A stunningly crafted property exuding elegance and charm, Casa Pio Baroja will certainly not disappoint. Tucked away in the prestigious and tranquil neighbourhood of La Lluca, Casa Pio Baroja gives promise of a wonderfully indulgent stay for a family or group of friends. 

This roomy retreat delivers the perfect balance of comfort, seclusion and holiday vibe, what’s more with Xabia's popular beaches, selection of elegant and casual dining coupled with chillout bars and ice cream parlours all within a 10 minute drive, it caters for all ages, passions and holiday agendas. 

The open-plan layout and bright décor combine to create a light and airy feel, while the furnishings are a stylish but unfussy blend of contemporary and traditional – from stone archways, beamed ceilings and ceramic tiles to the chunky wood dining table and cosy chillout corners. Attention to detail is the key, with mosquito nets at all bedroom windows, king size beds with fluffy pillows, modern stylish bathrooms and even three places to choose from to commandeer the TV remote control - in fact more than sufficient space for everyone to revel in.

The large country kitchen and open-plan living/dining area are at the heart of the house, but this is a home that also lends itself superbly to outdoor living, from the generously sized pool (which can be heated in cooler months) to the handy summer kitchen and barbecue where grilling a handful of juicy steaks or perhaps 'catch of the day' becomes as much fun as sipping an aperitif in anticipation of the relaxed together meal poolside.  Meanwhile, the first floor can be totally self sufficient from downstairs if so desired, with two double bedrooms, a shower room and it's own fully equipped kitchen and living area.

Vibrant, atmospheric Xabia is one of the most eminent towns in the area, where a jam packed cultural agenda keeps even the most distracted minds engaged with exuberant local fiestas, the hustle and bustle of the weekly market and easy access to neighbouring towns such as Moraira and Denia, provides opportunities to enjoy the colour and diversity of local life at each port of call along the coastline. 

In short, Pio Baroja allows time away from the crowds to rest, relax and regenerate – the most taxing problem here is deciding whether to go out or stay in!

Great Things to Do Near Casa Pío Baroja

Castles

The shady ramparts of Denia Castle enjoy magnificent views of the harbour and the intricate labyrinth of narrow streets belonging to its old town below. A moderate climb will take you to the top of this historic landmark with panoramic views of the town and coastline. Inland, nestled in the neighbouring Sierra Aitana Mountains, the inspiring Castle of Guadalest is affectionately called the ‘Eagles’ Nest’, prompted by the way it is perched on the peak of a rocky pinnacle. There are still some residents living in the centre of this Moorish village, making their living by selling handmade lace, almond and honey products to visitors who pause to enjoy the far-reaching mountain views.

Explore the Jalon Valley

The Jalon Valley, also known then as the Vall de Pop, is a walker's paradise. Discover the many hiking routes that link the 8 villages of the Jalon Valley together. Offering some of the best scenery in Spain, there are magnificent mountains which surround the plains of olive trees , vineyards, almond blossom to explore and when it’s time for a rest, stop in one of the local cafes or restaurants in the surrounding villages of the Valley.
 

Caves

Cueva Del Rull in Vall d'Ebo and Cueva de Las Calaveras in Benidoleig are both prime examples of the typical rock formations that hug the coastline, creating the ‘microclimate’ that this part of the peninsula is so famous for. These caves are close to hand and definitely worth a visit, as well as a perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day, with parking provided and a small entrance fee. Xàbia’s coastline has more clandestine caves, such as Cueva del Llop Marí and Cova Tallada, which are only accessible by kayak, making the journey getting there as much fun as exploring the caves.

Local Markets

This stretch of the Valencian coastline boasts a vibrant local market somewhere, every day of the week. By far, one of the most popular is the ‘Rastro’ in Jalon on a Saturday morning, where locals from surrounding villages congregate along the river bank, to sell local products such as honey, olive oil, sweet almond pastries and crispy ‘Churros’ (a doughnut mixture) to dip in thick, rich chocolate. Leather handbags, beach dresses and lace tablecloths sway in the breeze, intermingled between stands laden with hand-crafted wooden figurines, colourful ceramic dishes and an endless array of shoes. The hum of traders chanting today’s special offer, a solitary guitar strumming in the distance and the chance to barter for a bargain whilst buying a week's supply of fresh fruit and veg makes for a fun morning, mingling with the locals. Other markets of note take place in Xabia (Thursday) Dénia (Monday) and Moraira (Friday). Market times are 0930h – 1400h

Local Boat Trips

Motorised boats provide a link between the ports of Altea, Calpe, Xàbia and Dénia on a regular basis during the summer months. A great way to view the rugged coastline from a fun point of view. Glass bottom boats chug out to coral reefs to take a peak and admire the marine life just offshore and Catamaran Sunset Cruises are very popular, setting sail late afternoon from the same ports.

Visiting the Old Quarters

Each resort has lovingly preserved its original old quarters (El Casco Antiguo), comprising of a maze of narrow cobbled streets, terraced houses with Juliet balconies, archways and alcoves and shady plazas, with a cocktail of absorbing aromas emanating from the occasional bar or restaurant located on the ground floor of someone’s house. No two 'Casco Antiguos' are the same, but are always perched on a hill, harking back to the constant fear of attack by Pirates and the Moors endeavouring to conquer the land. These characterful pockets of history are resilient to any changes that may take place in the surrounding area, promising a delightful ambience for evening dining. The old quarters of: Altea, Calpe, Xabia and Dénia prove to be the most popular haunts to head for, with elegant dining as well as less formal Bistros and Pizzerias.

Theme Parks

The Costa Blanca has its fair share of theme parks and water parks, and for all the thrills and screams of white-knuckle rides one only need drive 40 minutes to reach a cluster of waterslides, wave pools, safari parks, dolphin shows, life-size robotic dinosaurs and a world of mythical lands. A little more demurely, the City of Arts and Science is a vast complex on the outskirts of Valencia, incorporating an interactive Science Museum ('El Museo') for hands-on educational fun for all ages, 'L’Hemisferic', a magnificent planetarium with IMAX cinema screen in a building the shape of an eye, and 'L’Oceanografic', the largest aquarium of its kind in Europe, built in the form of a water lily, with separate areas depicting different aquatic environments: the Mediterranean, Tropical seas, the Red Sea, Antarctic and Arctic.
