VILLA LA OLLA

We had a very happy vacation with children in different ages.

Wonderful family home, great location with lovely view, pool and terraces!

We had a wonderful holiday at Villa Olla. The villa is an amazing house set in the mountains in a quiet neighbourhood. Mountains behind the sea in front, the view is amazing. Josette is a lovely host and was so helpful. We loved it. Strongly recommend sea-shoes for the pebbly beach, bit painful getting into the sea!

We had a beautiful week in April with our grown up children and their partners. The villa had ample space for all of us and was very comfortable. It was equipped with everything that was needed and the beds were very comfortable. The large pool was lovely and we spent lots of time on the supplied sun beds! The views from the balcony were stunning. Nothing was to much trouble for Josette, and we will be looking to visit again!

We, family of four stayed in this villa for a week in April.The house is very nice and clean. Josette kindly let us in as we arrived early. The entire house is very clean. Every bed room has a very nice panoramic sea and a mountain view. There are plenty sitting areas outside the house with table and chairs on different levels. The kitchen is very well equipped and different kinds of tea, coffee and honey are available. Fresh fruits and a bottle of wine are welcoming gifts for us. Bedrooms are big enough. The owner lady Josette is very helpful and gives us advice where to eat, Jasmine restaurant is located across the road from the Church and 10 minutes walking distance from the villa. We have paella rice for lunch and it was one of the best meal we have ever eaten. There is a supermarket Further along the road from this restaurant. Tram Stop is located 3-5 minutes walking distance from the villa. Car hire is not necessary for us. Swimming pool is nice and clean but a bit cold so our teenage children decided not to swim but they loved to sieve away the falling leaves from the pool. They also love reading books from sun loungers by the pool. We enjoyed playing table tennis which is located at the back garden. I will greatly miss having my breakfast looking out the most fantastic view of sea and the mountain from the table by the pool and the view from our bedroom. The view at the night time is really nice too. We can see the well lit flats over the mountain through the patio door at the living room. We all love to come back again. Many thanks to Josette.

We were a party of Seven adults and 2 children and we spent a wonderful week in Josette’s beautiful villa with its breathtaking views from the various terraces. The location was ideal with a tram station minutes from the villa. The villa itself is very spacious well equipped and spotlessly clean. Josette was a wonderful generous host who made us feel very welcome. Thank you Josette.

So nice!

We spent two weeks at VillaSeaVue with our three children. Each brought a friend. We were a total of eight and fit comfortably in the villa. The villa is well-appointed, with a modern kitchen and two full baths. It is also very well-located, in a beautiful hilltop community overlooking the Mediterranean on the Altea coast. The homeowner, Josette, is warm, friendly and charming. She was very attentive and responsive, and made every effort to make certain that our stay was comfortable. The pool had just been retiled and overlooks the sea. We spent most of our free time at the house, lounging by the pool. This summer was the hottest on record for Spain. Fortunately, the bedrooms have air conditioning, so sleeping was not a problem, although air conditioning is not available in the common areas (living room, dining room and kitchen). The Villa is also located within walking distance to the tram, which can take you to many other beaches and points of interest; however, we drove most places. The Villa is a 15-minute car ride to sandy beaches at Calpe and Benidorm and just a short 5 to 10-minute drive to a rocky beach in Altea. Day trips to Valencia and Alicante are very easy to make, as were evening trips to the discotheques in Benidorm for our older children. The highway system is very modern and manageable. Parking was never an issue. There is a driveway at the villa as well as on-street parking in front. At the beaches and in Altea, we were able to find on-street parking easily and parking machines were clearly marked. Our family most enjoyed the beaches in Calpe and the rocky beach in Altea, which were much less crowded. The water was beautiful; chairs and umbrellas are easy to rent. Water shoes are recommended for the rocky beach. They make it easy to walk on the beach and were inexpensive. Old Altea is lovely with abundant restaurants, galleries and shops. Overall, we had a fantastic time in Spain and at VillaSeaVue, and hope to return one day soon.

We stayed 6 weeks from January to March to avoid the British winter, and had an unforgettable time. The villa and grounds are generously sized and beautifully laid out, with a stunning view which even the pictures shown here cannot really capture. We arrived to a wonderful welcome from Josette, who was a kind, attentive owner throughout our stay. We found that the tram (with a tramp stop less than 5 minutes walk from the front door) was our favourite way of travelling up and down the Costa Blanca coast, although road links are also excellent if you'd rather drive. The local area is lovely, with Altea town itself (9 minutes relaxed tram journey away) a great base to discover the surrounding area, or just to relax and stay around if you prefer. Weather for us was a little cooler than expected, although we still got to enjoy 20-25 degree sunny days on occasion. When considering that all this (weather, travel, views, luxury) is just a short plane trip away, we would have no regrets in recommending Altea in general, and especially this villa in particular, as the best way to avoid the cold Northern European winter!

When looking for a place for celebrating my wifes 70 th birthday together with our children and their families I found this particular house situated in the hills outside Altea. We all fell for the amazing photos which could only be beaten by the real views when we arrived. We were all together 6 adults, 2 children 8 and 10 years old and an infant of 1,5 years old and the house accommodated us all with plenty of space. To be honest we spent most of our time outside in the pool area enjoying the nice Spanish weather and the spectacular views. To surprize my wife on her birthday the wonderful landlord Josette Dotez help us to organize an evening meal with Paella and tapas made by a local restaurant which we all enjoyed outside in pool area. She even picked the food up and delivered to us in her car, that’s amazing. The house was located in a very calm area with no disturbing noise from the outside world, actually a perfect place for a very relaxing vacation where all the families could come together and enjoy the beautiful Spanish summer. Everything was neat and clean with a well equipped kitchen where we spent quality time together to jointly prepare our meals after been shopping in local supermercado. The area was very calm but still very close to Altea and only a short drive into Benidorm. When looking back on our stay in the villa I can find only one disadvantage and it is the length of our stay. We could easily been there a couple of more weeks to get some more time discover the surroundings and the nice villages close by. This was the first time we rented a house for all the family and one thing I can say for sure is that we will not have any problems to have our children and their families to join us in the future on coming trips. Thank you very much Josette for all your kindness and help during our stay and perhaps we will meet soon again. Karl-Erik and Christine with famiies
