There is nothing that can describe the views from this villa. They are fantastic. Looking across the valley and then down to the sea.
This is sometimes advertised on http://www.ownersdirect.co.uk . It can be booked up quite early. We were fortunate to get it due to a cancellation.
The pool has a slide, which will keep the kids amused for hours, and even more if you have friends with Children staying nearby and who can visit.
Pool table, plus table tennis in the double garage. Next to the garage is badminton court.
Miles Turner looks after the place on behalf of a couple who live in UK.
Most of the gardens are terraced as you are on the side of a mountain or very big hill.
You'll see lots of rabbits on the "mountain" road, note: hairpin bends. If you are really lucky, as we were on the last night, see some wild boar.
The villa is well equipped. Also a separate dining room, which has spetacular views; once you open the patio style doors.
There's long driveway leading to the villa and an open area thatb will accommodate several cars.
In the centre of the villa is a seating area with a glass roof. This has a canopy that is pulled across to provide shade. Nice quite area away from the lounge. However, all the rooms lead off this area.
All the rooms have ceiling fans with the exception of the kitchen, and the central "atrium".
The slight downside of the place is the bathrooms. They're a bit dated, and could do with a bit of modernising. Once had part of the shower door off, and needed repairing, but this wasn't managed in the fortnight we were there.... These are minor things, and didn't spoil the holiday.
Good shaded areas outside, and plenty of loungers, perhaps could do with more than 4 cushions for the loungers.
I like the idea that some things are left in the cupboards to use, and replenish when you can, rather than arriving and the cupboards are bare.
One of the best touches is that there are plenty of towels, and ones that you would classify as beach towels for use around the pool. This saved a bit of weight in the luggage.
Miles is a nice chap, and speaks fluent Spanish; which is a help if you have forgotten that favourite phrase book.
I think that some of the places to eat, and the comments are a bit dated. Nevertheless, good suggestions.
They could do with creating a library scheme, i.e. take a book leave a book, this starts to create a rotation, and a variety. This worked well at a villa we stayed at near Calpe. See my review about "Casa Dryllig".
This is not the place to stay if you want to be in the thick of things and in walking distance of restaurants, it is a very remote villa.
