The
mild temperatures of the Mediterranean coast make the Valencia
Region of Spain, where our 'Los Huertos' luxury villa
is located, the perfect destination for golfers. This is especially
true in the autumn and winter months when the climate in this
part of Spain is ideal for the sport of golf, whereas the
weather in Great Britain and northern Europe can be cold,
wet or at best unpredictable. The Valencia Region holds an
abundance of incredibly well maintained 18 hole and 9 hole
golf courses to choose from, many designed by world famous
golf course designers and catering for all levels of golfing
ability.
