Arenal stay.Within a 10-minute walk of this Arenal apartment, you'll find Javea Bay and Arenal Beach. Javea Beach and Platja de la Grava are also within 3 miles (5 km).
Sofia's Balcony is a piece of fresh and contemporary paradise, less than 5 minutes' walk from the bustling Arenal beach. The apartment complex is far enough from the beach to be peaceful, but at the same time very close to the lively cafés, bars and restaurants.
Inside the apartment, the bright rooms are minimally decorated with modern artworks on the wall and quality furniture. At the end of the open-plan living and dining room, there is an American kitchen with a breakfast bar and all modern conveniences. Along the entire space is the fabulous covered outdoor balcony, with spaces for outdoor dining and relaxation, as well as distant views of the sea.
The three bedrooms are equipped with comfortable beds, lovely lamps, and built-in wardrobes. The two bathrooms have walk-in showers and practical vanities, ideal for storing all the creams and lotions from the holidays. The ducted air conditioning can be adjusted to your preferred temperature throughout the apartment, making it a great holiday home at any time of the year. The apartment also has two private underground parking spaces, accessible by lift or interior stairs. Additionally, the complex is a 5-minute walk from the nearest supermarket, so stops to buy more ice cream are a piece of cake.
JH Loves - The privileged location, the bright interiors and the fabulous balcony with views of the Mediterranean.

Highly recommend
Beautiful appointed apartment light and airy and comfortable with peaceful views towards the sea.
Modern and throughly clean with everything at hand for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. Good location for beach shops and restaurants.
Would definitely recommend Javea Holidays for their service and that extra touch.

The most amazing time
My partner and I with our two young children stayed at the Balcon de Sophia in October and had the most amazing time. The apartment is absolutely perfect, the condition is pristine and very modern. It’s a beautiful apartment and has all the mod cons you could wish for. It’s less than 5 minute walk to the most stunning beach and promenade with all the restaurants and shops. You can even see the sea from your balcony. We loved staying here so much that we are already planning our next trip soon.

Superb holiday
The location of the apartment couldn't be better. To the rear is a 2 minute walk to masymas and to the front is a 5 minute walk to the beach. We love the Arenal anyway and have now found the perfect place to stay with no need for a car. Infact we loved it so much that we rebooked for next year before our holiday had finished.
Not really sure, the only thing I would do differently is the layout on the balcony but that's just moving the furniture about

La disposition et l'emplacement de l'appartement
Attention à qui vous louez. Nous venons depuis 2 ans et cette année nous avons été trés dérangé par les autres locataires avec leurs enfants.
Au prix du séjour on espéré de la tranquilité.
