and you'd like the possibility of improving the house in the future so that it can also represent a great investment.

So all of the above is already there plus (that's the "more" bit) one of the bedrooms and one of the bathrooms is (maybe the "is" should be "are", my English escapes me) on the ground floor, great for guests, the less mobile or just for summer use when the lower floor is cooler. the house doesn't just have outside space on the ground floor it also has a first floor terrace and a fabulous roof terrace with panoramic views.

Oliva Beach

Three bedroom casita in the beach area of Oliva. in need of a little smartening up, a bit of gardening and someone who will love and cherish it. A bit like a stray puppy if you forget the gardening bit. This place could be so nice!

The casita is located between the town and the beach; about halfway, so you can walk to either unless you're like me and then you'll take the car. When you get home there's plenty of space for parking and the plot is fenced and gated.

If you overheat there's a pool to help out and you'll be grateful for Spain's beautiful weather as the house runs on solar energy so will keep your bills very low. Even the water is free as it comes directly from the ground. It's not for drinking, but it's plentiful and good for pretty much everything else.

How about a "castle in your back room"

Oliva

What do most people look for in a village home. Well, of course, it varies, but character is a common request as is charm and a quiet location and perhaps most common, outside space. This one has all and more. It's been renovated from tip to toe, both tastefully and sympathetically and really has a comfortable feel. The road is one where few cars pass and there's a terrace with superb views

Everyone knows the phrase "An Englishman's home is his castle", but in this case it could just be that the Castle is his home. This property is a real piece of Spanish history with a fabulous section of the old stone wall which formed part of the walls of the Palace many years ago. Sadly my history is woefully insufficient to say how long ago, but sure as hell it was built to last.

I was thinking of writing something silly, but history got the better of me and has turned me all sensible all of a sudden. You now need to do the sensible thing and contact us to arrange a visit. You won't be disappointed; if you are I'll buy you a coffee, but I think my money's safe and the coffee's on you!

The house was originally three bedrooms, but one has been removed to make a really lovely landing area and allow all who pass to admire the stone work. The plan has left two very comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, whilst below there's the lounge and a very spacious kitchen diner with access out to a small patio which lets in lots of light and gives access to the "throne room". I can now bet that anyone who is not a native English speaker is wondering what the hell I'm on about, but you know don't you?

An attractive corner property which has been renovated in a style sympathetic to its origins with beamed ceilings and exposed stonework to complement the rustic tiling etc.

Piles

Excellent value large village home in need of a little tlc to make a fabulous family residence or comfortable holiday home where you can enjoy the Spanish values of family and friends. There's acres of space to fit the enormous dining table that you inherited and that doesn't fit in your current dining room.

Potentially a stunning property and not that much work to do. A lot of the hard work has been done including roof replacement where warranted.

A little vision, a little graft and a little money y "voila" as they don't say too often in these parts.

Time to get your trunks out; those are really massive palm trees fringing the pool. OK so they're Bonsai palms and the pool is not quite apt for the Olympics, but you weren't going to swim anyway; all you wanted was somewhere to cool off and enjoy a chilled glass of something wet.

A rarity in Oliva and I imagine many other towns too, this three bed house has a fabulous rear patio with a good sized plunge pool and plenty of space to exploit the outside life.

The house stretches from one street to the next so no neighbours behind you and it's in an area where parking is rarely a problem.
