My wife and I have just spent a week in this villa apartment, and had the most relaxing time. Barbara and Tony, the English owners of this villa, live upstairs; they are there for help, and advice, if needed, but otherwise we were unaware they were there. They have their own garden and pool on the other side of the villa, so the garden and pool advertised, and photographed, are for the sole use of guests.
The villa is on a small, quiet, urbanisation next to a golf club. Beautiful views all round, especially towards the Montgo mountain. The garden is very private, and has a lovely pool. There is a gas barbecue, and a nice outside eating area with table and chairs. The garden is well cared for with a range of exotic plants and shrubs. We spent our first day just in the garden, relaxing, sunbathing and reading - beautiful. The golf club also has a good restaurant, which is handy if you only want to walk down the road for a meal.
The apartment is compact, but ideal for 2 to 4 adults, with two double bedrooms. Not practical for active children as far too quiet on the urbanisation. There is a very well equipped kitchen, and a comfortable lounge. WiFi is available, and Sky TV with the main UK channels, if you want to watch the TV! Also a washing machine. There is no dishwasher, but this was not a problem for the two of us.
There are a number of supermarkets not too far away, so shopping is not a problem.
The villa is located on the outskirts of Benitachell, and is ideally located for exploring the region. We visited Altea, Calpe, Moraira, Javea, and Denia, all within easy reach. There are excellent sandy beaches at Javea, Arenal, and at Moraira.
All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, just what we needed, peace and quiet. Loved the area, and will hopefully be returning in the future. Would be quite happy just to sit in the garden reading, and swimming for a weeks total relaxation.
I have not awarded 5 stars as no air con, although I understand the owners are considering this, and also no dishwasher. I emphasise, this was not an issue for us. There are a number of electric fans in the apartment and these were adequate for our needs, and, as already advised, a dishwasher was not necessary for us either. However, we were not looking for a 5 star apartment, but I appreciate others would expect these things for 5 stars.
