ABOUT
My name is Stephanie Kirtley Alacreu. Raised in the UK, my job in fashion and my young family took me to New York, London and Paris, before I settled in Valencia, and fell in love with this city and surrounding areas.
I set up Encantada to share my love of this place and to help others to move here and share in its unique charms.
Working alongside my sister-in-law Maria Alacreu Carbonell who was born and raised in Valencia and has been practicing law for the last twenty years, together we are the perfect team to help you with all of your relocation needs.
We are based in Valencia but for years have been spending our free time along the Costa Blanca and the Balearics, particularly in Javea, Moraira, Denia, Ibiza, Formentera and Mallorca. We have a network of contacts and trusted partners in these areas and can assist you if your dream is to relocate or find a second home in any of these places.
Encantada (pronounced En-can-taa-da) comes from the Spanish word Encantar which means “delighted” or “charmed”. It is also used to say both “nice to meet you” and “happy to help”.
Encantada is a bespoke relocation service for anyone looking to move to Valencia or the Costa Blanca in the Mediterranean.
Relocation
We are relocation specialists and here to make each step of your relocation to Valencia and the surrounding areas totally stress-free – from finding or building your dream home, filing for residency and setting up your company, to selecting the right school for your children.
We provide an effortless service, using our unrivalled network of real estate agents, architects, builders, lawyers, notaries, accountants and interpreters to help make your move to Valencia straightforward and simple. All our contacts are proven and trusted professionals.
We know just how stressful and time-consuming relocating to Spain can be and how important it is to have someone on your side that speaks both English and Spanish and fully understands the systems and culture to help you move, settle and become a Spanish citizen.
Journal
We also share all the best things to do – where to eat, where to drink and places to stay via the Encantada Journal, an elevated insider’s guide to the real Valencia, Costa Blanca and the Balearic Islands.
Get to know Valencia, the Costa Blanca and Balearic Islands the Spanish way and discover its best kept secrets with Encantada’s tips on where to stay, what to do, where and what to eat and ideas for great escapes in the surrounding areas.
