Description
2 Bedrooms 2 full bathrooms 1 full en suite sleeps max 5 - i.e. 4 adults plus a baby of cot age.
Villa ALICIA is a very SECLUDED extremely SPACIOUS DETACHED MODERN villa which has been tastefully furnished to a design concept which radiates quality whilst maintaining a modern and contemporary look.
It is exceptionally WELL EQUIPPED and offers all the comforts of home and MUCH MORE.
It is set in a small private gated UP MARKET development in PLAYA BLANCA which benefits from having a CCTV SECURITY SYSTEM which is in operation on the entrance gate and throughout the development 24 HOURS A DAY.
Villa Alicia sits on the lower slopes of Montana Roja (extinct volcano !) and is only a 15/25 min walk to the the safe beach of PLAYA FLAMINGO and the village of PLAYA BLANCA respectively.
DISTINCTIVE FEATURES INCLUDE : -
PRIVACY and SECLUSION
The villa is very PRIVATE in that it is NOT OVERLOOKED in relation to the EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE attractive sub tropical garden, pool and terrace areas which are surrounded by HIGH VOLCANIC WALLS.
This creates a TRANQUIL OASIS which is both SAFE and QUIET for adults and children alike - allowing everyone to enjoy a holiday which is relaxing and peaceful .
The villa is fortunate in being positioned at a HIGHER level than the villas below which contributes to its SECLUSION and PRIVACY. Additionally it is favourably positioned being in the middle of the small development of Villas Blancas and thus does NOT back onto or front onto any MAIN ROAD. The QUIET one way road at the front of the villa is an internal access road for the Villas Blancas development ONLY.
ACCOMMODATION
Villa Alicia has extremely SPACIOUS BRIGHT and AIRY accommodation throughout which includes - two LARGE bedrooms (both have built in wardrobes) - one with a FULL EN SUITE bathroom along with a SECOND FULL main bathroom (both bathrooms have WINDOWS) , a roomy lounge and a VERY LARGE self contained OPEN PLAN kitchen/ dining area leading out to a SEPARATE LARGE TERRACE with BBQ which is ideal for al fresco eating.
All the rooms in the villa are ON ONE LEVEL and have patio doors with LOCKABLE EXTERNAL SHUTTERS to both bedrooms - these shutters have built in MOSQUITO screens.
This gives the SECURITY of being able to leave the internal sliding doors in both bedrooms OPEN to allow the CANARIAN BREEZES into the bedrooms at night if needed.
The villa wraps itself around the spacious terrace/pool areas and ALL OF THE ROOMS throughout the villa have sliding LOCKABLE PATIO DOORS taking you strait out to the spacious terraces x 2 plus pool and garden areas.
