Costa de Valencia, Spain Danni Menzies

Danni Menzies is helping sisters Pamela and Sheila find their dream holiday home in and around Oliva on Spain’s Costa de Valencia. They’d always dreamed of buying a holiday home with their late mother who was originally from Spain, but unfortunately she passed away before they had chance. In her memory, they’re looking for a three to four bedroom townhouse with traditional Spanish features within their budget of £70,000. Danni has five impressive properties to show them but will any of them perfect place for Pamela and Sheila?

We recently chatted to Pam and Sheila to find out how they've been getting on since the cameras stopped rolling - watch the full interview below!

About the area

Oliva is a small town in the heart of Spain’s orange growing region, nestled between mountains and coastline. Both Valencia and Alicante airports are only an hour’s drive away, welcoming regular flights from the UK, taking just over two hours. It’s at the more exclusive northern end of the Costa Blanca, making it a great place for holidays and house hunting. The main town is set a few miles inland and split in two, the older side, filled with winding streets and pretty squares, and the new, packed with all the modern conveniences you’d need. Oliva’s Beach area is a stunning spot with golden sand stretching over four miles, and far fewer people than other beaches further along the coast.
