Holiday home around Valencia

Hi everybody,

I am British, currently living in Zurich, married to an Italian and have 2 children.  In a few years time when I retire, my wife and I dream of spending the winter months in Spain and the summertime back in Zurich.  We are now starting to look for a property to buy around Valencia and I'm looking for advice on nice towns around that area.
We both play golf so would like to be fairly close to a course but do not necessarily want to be live right next to it.  More important for us is that we would be within walking distance of a centre with shops, restaurants and bars.
Would anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Bill

Hi Bill, try Villamartin, it has a nice vibe, the centre is really nice, surrounding areas also good, property prices very affordable, good mix of cultures, Google it, then do a street map tour/walk around areas you may be interested in, this will give you a good viewpoint of what is on your doorstep etc

Thanks Gem100,
WIll look for properties in that area

They're all in VERY high demand right now by the expat community and people moving from Valencia.  Here's a couple of nice videos about Denia (similar ones available for all of them):

Honestly, the videos don't even do it justice!  ;)
