Cumbre del Sol Residential Resort Magazine, it’s out now!

Because when something is always so good, why change it … we are back with a new issue of our Cumbre del Sol Magazine full of news and info!

Our magazine was first issued in 2017 and following the inevitable hiatus caused by the pandemic, we’re back again with more news and information than ever.

For more recent arrivals, and by way of a reminder for the neighbours who have been here for some time, we provide a recap of the wide range of services  available at Cumbre del Sol: the Lady Elizabeth International School, Dreamsea Mediterranean glamping,  La Cumbre restaurant, Pepe La Sal supermarket, Pure Wellness and Medical Center and Dr. Thomas Dobrucki to name just a few of them. This last service is in fact the subject of the next item in the magazine.

Doctor Dobrucki has been a resident of  Cumbre del Sol since 2017  and he granted us a lovely interview in which he told us all about his personal life (what led him to choose Cumbre del Sol as his home) and his professional career (services available, languages spoken, treatments, experience…).

2022 is the first year that we have actually been able to feel free again, with life as it was pre-pandemic. And this is something that we really should celebrate! The events this year, namely Summer Party and the Belgian Fiesta were a huge success,  meeting new people, reconnecting with friends and neighbours, forging friendships and above all, having a great time!

Not only that, but we also encourage a healthy life style and forming good habits and together with North Costa Blanca Pádel Club, we helped to organise the Summer Paddle Tournaments which were sponsored by  VAPF.

One of the most special things about this edition of Cumbre del Sol magazine is that we have fulfilled the challenge that we set ourselves some time ago,  which was to film a video showing the beauty of Costa Blanca Norte. From the charm of the area inland, the cuisine, and endless list of activities such as hiking, horse riding, water sports etc. In short, a reflection on the paradise we live in. Our video Life is your collection of moments will be presented shortly.

And of course! We had to provide a recap of the current status of our developments. In this issue we talk about one of the jewels in VAPF’s crown, Villa Veleta a villa in our Residencial Jazmines,.  This individually designed villa is filled with light and the sea makes it presence felt throughout the house. There is also room to mention the Montecala Gardens apartments (Cumbre del Sol) and Golf Suites La Sella (Dénia). Two options for spacious, functional, and efficient apartments with an interior décor that has been carefully chosen and considered down to the last detail. Two developments with a wide range of services (communal areas, swimming pools etc) and in unique locations for making the most of Costa Blanca Norte 365 days of the year.

 

RSC, clients’ testimonials, expansion, gastronomy… discover what’s new!

Grupo VAPF continues to expand, with 8 municipal districts currently hosting our future projects (Altea, Benissa, Teulada-Moraira, Lliber, Benitachell, Pedreguer, Dénia and Pego). This is unquestionably the start of a new stage of growth offering new locations and homes but without diverging from our main scenario of the Costa Blanca Norte.

As to our commitment to society, in 2021, the VAPF Group reinforced its activities of Corporate Social Responsibility in conjunction with several associations: UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, Save The Children, ACNUR, Fundación Vicente Ferrer… You can see what we have been doing in the RSC section of the VAPF website, and in the current issue of the magazine.

We also have some testimonials from our new VAPF clients and we mention how the  Costa Blanca has become a national and international benchmark as a gastronomic destination thanks to the area’s 7 Michelin starred restaurants, not to mention 12 Repsol suns and the region’s fantastic local produce.

Our Clients Come First. After-Sales Services

Our homes exude exclusivity and quality in each square metre. These features go much beyond selecting top quality materials, from avantgarde yet functional architecture with clean lines, and the superb locations where our projects and developments can be found.

A fundamental pillar of VAPF philosophy and what has turned us into a leader in North Costa Blanca has always been our relationship with our clients. Our clients being satisfied and comfortable is one of our priorities throughout the whole sales process, from start to finish. This mentality is based on and can be summarised in one simple sentence: Our clients come first.

Our clients are always accompanied and advised with the honesty and professionalism that defines us throughout the whole sales process. From the first day of construction to the very last, where we deliver a complete home ready to live in. How do we do this? Offering personalised care throughout each stage of construction and showing the home’s progress using our Extranet, so that the client can see the current development at any moment. After this, once the keys are handed over, we’ll continue to be by the client’s side, helping them with what we can: document management, enrolling children in school…

After handing over the keys, we continue to offer our clients a complete after-sales service to guarantee that they’re fully satisfied and that they always enjoy their new life in the Costa Blanca.

 

Before delivering the keys

We want to your new home to be perfect. That’s why before officially handing over the keys, the technician in charge of the home will visit to revise and check all of the rooms, installations, and household appliances thoroughly one by one, assuring that everything is working properly.

 

The Big Day

We provide you with one night’s accommodation to make your trip as comfortable as possible. On the day of handing over the keys, all useful information will be handed over to you too, as well as any other aspects needed for you to adapt as soon as possible to your new life:

  • Instruction manual for the home and/or swimming pool.
  • Manuals for electrical appliances and their corresponding guarantee certificates.
  • Keys to the mailbox and the shed in which they are located.
  • Emergency telephone operating manual for possible problems with electricity, water or gas.
  • List of useful telephone numbers and TV channels.
  • For apartments: statutes of the community, details of the president and administrator of the community.
  • Contact and location of the notary’s office.

In addition to signing all the documentation for the direct debiting of taxes and services for your property, we take care of the management.

 

Other after-sales services

 

Key safekeeping

VAPF offers you a free key safekeeping service which consists of us keeping a copy of the keys so that, in the event of an emergency, and if you are unable to go to the property, we can come to your place. If you travel to Spain and you realise that you have left your keys behind in your country, we will keep a copy so that you can enter your home without any difficulty.

For your maximum satisfaction and peace of mind, the safekeeping service includes a history of who has had them at any given time.

 

Free one-year insurance

We will also give you and deliver the contract of an insurance policy for the building for a whole year.

 

We manage the services of your new home

So that you don’t have to worry, we will also take care of your electricity and water bills. We’ll also offer you the possibility of contracting the telephone and/or internet service. We’ll explain everything to you: what the service offers, fees, rates, calls… And, if you want to think about it in your time, we will leave you a brochure with all the updated information.

On the same day, the property will be checked again with you and an employee from the VAPF after-sales department. They will check that all these aspects are in order:

  • Electrical supply and appliances
  • Plumbing
  • Furnishings
  • Paintwork
  • Heating and air conditioning in all rooms.
  • Gas
  • Home domotics
  • Apps
  • Sonos
  • Video surveillance
  • Swimming pool and exteriors

Take your time, if you notice any damage, it’s important that you let us know. An inspection visit will take place a few days later to deal with these issues and resolve them.

As we’ve said in this article, and as demonstrated throughout these 59 years of creating homes, we accompany and advise our clients throughout the entire process. After handing over the keys, you’ll have a VAPF contact person to discuss any type of problem or query related to your home.

Our clients can testify to this. If you want to know their testimonials you can see them on our website.

Don’t forget to follow us on our Facebook and Instagram profiles so that you don’t miss out on our new homes and flats and our next blog articles in which we will tell you more news about our homes.

Villa Lena: for nature lovers

Racó de Galeno is found very close to the town of Benissa. A unique setting with spectacular views of the sea, the skyline of Calpe and the Peñón de Ifach. The perfect place for nature lovers.

Villa Lena is a truly luxurious representative of what Racó de Galeno has to offer. A design that stands out for its careful layout positioned to enhance the union between the interior and the exterior. It does so by means of windows that are hidden, creating open spaces that enhance the beauty of this customisable villa. Its single floor layout and two wings adds to its comfort.

In one wing, we find the bedrooms.  Three double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. And in the other wing of the villa are the kitchen, the living room, and the dining room in a single open space with a guest toilet.

This care put into the interior design and layout carries through to the villa’s outside spaces, through the choice of elements inspired by wood. Also with planters, and with a glass wall in the swimming pool that communicates you directly with the sea. Details that invite you to live and enjoy the nature and peace that Racó de Galeno exudes.

Designed in several heights and in open, comfortable spaces in which the interior/exterior limits are crossed and blurred. The access to the house has the peculiarity of being on the top floor. From here, the stairs lead to the two wings where the 3 bedrooms of this villa are located. All of them include en-suite bathrooms. On the ground floor is the living area with kitchen, dining room, and porch… Outside, the infinity pool and jacuzzi are the centre of attention.

The New Life in Altea that’s Waiting for You

Starting from scratch in another city is a fantastic way to renew your life and give it new meaning. Choosing a place for the new life, however, is more difficult than it may seem. Not only do you have to decide what country or city to move into, but you have to consider other factors like climate, local services, local schools, how far it is from other cities, culture, cuisine and so much more, the list can go on and on.

One of the special things about life is that, sometimes, it seems that everything lines up and our problems are solved at once. And yes, it is possible to live in an idyllic setting, surrounded by nature, with an ideal temperature all year round, and next to the Mediterranean Sea that bathes the Costa Blanca North. A place just 50 kilometres from Alicante and 130 kilometres from Valencia. From VAPF, we would like to introduce you to the Azure Altea Homes 2 development.

The benefits of living in Denia: good weather, cuisine and leisure

It’s one of the paradises you’ll find in the Costa Blanca. Denia has the best of a large city, with many activities on offer and has all the benefits of being a traditional, coastal town. At VAPF, we know that deciding to buy a home is not easy as there are many factors that influence the decision. One of them being the location, of course. For that reason, our developments are in the best enclaves of the Costa Blanca, Cumbre del Sol, Altea, Benissa and… Denia, where you’ll find Golf Suites La Sella.

Want to know more about what Denia has to offer for your day to day life? We’ll tell you!

The weather in Denia

If there is one thing that characterises the towns and cities of the Costa Banca, it is its mild climate, and Denia does not disappoint. Mild temperatures in winter and warm temperatures in summer that you can spend on the beach or in the swimming pool of your new Golf Suites La Sella flat.

What’s more, this area of the Mediterranean coast enjoys more than 300 days of sun a year. Who can say no to such lovely, sunny days where any plan goes!

Denia – leading cuisine

Good food in Denia

If there’s anything that stands out about Denia, it’s the food. In 2015 it was actually declared by UNESCO as a Creative City of Gastronomy. In this city, produce from the sea and from Valencian fields fuse together, creating unique dishes that are delicious and original to the region!

The most well-known dish is red prawns from Denia, recognised all over the world. This jewel in Valencia’s cuisine lives at the bottom of the sea and takes centre stage on tables at Christmas each December in Spain. What about you, have you tried them yet?

But these high quality products still need to be cooked and prepared well. And that’s what the 300 or so restaurants in Denia are for. The town is also the gastronomic cradle of Alicante. 5 of its restaurants are featured in the Michelin Guide. The most internationally renowned one belonging to chef Quique Dacosta, whose restaurant currently has three Michelin stars. Only ten other restaurants can claim so in Spain!

Activities in Denia

Finally, we can’t not talk about the namesake of our development in Denia. Golf is one of the favourite pastimes of the residents in this town. And the fact is that Denia has the biggest golf course in the Costa Blanca. With 27 holes, surrounded by pine forests and with the Montgó mountain as a backdrop, you are sure to become a fan in no time!

The sea and the port of Denia offer many water activities for the summer, while being close to nature and the mountains in the area will allow you to enjoy days out in the fresh air during the winter.

Golf Suites La Sella

And, of course, you can enjoy all this from your flat in Golf Suites La Sella. A development just 15 minutes away by car from the town centre of Denia, where you can also enjoy the resort’s own services. A real luxury!

After getting to know Denia a bit more, would you choose it as your place to live? If so, do not hesitate to ask us all your questions in our form, and we will answer you as soon as possible.
