Our beautiful 500 year old cottage Casa Los Tres Molinos (House of the three windmills) is a lovingly renovated traditional “finca” set in an untouched valley on the edge of Jesus Pobre. The village lies equidistant (one hour’s easy drive) between Alicante and Valencia. The valley is a nature reserve and the house boasts tremendous views of the reserve. Jesus Pobre is situated slightly inland from the coast, between the charming resort town Javea, and the more metropolitan Denia and close to the charming small market town of Gata de Gorgos. From Denia it is only a two hour ferry ride to Ibiza. We are perfectly situated for enjoying the scenic beaches of the “Costa Blanca”, but the house also provides a rural retreat. It is down a track so there is no traffic noise but with a bustling and vibrant village on the doorstep.
Jesus Pobre is a small, charming and welcoming community that lies underneath the enigmatic elephant shaped “Montgo” mountain. The village has three popular bars, two of which serve good food on lovely terraces, plus two restaurants. There are two village shops, a pharmacy and an excellent bakers and a good Vet. More amenities can be found in nearby Gata de Gorgos. The cottage sleeps six, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms over two levels (two double beds, one with two singles). The communal spaces are large and unfussy, with a big dining kitchen that includes a bar. There is also an open plan living area with Satellite TV, DVD, sound system, library, games etc. We have WIFI. The traditional fireplace is particularly cosy during the winter months. The washing machine facilities are situated outside on the back terrace. WiFi is now included in the property!
“Casa Los Tres Molinos” (“House of the three windmills”) nestles in the side of a terraced hill under three old windmills. There is a swimming pool above the house. Surrounded by patio and trees, this spot offers a glorious view over the valley and to the Montgo beyond. The house is equally suited to family beach/pool holidays as it is to artists, writers, walkers and bird watchers. Since our family first brought the property in 1967 many artists have been inspired by the house and created work on the sheltered patio. Our open plan patio at the front is a lovely place to sit and have meals. It is covered but with lovely views onto the valley and the pines and almond trees.
