Racó de Galeno

Racó de Galeno in Benissa is a development of large villas with private pools, where the house produces part of its own energy. Solar panels, a heat pump, underfloor heating and heat recovery ventilation are in the specification. In Villa Irati, each of the four bedrooms has a bathroom attached.

Where Racó de Galeno stands

Benissa; the sea is a 3,4 km drive. This is life in your own house on your own plot, and you drive to the beaches and to Calpe. For a wider view of villas in the district, open Benissa, villas.

Villa Irati, floor by floor

The main floor holds daytime life. There is a lounge with dining room, the kitchen, an inner courtyard with a tree and a covered barbecue terrace. The bedrooms have a floor of their own. There are four, each with its own bathroom, and the garage for two cars is on that level too.

A second villa is being built in the same development, Villa Alora, pricier and laid out differently. The house steps down a sloping plot in levels, with the swimming pool set on its main terrace. It also has four bedrooms.

What Racó de Galeno builds in

An aerothermal system heats and cools the house. Underfloor heating runs through every room, and heat recovery ventilation refreshes the air. Airzone thermostats work over the internet, and the solar panels cover your own consumption. There is a car charging point by the garage.

Glazing runs down to floor level, bedroom shutters are motorised, and doors reach the ceiling on hidden hinges. The kitchen has Silestone and a full Miele set with a water softener. Home automation comes with two iPads and a smart speaker. Garden watering is set from an app, and any alarm is confirmed by camera.

Outdoors: a barbecue counter with its own sink, garden terraces watered automatically, and a pool with a shower.

Who Racó de Galeno suits

A family moving to Spain for good who want a big house where everyone has a bedroom and bathroom of their own. People working from home who value low energy bills. Hosts: the covered barbecue terrace and the inner courtyard are made for long dinners.

Beach walkers are better served by the apartments in Calpe.
