Property abroad: Mediterranean luxury

3:10pm Wednesday 10th January 2007 in Lifestyle By Mick Middles

For many, the favoured country for purchasing property abroad will always be Spain and that special relationship with British ex-pats shows no sign of slowing down.

Taylor Woodrow de Espaa's, which has been building homes in Spain for 45 years, has never enjoyed such brisk interest and its latest show home at Lagunas del Sol in Rojales, Costa Blanca, is proving particularly attractive.

The property is traditionally Mediterranean in style, with rustic features such as terracotta tiles and light cream walls - and perfect for immersing yourself in the real Spain. Surrounded by orange, lemon and almond groves, the development provides a country style settling with easy access to a wealth of local amenities. Prices start from 210,000 euros.

In contrast, the show home at Los Eucaliptos within the Los Arqueros development in the Costa del Sol provides inspiration for a city chic' apartment overlooking the proposed nine-hole golf course extension.

The property retains a light and airy feel but offers a more contemporary design.

Matched with luxurious soft furnishings the overall look is both practical and stylish, which carries on to the sun terraces that offer modern sun-loungers overlooking the stunning scenery. Prices start from 256,000 euros.

The company currently offers homes on the Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol and Mallorca.
