Your apartment

Torre Nova Resort offers comfortable, high-end holiday apartments, with maximum privacy. They have a spacious living area with a fully equipped kitchen, one to three bedrooms (quality box springs, extra long 2.10 x 1.80 m) and one or two bathrooms. The apartments on the ground floor have a terrace in the garden, the apartments on the upper floors have one or more balconies. They all offer a beautiful view at the garden, the pool and the green valley or the castle and the medieval village. We hope that you will find everything you need for a pleasant stay.

The 4.5 m high beamed ceilings give an extra sensation of space. The apartments are cool in summer and comfortably warm in spring, autumn and winter (underfloor heating). Torre Nova has an elevator and the apartments have wide passageways and no tresholdss, making them accessible to everyone.

You will find a welcome package in the apartment at your arrvial (a bottle of wine, water, fruit juice, dishwasher tablets, pepper, salt, oil, vinegar).

Smoking is not allowed in the apartments (there are smoke/fire detectors). Of course you can smoke on the terrace, balcony or in the garden. We woulkd appreciate taking other guests into account.

In the apartments there are cushions for the outdoor chairs. We kindly ask you to keep these indoors at night or when you leave for a long time (there may be an unexpected thunderstorm).

We take pride in being a CO2 neutral resort. We use water from our own well, heat shower water with solar panels and generate our own electricity during the day, also with solar panels. In this way we contribute to combating climate change. We trust that you use water and electricity responsibly.

Water

The water from the taps/shower is pure spring water from our own well. No chlorine is added but the water is treated with a UV lamp. Therefore, according to Spanish law, it is not officially drinking water. You can buy bottled mineral water in the supermarket. Of course it is safe for showering, bruching your teeth, etc. 

Torre Nova has a sustainable energy system and the hot (shower) water is heated by solar panels. Between 8 and 10 in the morning and 6 and 8 in the evening (the 'usual' times for showering) the hot water circulation is on and there is instant hot water.

Besides those periods, we don't circulate hot water throughout the main house all day, to save energy. Outside the specified times it can take a little while for the instyantly heated water to reach your apartment. Then give the hot water circulation an activation 'push' by opening the hot water tap in the kitchen, bathroom or shower (handle to the left) only for a few seconds and then closing it again. Within a minute you´ll have hot water.

The water in our region contains a relatively much calcium. If you want to make the effort, we would appreciate it very much if you want to dry the shower glass with the provided wiper after taking a shower.

You find everything you need in the kitchen in the kitchen cabinets. Do you need something to cook and is it not available? Just ask us, we may have it and you can borrow it (e.g. blender). For groceries you will find a shopping bag next to the fridge.

Hob

You unlock or block the hob with the 'bloqueo' button. Turn on the hob and touch the hob you want to use and regulate the heat with  '+'  and  '-' . If you want the highest setting (9) right away, then press '-' after switching on. Use the cooking pan that corresponds in size to the size of the hob. You can check whether the olive oil in the frying pan is hot enough by adding a small piece of meat or vegetable. Just before water starts cooking, you can lower the setting (e.g. 5 or 6). If you have small children, it is advisable to lock the hob after use using the 'blockueo' button.

For glasses and cups only, the third program from the right (32 min) is sufficient. You will find some dishwasher tablets on arrival, you can buy 5 dishwasher tablets from us for €1. If the salt or brightener needs to be refilled, please let us know.
