The garage with its art studio could also be turned into a second guest house.

The area: La Plana, Jávea La Plana lies on the slopes of the Montgó, a protected natural park full of hiking trails and picnic areas with spectacular sea views. The centre and port of Jávea are about 7 minutes away by car and the centre of Dénia about 10 minutes.

Because building is no longer allowed in the natural park, the supply of homes in La Plana is fixed, which supports long-term value. The guest house and studio give room for family, guests or long-term letting, which needs no tourist licence; short holiday lets require a tourist licence from the Valencia region.
