Holiday in Spain with Dutch accommodation owners
We are Jacqueline Brakel and Geert van Heijningen, your hostess and host at Torre Nova. In 2007 we moved with our children from Amsterdam to Spain. After half a year of viewing houses, from ruins to priceless palaces, we found the perfect place for our dream project. It took us a year to buy it and celebrated seven times that we had bought the house, but there was always something going on. Some respond with 'oooh how awful ..' and others with 'nice, seven times party!'. We are from the last ;-) Now, fourteen years later, Torre Nova is highly appreciated and we feel completely at home here.
The renovation that did go well
Our goal was consciously to realize a luxurious, small-scale, authentic, attractive, sustainable and child-friendly holiday residence. With above-average spacious, monumental, comfortable and high-end apartments. During the thorough and sustainable renovation, we paid a lot of attention to the balance between the comfort of today and the preservation of the grandeur of the past. Torre Nova uses solar energy for electricity, hot water and underfloor heating and all the water consumed on Torre Nova comes from our own source (not treated with chlorine but sustainable with a UV lamp). The water in the private swimming pool, heated with solar energy in spring and autumn, also comes from our own source. We treat it with a natural method based on salt, which is good for the environment and a boon for the swimmer.
