Beautiful Villa with a Mountain Views
Unfortunately we stayed here for two weeks during the worst weather ever experienced in this part of Spain! I’m pleased to report that despite local flooding and the collapse of a major wall just at the end of the road, we were comfortable and dry in this lovely villa. It was very clean and well equipped and the English TV channels were a bonus when we were stuck inside for 3 days!
It is in a truly beautiful spot with views of the mountains as soon as you open the doors. It was absolutely perfect for us as a couple. We didn’t use the upstairs part with the extra bedroom and bathroom - but this would be perfect and private for sharing with a second couple.
Just a couple of points which might be useful for anyone staying here. There’s no information pack inside the Villa to tell you where things are. When we arrived, I couldn’t find the washing machine and emailed the local rep. She never answered - probably thought I was an idiot! I actually discovered the next day a separate laundry room at the back of the house behind a locked door that was really stiff and tricky to open. I had tried it before but thought it was permanently locked as I couldn’t seem to find a key to fit.
Another point is that the main fuse box is in the garage which is only accessible from outside the property. I suppose you don’t normally have to bother with the fuse box - but because of the atrocious weather, we discovered that a clap of thunder/lightning above the property could trip the main switch! This happened twice while we were there - in addition to the actual power cuts when the whole area was out.
Although there is a garage, it isn’t available to park in - you have to park a little down the road but this wasn’t really a problem for us.
The reason I’ve given this 4 stars and not 5 is that although it’s in a beautiful setting, it is a bit remote. The main part of Denia by the castle is about 30mins walk away and that’s where the restaurants are. There are a couple of local restaurants about 10 mins walk from the villa but they are not that great - just OK.
Overall though - yes a lovely place to stay.
