Set on the outer edges of Javea on the Costa Blanca coastline, this flamingo-pink villa is the perfect place to escape to for summer sun. With four bedrooms and enough room for a group of eight visitors, bring the whole family and savour long afternoons splashing around in the pool, sunning yourself on a lounger and tucking into pastries on the terrace, with its wonderful palm-fringed views. Cool off in the laid-back living area: there's plenty to admire, with timber-beam ceilings, antique cabinets and carved-wood doors just a few of the home's many curiosities. Head out to Javea's golf course, restaurants and bars; lovers of the water can hit the beach to dive, sail and surf. On a rare cooler night, ensconce yourself in an armchair by the fireplace.
