Villas Sunset: the only thing in the catalogue that is not an apartment
Villas Sunset is on Camí dels Quatre Termes, 400 metres from El Cargador beach, in a quiet setting between the sea and the hills. It is the only thing in the whole catalogue that is not an apartment: detached or semi-detached villas, each with its own garden, terrace and barbecue.A villa is not an apartment, and it shows in two ways
The first is outdoor space of your own. An apartment with a communal pool gives you a shared place to swim; a villa with a garden gives you your own place to have dinner, to leave the toys lying about, and to light the barbecue without asking anyone. With children, that difference fills half of every afternoon.
The second is noise: no neighbours above or beside you in the detached ones, and only one in the semi-detached. Ask which you are getting when you book, because the agency lists both.
82 m², three bedrooms, two bathrooms and seven places
It is 82 m² with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, for seven people. Seven is an awkward number in coastal rentals: most of the catalogue stops at four or six, so a group of seven usually ends up split across two properties or paying for one that sleeps eight. Here they fit in one.
It has air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a pool and parking — the full set: of the 39 in the catalogue, only 14 have their own space.
Between sea and hills, 400 metres from the beach
El Cargador beach is 400 metres away: an easy walk there and back, and in exchange you sleep away from the bustle of the centre. It is the village’s main beach, natural sand and calm water, with the Blue Flag year after year.
Being slightly out makes sense when you travel by car and with family: you park at home, the pool is your own and the village is a short walk. If what you want is to step out of the flat straight onto the sand, look at the beachfront ones instead.
What to do around here
From here you reach the three things people actually do in Alcossebre: the beach, the Sierra de Irta Natural Park with its seaside paths, and the centre with its restaurants and promenade. The Santa Lucía hermitage, with the view over the whole bay, is a short climb.
Who it suits, and how to book
It suits groups of up to seven — a large family, or two with children — who want outdoor space of their own and do not mind being 400 metres from the sand. It does not suit anyone who wants to walk to the beach in their pyjamas.
Booking is handled by Casa Azahar. Its page on the agency’s site is in Spanish.
