Casa Sirocco is our home in Spain. We invite you to exclusive use of our Casa when we are not using it ourselves. As a home it is equipped with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. We want you to love the house as much as we do and perhaps enjoy some of the things we look forward to... ​ A morning coffee on the balcony watching the sun rise A chilled afternoon dangling our feet in the pool sipping a cool beer A warm, scent filled evening on the terrace, sharing tapas with friends and a glass or two of Rioja A stroll to the local bars and restaurants for a seafood Paella A day at the beach, dipping into the warm azure waters of the Mediterranean to cool down A hike up to the lighthouse to watch the paragliders jump from the cliffs Getting lost in the maze of streets and alleyways of Alicante and finding a cool place for lunch Some serious retail therapy at La Zenia boulevard near Torrevieja THE BEACH Carabassi Beach is an award winning Blue Flag beach, with miles and miles of golden sands edged by dunes and pine woods. A designated nature area, with specially constructed boardwalks to carry you across the dunes to the beach where you will find beach bars (Chiringuitos), Lifeguards, Sunbeds and Parasols. There is also a Watersports area and for that 'all over' tan, a dedicated naturist zone. The beach isn't just for the daytime though, why not come down at sunset where the beach bars play chilled music whilst you sip a cocktail or visit the "Life" Beach Club to party on the sand after dark in the summer months. If this all sounds too much don't worry, the beach is 6 miles long with many areas deserted, so finding a quiet spot to sit and read is easy. GRAN ALACANT Built upon and around a natural peninsula stretching into the Mediterranean, the resort of Gran Alacant is a hidden gem. An area popular with Northern Europeans, it is highly regarded as one of the best beachside locations on the Costa Blanca. Having slowly developed over a number of years, the resort was originally designed to be a seaside retreat for second home owners and consists of a number of small urbanisations each with their own architectural style. Homeowners today consist of Spaniards from places inland such as Madrid, Norwegians, Swedes, French, Russians and British. This gives the area a truly international feel with a friendly, laid back atmosphere. Many people live here all year round so there is always something to do. ​ There area has only one hotel so prices aren't inflated for package tourists, which means eating out and having a beer or glass of wine is amazing value. All the usual amenities are available including numerous restaurants serving almost every type of food you could wish for. Shops, supermarkets, chemist, Doctors and a weekly market at the end of the street on Thursdays are also available. A wide range of activities and sports can be found in and around the local area including snorkelling, fishing, paragliding and scooter & bicycle hire. Numerous Golf courses are also within easy reach by car. If you do not fancy hiring a car the circular bus will give you the opportunity to see Gran Alacant´s wonderful scenery, sea breeze and charm plus taking you to the shopping areas, places of interest and the beautiful Carabassi beach. No car? No problem! Beach 1.7km with options to take a circular Bus, or a gentle 30 min walk. Bars, shops, restaurants & supermarkets a 5 minute walk away. Bus stop 5 minute walk away. Alicante or Santa Pola can both be reached easily by bus from the bus stop at the top of the road. Airport 8 minutes taxi ride away. Uber is now operating in the area. ALICANTE Alicante is probably the coolest city you have never been to. Most tourists drive straight past on their way to beach resorts like Benidorm or Torrevieja. A beach side city, Alicante is located just 15 mins drive from Casa Sirocco. Stunningly beautiful with palm shaded esplanades where you can sip a Café con Leche and watch the world go by. Or stroll around the beautiful, vibrant marina, abundant with millionaire yachts before hitting the shopping streets, or the famous Fish Market where you will find all manner of seafood, fresh from the Mediterranean Sea. The World Health Organisation has voted Alicante as one of the healthiest areas in the world to live. The Costa Blanca has an excellent year round climate. The humidity is relatively low and being surrounded by mountains, the city is protected from northerly winds in Winter, giving the area more than 2800 hours of sunshine per year.
