DENIA
Costa Blanca Villas and Apartments
Villas for rent and apartments for rent in Denia on Spain's Costa Blanca including Pedreguer and Monte Solana. Denia has fantastic first line villas for rent, plus apartments and penthouses to let close to the town centre, and wonderful country houses in the mountains.
There are also two prestigious golf courses in easy reach - the La Sella and Oliva Nova Golf Courses. Both golf courses have a selection of rental properties with private and communal facilities.
Denia, a large cosmopolitan town at the northern tip of
the Costa Blanca coast, is separated from Javea to the south by
the spectacular Montgo mountain, said to resemble a sleeping elephant.
Being a working town, Denia has a genuine Spanish feel to it, quite
unlike many other coastal towns which were once fishing villages. At its
historic centre is the 16th century castle, set high on a hill, and with spectacular views.
The commercial centre is nearby around Calle Marques de Campos. Here, the streets have shady plane trees, cafes and
designer shops, and at night throughout the year Denia buzzes with
nightlife with hundreds of bars, live entertainment and restaurants,
many of which are right on the sea front. Denia has real charm and
atmosphere. The large, busy port and marina is well worth a visit, and
from here you can get a ferry to Ibiza and the other Balearic islands.
Denia has a 20-kilometre coast, made up of small pretty coves.
The beaches are wide, lined with brightly coloured restaurants and bars,
and excellent for water sports such as windsurfing. Every year they are
awarded the European Blue Flag for their water quality and clean fine
sand. To the north are the fine sandy beaches of Les Marines and Les Bovetes and the shingle beaches of Les Deveses and L' Almadrava which
are craggy and rocky, and to the south is the rocky area of Les Rotes
with its spectacular coves of transparent waters, ideal for diving or
snorkelling.
The sun is said to shine here 320 days a year, and the temperature is
always mild, averaging 18º C. There is plenty to do, the Montgo is ideal
for mountain walking, the surrounding hills have caves popular with pot-holers
and there are two high quality golf courses at La Sella and Oliva Nova.
The area has a long history dating back to the Romans who used it as
an important base en route to North Africa. During the 5th century the
cathedrals dedicated to western gods were removed and around 100 years
later the Moors seized the town. It took until the 11th century for the
town be returned to Spanish control. The area experienced great economic
growth in the middle of the 19th century, processing raisins, but when
this was no longer profitable, the town turned to tourism, which is
still its primary source of revenue.
