Alcossebre Townhome for Rent: Awesome 3br/3ba beach house - large/all new/pool/golf/ see pics!! - Property 245493

Some history on the house: My family owned the land where the house is located but sold it about 5 years ago. Before we sold the property, there was a huge family mansion located right in the middle of the property. It believed they started building it in the mid 1800s and it was finished in the early 1890s. During the Spanish Civil war was partially destroyed but rebuilt when the war ended in 1942. The property had been in my family for generations so when it got sold 5 years ago, my mom, my two siblings and I decided to keep, each of us, a house in the community that was about to be built. We also requested to the developers to maintain the original patio (a replica of the Granada's Alhambra) and the amazing family chapel. They agreed as they understood it would give character to the community. So, if you decide to stay in my property, along with the many things you will enjoy, you will also get to see these two beautiful pieces of art right in the middle of the community. ..pretty cool, right? :-)

My love story with the porpery and town: Growing up, I used to spend 4 months out of the year in Alcossebre (the other 8 we spent in a small town called Alcala de Xivert located 10 min. away - don't miss its farmers' market on Friday morning!) and I am very attached to all my wonderful memories. After moving away to Valencia for College and later to United States, I've continued going there every summer and every time I have the change, for it's a wonderful place full of charm and fond memories. I have been living in California for the past 9 years, and I don't get to enjoy my house as much as I would like to. I go for 4 to 6 weeks in the summer and bring my 6 year-old along so he can also enjoy everything that the Spanish culture has to offer. We also only speak Spanish to each other so it's perfect! We normally stay with my mom because we don't see her very often, and I love her cooking! I wish I could spend more time there but, unfortunately, it's a bit far away. Good news is that you can enjoy it too!!

Nature (food, parks and towns in extra page): Alcossebre is the heart of the orange and fruit growing region (Costa de Azahar), which is bordered on one side by the mountains of the Serra d' Irta, and the sea on the other side. Here the sea and the mountains come together to form contrasting landscapes. Along its ten kilometers of coastline there are five high quality beaches. They are all very clean and well kept, and the best one of all is only a 2 minute walk from the house! These Mediterranean waters are ideal for water sports such as sailing, fishing and scuba diving. Alcossebre is also a good base from which to explore the Columbretes Islands Nature Reserve. Many different routes and footpaths run through the Sierra de Irta Mountains, Alcossebre's great nature area. Other interesting places are the L’Estany wetlands and the dunes to be found between El Carregador and La Romana beaches. Also, those that enjoy wildlife the Ebro Delta is less than an hour away, where you can take river and sea trips for fishining.
