Open the door and the terrace is a second living room, with the Mediterranean in front of it: dining table, sofa and two armchairs. The flat is on the beachfront in Tavernes, a one-minute walk from the sand.

Inside there is real room for six: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a proper kitchen and a laundry room. Wifi and a desk with a sea view. Free parking, a lift, pets welcome.

You go down with a towel, come back for lunch looking at the sea from the terrace, and after the siesta you go again.

The terrace adds a whole living room outdoors, and it is why people come back: a dining table for six, a sofa and two armchairs facing the sea. Breakfast, lunch, an afternoon book and dinner happen out there.
Three bedrooms: two with double beds, one with two single beds. Two full bathrooms, so mornings never queue up.
The kitchen is set up for actual cooking, not just reheating. Laundry room with a washing machine, what long stays really need. A lift, and free parking even in August.

Tavernes beach is nearly two kilometres of golden sand with a Blue Flag, lifeguards in summer and beach bars at the water's edge. It is a local beach: busy on summer weekends, quiet the rest of the year.
Supermarket, bakery, pharmacy and restaurants are five minutes on foot. Gandía is fifteen minutes by car, Valencia under an hour. Inland: the Valldigna valley, a 13th-century monastery, the Corbera hills.
Quiet street. People come here to hear the sea through an open window.
