Property of the week: a stunning villa in Alicante

Spain is a country blessed with an incredibly long coastline, and with huge diversity in its coastal regions, which is part of why so many people want to move to the Spanish coast. And while places like Marbella, or the Balearic Islands might be the superstars, there are plenty of beautiful regions where you could live beyond them. One of the most popular is Alicante, and it's not hard to see why: with a booming tourist industry, Alicante has every possible amenity you could need, plus its world famous stretches of pristine sandy beaches, beautiful Mediterranean waters, and gorgeous climate. The only other thing you would need to enjoy this corner of Spain is the perfect home to live in, something like this stunning villa in Vistahermosa. Close to the sea, close to the centre, and with tons of space, it's the perfect property to start your life in Alicante. 

The villa is built over three levels, but as it is built on a terraced plot of land, both the ground and first floors have direct access to the gardens outside. In total the villa offers some 574m2 of built area, itself nothing to be sneezed at, but the plot of land it is built on, measuring a whopping 1,400m2, can make even this spacious home look small by comparison. The villa itself has five large bedrooms (one of which is fitted out as an office/study) and five bathrooms, plenty of room for a family life by the sea, and the beautiful gardens and pool outside give you even more spaces to relax in the privacy of your home.

As you enter the property on the ground floor you will be greeted by a long entrance hall. To the left at the entrance is the villa's spacious kitchen. Stylish, modern and fully equipped, the space is a home-cook's dream, with a large island in the centre of the room, a table to eat at, and one of the walls made up of windows from the floor to the ceiling with views out to the terrace. Opposite the kitchen you will find the enormous living room also with the entire front wall made of glass to fill the space with natural light and provide you with views of the gardens and pool. Comfortably furnished and subtly divided between a living and a dining area, this room is the perfect place to sit and relax as a family, or even to host guests. Also on this floor there is a guest bathroom, and on an intermediate floor accessed by the property's lift, there is the office, the perfect place to isolate yourself and get some work done if you are working remotely. 

Upstairs you will find three of the property's spacious bedrooms. Each one comes with its own dressing room and en suite bathroom, meaning that each member of your family will have complete comfort and privacy with everything they need in their own room. The 3 bedrooms are surrounded by a large terrace that loops around the back of the villa where you can enjoy the beautiful views at the highest point of the property. Meanwhile on the lower floor there is a sizeable bedroom, again with its own closet, a complete bathroom, and a gorgeous second living room that is currently fitted out as a games room, complete with a beautiful bar area. On this floor you will also find a separate storage room, laundry area, and a garage that can fit up to four cars! Outside you will find a large pool with outdoor seating, a barbecue area, and several seating areas around the terraces and gardens to allow you to relax in the sun, or the shade. 

This villa is an amazing opportunity to snap up an enormous family home in one of the most popular corners of Spain. It really is the perfect place to start your new life in Alicante, so check it out. The villa is currently for sale on idealista for 990,000 euros.
