Villa sea view 230m2, 100m from the beach, swimming pool, garden, barbecue...

Very easy

The 2 things that initially attracted us to this property were 1) the location: we didn't want to be in a big town with noise but somewhere rural with local amenities nearby, a shop, beach, restaurants & tram so we could just stay and relax at the villa or go walking locally or use the tram 2) the description of the villa with a pool & Solarium Yes, we were expecting a small hill, but not a collection of small hills in either direction, very up & down and a workout even for our fittest friend, who has completed the London marathon!! Upon arrival the gate was opened to a steep set of approx 10 steps and has 4 of our group are less able-bodied, these became a daily struggle. The description, I feel, should state that the property is inaccessible for persons with reduced mobility & not just wheelchair inaccessible, as I am a stroke survivor with a right-sided weakness who isn't a defeatist but I found the stairs and hills a struggle. Had there been photos of these i wouldnt have booked this villa as i know some of the party would have problems!! We were left disgruntled when we made our way to the beach, the photo of the beach presented did not match the one that was 100m from our villa but one that looks like the one in nearby El Campello, which I may add was beautiful. The beach we were met with was completely covered in dried out seaweed with a nasty smell emanating from it which the locals informed us was cleared daily in the summer months but not now!! Most of our party could not make the walk to the local amenities, the tram and shop state they are 500m away, maybe so if they were in a straight line, so resorted to using taxis on a daily basis which became very expensive!! In the title of the villa it says Solarium, we searched for it but never found it!! To get to my double bedroom I had to go down a very thin, metal spiral staircase which started as just an hole in the living room floor, no hand rail, banister security rails etc around it which would be unsafe for children or someone who's had too many holiday gins!! We found used mouldy coffee in the coffee pot & smoke came billowing out the oven as someone had left a tray in there which was covered in stale mouldy oil! It was hit & miss if you could get back in the villa after locking it, thankfully the back door worked. The main positives are the lovely pool & the roof terrace with a beautiful view which we would have used more had there been more than 2 chairs up there

We all had a great time villa was really good.

We stayed in Corine and Gerard's home from October to December. It is in a fantastic, quiet, location with views to the Mediterranean and only a short walk to the beach. The house is perfect for relaxing with a great pool and bbq area. It is fully equipped and has everything required for an enjoyable stay. It is also a great spot from which to explore the Costa Blanca and hinterland. We have no hesitation in recommending their home for anyone looking for a relaxed stay in comfortable surroundings.

We were warmly welcomed and all had a very enjoyable time. The villa was extremely well equipped and furnished. The pool was a lovely luxury with plenty of loungers. Everyone enjoyed the crocodile. We would really recommend this villa for a relaxing holiday.

We loved the pool and spent the majority of our time on the terrace and in and around the pool. As it was August the weather was beautiful. Towels are not included and there is an extra charge to rent the towels from the owners. There is a submerged spiral staircase in the living area and attention needs to be given to small curious children who could be at risk of falling. The air conditioning works very well. The best bedroom is the master bedroom. All kitchen appliances work very well. The beach is 2 minutes walk away, it is a small local beach. There is a nice row of around 5+ restaurants about 10 minutes walk away (some uphill) in the village. They face onto a playground which the children loved and we spent some lovely lively evenings there. We would recommend the SIngapore Garden restaurant. There is a small shop opposite the tram stop which is 10 minutes walk away. The town of El Campello is two stops away and there is a supermarket right beside the station and a taxi rank to bring shopping home cost €8. There is a promenade with a large selection of restaurants and tourist shopping. We also went into the town of Villajoyasa by taxi (€60 return) and had a very nice dinner in El Guiterra restaurant; excellent food and very friendly service.

Great house with a lot of space. Beatiful garden with a really nice pool and alot of sunbeds. AC in every room and an outside barbecue. The beaches near the house isn´t the best but that´s not the houses fault.
