ORBA – Spacious Four-Storey Villa with Mountain Views, Pool and the Village Centre on Foot

LOCATION AND SURROUNDINGS
Orba in the heart of the Marina Alta
Orba lies around 15 kilometres inland from Dénia in the fertile valley of the Riu Girona, at approximately 154 metres above sea level, nestled between the mountain ranges of the Marina Alta. It is precisely the location that connoisseurs of the Costa Blanca have been seeking for years: close enough to the sea for a spontaneous beach day, far enough inland for tranquillity, clean air and a price level that no longer exists on the coast itself.
A village that genuinely works
Orba is not a holiday resort that closes its shutters in winter, but a lively village of around 2,400 inhabitants, roughly half of whom come from elsewhere in Europe. You will find banks, a pharmacy, a health centre, a dentist and an optician, along with a public swimming pool and tennis, basketball and football facilities. A supermarket, butcher, bakery, petrol station, garage, restaurants and bars cover daily life completely, and every Wednesday the weekly market offers fruit, vegetables and regional produce. For families this means short distances: school, doctor, shopping and leisure are all within reach without the car becoming the centre of daily life. From this property you are on foot in the middle of it all.
Mountains, valleys and the sea, all within reach
Above Orba begins the Vall de Laguar with the famous Barranc de l'Infern, one of Spain's most impressive hiking routes, with the starting point just ten minutes away. Above the village, on the Monte de Adroberes, stand the remains of the 13th-century Castillo d'Orba, a walk best saved for sunset. The Algar waterfalls, the mountain village of Guadalest and the Jalón valley with its wineries are each around half an hour away.
The sandy beaches of Dénia and the surrounding coast are about 20 minutes by car, with Jávea and Moraira following shortly after. Several championship golf courses lie within an hour's drive, the nearest of them considerably closer.
Access
Alicante and Valencia airports are each reachable by motorway in a little over an hour, which makes the decisive difference for owners based in Germany, Switzerland or Austria. Two airport options mean more direct connections in practice, more flexibility and better fares throughout the year.
Why Orba
The valley of Orba benefits from a remarkably mild microclimate, pleasant temperatures all year round and an agricultural setting of orange, lemon, almond and olive groves. Precisely this combination of intact village life, nature on the doorstep, solid infrastructure and proximity to the coast has led to steadily rising demand for quality properties in the hinterland of the Marina Alta, while the supply of spacious villas within walking distance of a village centre remains limited. Buying here means acquiring not only a home, but a location with stable demand, whether for your own use, as a second residence or with a view to future rental.
