Our Spanish Villa

March 21st, 2006

Our place in Spain has now been rented out for about six months. Sorry, if you were interested in renting it, we will be looking for more people again around August.

We were going to move to Spain (Costa Calida) 3 years ago to live but when we bought our place and spent the first summer there, we discovered that the pace of business and with it the service was far too slow. We still have the villa but have used it only for personal holiday use. We are currently living in New Zealand and cant get back to Spain for at least a year now, so we have decided to let the place out.

When we bought the place, we flew to Alicante Airport, hired a car, and drove to Le Manga because that was the only hotel that I could find on the internet at the time with available Accommodation. We have since bought our own car, which lives at the airport while we are not there and we no longer fly to Alicante airport. We now fly to San Javier airport in Murcia and then hop in our car and drive to our little spot in the sun.

At the moment the place is a bit of a mess because they are building a great big hotel on the land behind us. We were told when we bought in Spain that there would be no building on the vacant land because it belonged to the Navy. Ha ha, three years down the track and we are living with building noise, trucks driving back and forth and loads of dust. But, I am not complaining because we still have a brilliant little spot by the Mediterranean. I would suggest you have a good read of our website, the section on Buying Property in Spain. It could save you some heart ache and money later on.
