So I started looking at available properties in the Costa Blanca area in Spain. I know this area well and it has good flight connections with Scandinavia.<\/p>\n<p>One sunny day in February 2016, sitting on the plane on my way home from a meeting in Alicante, I picked up my iPad to continue my usual search and the first property that popped up was Villa Dorothea. The place looked absolutely perfect! And so the process began, and in October 2016 we became the happy owners of Villa Dorothea Retreat.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_section&#8221; bg_position=&#8221;left top&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-5&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<h3 class=\"headline font-special fontsize-l fontweight-700 lh-inherit align-left transform-uppercase \" style=\"margin: 0 0 20px 0; color: #333333;\">A little history<\/h3>[vc_column_text]Dorothea and her husband, a couple from Germany, bought the property in 1998. They fell in love with the location and its tranquility and started building the beautiful house that is there today. A few years ago, age caught up with them and they both passed away. Everyone who visits the place can see and experience how the whole property carries the mark of Dorothea&#8217;s creative hand and taste. It was clear she must have been a feminine, happy, elegant person and with a sense of humour. She loved to be surrounded by beauty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Welcome to Dorothea&#8217;s world!<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column bg_image=&#8221;16237&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"spacer\" style=\"height: 450px;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_section&#8221; bg_position=&#8221;left top&#8221;][vc_column bg_image=&#8221;16264&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"spacer\" style=\"height: 450px;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-5&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<h3 class=\"headline font-special fontsize-l fontweight-700 lh-inherit align-left transform-uppercase \" style=\"margin: 0 0 20px 0; color: #333333;\">Staying at villa dorothea<\/h3>[vc_column_text]Welcome to an exhilarating and refreshing stay with us at Villa Dorothea.
