Casa Peguche

Benitachell, Alicante, Spain

Casa Peguche, an authentic Mediterranean dwelling, has been thoughtfully adapted to cater to individuals with disabilities. This wheelchair-accessible accommodation is nestled at the end of a tranquil street in the Girasoles neighborhood of Cumbre del Sol on the Costa Blanca in Spain. With the capacity to accommodate 8 to 10 individuals, this house truly serves as a family home suitable for people of all ages, including those with disabilities.


From Casa Peguche, guests can relish breathtaking views of the La Granadella nature reserve and the serene Mediterranean Sea, creating the perfect oasis to unwind from the fast-paced demands of everyday life. The detached Casa sits on its own fully enclosed plot spanning over 800 m2, complete with a carport accommodating two cars. The plot is entirely flat, featuring spacious terraces and a comfortable lounge set, ensuring easy accessibility for wheelchair users to move around freely without any limitations.


Originally comprising two separate floors, Casa Peguche underwent extensive renovation in 2016 to transform it into a welcoming space for wheelchair users, resulting in a ground floor that is entirely flat, barrier-free, and wheelchair accessible. Over a construction period of more than six months, the Casa was expanded to offer ample space for 8 to 10 people without compromising its warm and cozy atmosphere.


Designed to maximize natural light, Casa Peguche employs natural materials and earthy tones that create a delightful ambiance. The ground floor exudes an open and inclusive character, providing optimal mobility for wheelchair users. The floor is divided into three interconnected rooms, separated only by decorative arches, ensuring continuous engagement among the occupants. The stylish decor, featuring Italian furniture in cherry wood, adds a touch of Mediterranean elegance to the overall aesthetic of the Casa.


The living room of Casa Peguche features two seating areas, providing easy access to the garden through multiple threshold-free doors, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces. A modern and sturdy sitting area, furnished with four chairs, is perfect for engaging in games or enjoying meaningful conversations. Additionally, a cozy corner with an authentic soapstone woodstove creates a delightful atmosphere, allowing one to unwind by a crackling fire in electrically adjustable chairs, ensuring exceptional comfort even during winter stays. Entertainment amenities include Dutch satellite TV with DVD, wireless internet connection via WiFi, and a radio/CD player.


The spacious kitchen is fully equipped and thoughtfully designed to be completely wheelchair accessible. It features a partially lowered worktop with a standard sink and tap, enabling everyone to prepare their favorite meals or tapas with ease. The kitchen is furnished with a microwave oven, an extra-wide induction hot plate, a dishwasher, a washing machine, and a fridge/freezer, providing all the necessary appliances. In addition to standard kitchen accessories, there is a regular coffee machine and a Senseo coffee machine available. The long dining table in the dining room comfortably accommodates 8 to 10 people and is fully accessible from both sides, fostering continuous interaction with fellow diners during meal preparation.


Casa Peguche also boasts a special room that is fully equipped for disabled individuals but can be used by able-bodied people as well. The adjustments made in this room seamlessly blend with the rest of the house, ensuring it doesn't give off a clinical or hospital-like atmosphere. The special room features two mobile high/low beds with trapeze bars, an adapted extended toilet with folding support brackets, and a slightly tiltable sink with a standard tap for wheelchair users. Additionally, there is a wheelchair-accessible shower equipped with a fixed folding shower chair and a mobile shower chair. Two patio doors without thresholds provide access from this bedroom to the garden and its terraces, allowing for easy movement of a wheelchair or even a bed if desired.


A graceful spiral staircase connects the ground floor to the upper floor, but it can also be reached via the outside staircase and the original entrance of the residential floor. This spacious upper floor offers three luxuriously furnished bedrooms and a bathroom equipped with all the necessary comforts.


One of the bedrooms is decorated in a colonial style and features a double bed (180x210) with an electrically adjustable mattress. This bedroom offers views of the pool and the Mediterranean Sea and provides direct access to one of the existing roof terraces.


The second bedroom has two single beds (90x210 cm) with electrically adjustable mattresses and a spacious wardrobe.


The third bedroom can accommodate three people and is furnished with bunk beds (90x210 cm) and an additional trundle bed, suitable for both children and adults. The room is equipped with a wardrobe and a dresser that can also serve as a changing table. For little ones, amenities such as a changing mat, a potty, a high chair, and a crib are available.


Moreover, the generously sized private pool (8x4m) offers ample opportunities for play, cooling off, or doing a few laps. Steps within the pool allow for easy entry, and a pool hoist is also available, ensuring that all guests, regardless of their abilities, can enjoy the pool. The water level in the shallow part of the pool is approximately 1.30m, while the deepest part reaches around 1.85m. Adjacent to the pool is a spacious, completely flat terrace adorned with a large lounge set and sunbeds, offering stunning views of La Granadella National Park and the Mediterranean Sea, creating a private resort-like atmosphere.


Furthermore, the two expansive roof terraces provide a perfect place to unwind and take in the breathtaking sights of the garden, pool, adjacent nature reserve, and the vast expanse of the Mediterranean. Whether you prefer relaxing in a hammock or sinking into a cozy beanbag, on clear days, you might even catch a glimpse of Ibiza. In summary, this is the ultimate sanctuary for unwinding and rejuvenating.
