Urbanization Buenavista is one of the original Costa Blanca urbanizations located half way between Calpe and Moraira and with easy access to the coast road. Many of the villas have beautiful mature gardens with palm and acacia trees and private pool terraces. Most of them also have traditional wood burning fireplaces and plots of 800m2 plus. The new style is to remove the wrought ironwork on balconies and terraces and replace it with balustrades. enlarge

Another view of Urbanization Buenavista showing a typical villa on a steeper plot with natural stone terracing. The original villas also have this natural stone walling running along their street frontage. Outside steps lead to a rooftop solarium and from here and the main covered terrace you have wonderful panoramic views of the Mediterranean.

The V.A.P.F. company of Benissa built most of the properties here along with many of the first Calpe villas. The often have an underbuild which can serve as a useful store room or if it is high enough it may be worth excavating to make a complete extra room.

Most of these villas have undergone some form of renovation with the most usual being new kitchens, bathrooms and flooring but occasionaly also new carpentry and double glazed windows. A good idea is to fit a cassette type wood burning stove with a fan in the open chimney that most of them have. It can heat the whole house far better than the original arrangement and if far more economical with fire wood. enlarge

Urbanization Montemar dates from the same time as Urbanization Buenavista and also occupies a fine sunny hilltop position with excellent Mediterranean views. Pine trees provide shade and most of the villas have already been renovated and have added swimming pools. The turning to Montemar is at the Viñasol restaurant and supermarket on the Calpe - Moraira road (about half way) and it leads past the urbanization and eventually on to Benissa town. enlarge

Probably the best way to renovate an older property is to contract a recommended builder to do the whole job including the specialized work like plumbing and electricity. This is far less hassle than trying to coordinate the work with individual tradesmen and will save money in the end. Of course, if you can do it youself that's even better. enlarge

Urbanization Baladrar is close to the San Jaime Golf Club and is located around a bamboo filled valley that reaches down to the sea. Villas here are a mixture of different styles with a good deal of new construction in progress.

The Montemar Hotel and the Tartaña restaurant is located here and is popular spot with German visitors. enlarge
