This is a recently-renovated villa in an urbanisation outside La Eliana. Now, normally as you probably know, we would be the first people to make sarky comments about a place, have a couple of digs at the previous tenants taste in curtains, or sarcastically praise their gardening skills. BUT - I honestly really like this place. There was a guy in my school, - good-looking, funny...

This villa is in Albalat de Tarongers, very near Gilet and Sagunto. It is 30 minutes from Valencia city, and 15 from the beach. It always surprises me how many of these 2-in-1 properties there are. What are the benefits? Separation obviously. This place has 2 independent living areas, one upstairs and one downstairs. So what are the possibilities? Well the upstairs is slightly bigger...

Beautiful country villa, in the private urbanisation of Mont Blau which is a little outside Sagunto. 30 minutes from Valencia and 15 from the beach. You can see it has a great garden, mature pines to give shade and a swimming pool. Lovely views of hills around, this place is very private despite being close to the facilities of the urbanisation (tennis courts, social club)...

Always amazing how much more you get for your euro if you are willing to come that little bit further from Valencia. This is Chera, between Requena and Chulilla, and it really is no hardship coming out here. Very popular with day-trippers from the city, the landscape here is beautiful. Rivers and swimming spots and mountains. This house is fantastic. It is an hour from Valencia...

A villa situated just outside Lliria in the urbanisation Caramello K9-8 , named after one of those robot lads from Star Wars I suppose. No death star here, although a little bit run down to be fair. Lovely big garden space, front and back that has been allowed to run a bit wild. Its no joke looking after a big plot like this, but a goat, or an ewok or something would keep the grass down...

In El Plantío, one of the best urbanizations in Valencia and a 15-minute drive from the city, you will find this wonderful villa, with beautiful views. This impressive house is built in the style of a masia, a traditional farmhouse, and you can see how well it fits in with the natural environment around it. It is distributed over two floors and a semi-basement. It has 4 bedrooms, an office, large kitchen, 3 bathrooms...

This is my new favourite property. It reminds me of Mexico. I've never been to Mexico, but the whitewash-style walls, terracotta tiles, the jacaranda trees, cacti and the splashes of colour throughout, this is how I imagine it. This renovated villa is located on a decent-sized corner plot between Olocau and Bétera. It is actually on 2 levels, on the low level there is a large garage for two cars...

The Horta Nord is the area of farmland to the north of Valencia city, it has been cultivated for thousands of years and in fact the Via Augusta, the main Roman highway from Cartagena to Rome passed almost right past this property. Subsequently the visigoths, the moors, and the Spanish knights of the reconquista have all prized this land. This house itself was built over 100 years ago and is still in fantastic condition...

Well this a bit of an unusual one, a Large Plot and huge Villa of 500m2 divided into 3 Apartments, perfect if you would like to live there and run some Holiday Homes, a Yoga Retreat or are thinking of starting your own Religious Cult. On the 1st floor there are 2 symmetrical Apartments consisting of 3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, Living Room and Kitchen, on the Ground Floor, another Apartment with Large Living Room, Kitchen, 2 Bedrooms...
