The country house "Miramontes"is situated in the countryside known as"La Fuentecilla".It´s only 4 kms awayfrom Villena (Alicante).It´s part
of the estate of the same name,an agricultural area where vines, olives
and cereals are cultivated,overlooked by a very old forest of mediterranean
pines.
It was built in 1899 by the canonof the cathedral of Toledo,Mr. Uan Chaumel
honoured sonof the town of Villena.The site was chosen by virtue of its
climatic characteristics,since the dry atmosphere and the closeness of salt
water, highly mineralized,provide it with lightly healthy qualities for
rheumatic and bones illnesses.There was a well of this kindof water in the
same estateuntil recently.
Apart from the country house there is also an old chapel, another house, a
farmyard, a wine cellar and a stable. |
