Javea is situated approximately halfway between Alicante and Valencia. The old town
and the beaches of the Arenal and the Port are no more than 3 kilometres away whilst
the Javea golf course is just a few hundred metres from this lovely development of
Rafalet which houses all 3 villas. With half a dozen restaurants also within a few
hundred metres and all the facilities of the main resort of Javea.
Javea owes its appeal to both location and to its unique climate, lying as it does, at the foot of the Montgo Mountain which, rising to some 753 meters above sea level, separates Javea from the bustling town of Denia. The mountain is a national park hosting a splendid variety of vegetation and providing a magnificent panorama of Javea from its summit. Montgo also acts as a natural protection against continental winds. The climate is good throughout the year, being mild in the winter (12 degrees on average in January) and pleasantly hot in the summer (26 degrees on average in July). There are more recorded hours of sunshine in Javea than in any other place in Spain. Indeed the World Health Organization has designated Javea as one of the healthiest climates in the world. Although tourism is important in Javea it’s not of the package-holiday style. There are very few hotels (although there is a National Parador) most of the tourists preferring to stay in villas or apartments.
