Very good villa not posh just a home from home with everything you could want. Peaceful and serene surroundings if that is what you are looking for but close to all your essential amenities and an excellent manager in Armando to look after you if needed. Maxine was very helpful and quick in communication. Would recommend if you are looking for a peaceful chill out time among the olive groves. Karen and Mal

Idyllic villa
We had an unforgettable stay at this villa! The highlight was undoubtedly the spacious pool, perfect for cooling off and relaxing. The beautiful scenery, including picturesque grape vines and lemon trees, created a serene and idyllic atmosphere. We enjoyed lounging comfortably on the poolside loungers and making use of the outdoor bar. The villa's proximity to Sax town and Castalla made exploring the area convenient and enjoyable. The ceiling fans were a fantastic addition, keeping us cool during the hot days. Communication with Maxine the owner was seamless, and Armando was incredibly helpful and always available if needed. We can't wait to return!

Long stay with pets
We loved the country finally feel for this rural villa. The pool area is fantastic, enclosed with an outdoor kitchen very many happy hours spent swimming and socialising! The little Olive orchard was a pleasure to stroll around morning and evening with our dogs. We marked the villa down in description because we were assured that the fencing was secure - it isn't unless your within the pool enclosure. This meant we had to at all times watch/keep tied or on a long length of rope, our rescue dog that would escape under the loose wire fencing. We felt that some furnishings needed to be replaced including the master bedroom (we went out and bought a mattress protector) which had collapsed and was held up with concrete blocks. Marine was very sympathetic and true to her word has upgraded furnishings which we can see from the photos. We would DEFINITELY book to stay again, hopefully a new closed off area will be implemented around the villa so dogs can't get into the olive Grove and into the campo! This villa is quietly situated, beautiful countryside surrounding and close to the most friendly town of Sax with English speaking fantastic vet. Lovely owners, great welcome pack! Great for families, couples with or without dogs.

Fantastic Place to Relax Fantastic Views- Location Great for Staying Put or Travelling
The outside areas were amazing, there were so many places to sit in or out of the sun. Pool was lovely (very cold lol as not heated), clean and maintained well by Armando. Our first ever pomegranate straight from a tree!The olive trees were amazing as were all the other fruit trees and grape vines. Poor tiny frogs in pool in morning -fact of life though, we did save 2 out of 12 -Dragon flies etc amazing as was the owl on the lamppost by the gated entrance for the private road in front. Outside bar great idea, taped up the pipe on dishwasher as the nightly mice going over the top of the grapevines seem partial to the plastic outlet pipe and it leaked. Whats wrong with these creatures, all that fruit to eat lol. Cicadas lovely noise, scary when got sucked into car vent ha ha. The most fridges and freezers in a place we have ever been! Great BBQ, didn't use the outdoor paella cooker as there were only 2 of us. Table tennis/football table/trampoline need some tlc, but we didnt have kids with us so no probs. We always go to a place with a view for bringing grand children, and really this would have been perfect as fenced off cctv etc., but the fire hazard issue would make us not take children. The only exit is via the front door, all windows are barred (as is the norm in Spain), so with children would want another exit. Wet room shower great, ensuite in master room - would be great if you are not tall as you have to stand in the bath so if tall have to stoop. Wifi - pretty bad- sky box - pretty bad- netflix fine, on tv but to be fair you dont need the tv. Most of us have good data packages so we used wifi hotspot on pads laptops we brought with us. Cleanliness was not good in kitchen & lounge, but again no problem, though the amount of opened unusable stuff people have left behind in the only food cupboard needs to be dumped. We kept our stuff on work surface so the cleaner can use/chuck as they want. Ditto fridge. We defrosted fridges and freezer in kitchen so they were use able for us. Welcome package - hey this is a nice touch and we were asked what we wanted as well, but as we were not fussy we had - a pineapple, half a melon, uht milk, pkt ham, pkt cheese slices, bottle of white wine , 2 fizzy waters and a baguette. Theres loads and loads of cleaning products to use in cupboard by wet room shower. Front door - very very very difficult to lock before you put chain on. Electrics - we are all different and we dont know about Spains regs, not UK

Just what we wanted
My wife and I had been to Spain several times but this time we wanted something different. We were looking for the peace and serenity of the country with ready access to services and a beach. This house provided everything we were looking for. We enjoyed the quiet seclusion of the country where the only voices we heard were passing cyclists. We had access to grocery stores, bakeries, cafes - all of it - just a 5 minute drive away. The next town over, Elda, gave us access to Crossfit Ambit for daily workouts where everyone was so welcoming. The beaches of Alicante were an easy 1/2 hours drive away. We did some hiking in El Plano just 10 minutes away and spent hours poolside just soaking up the tranquility. This was our first experience with VRBO and it was perfect. The owner was very easy to contact with any questions and their onsite representative gave us plenty of information about the area markets and festivals. While we arrived by plane, we left via train and both the airport and train station in Alicante we very easy to navigate. Just a great experience all around.

La cass es como aparece en las fotos, las mesas exteriores con amplias pero incómodas, falta alguna sartén más, sólo hay una y grande, y el lavavajillas no funcionó. Pero quitando estas cosillas, la zona de la piscina es grande, con su bar y tumbonas, si buscas tranquilidad la zona lo tiene, y a escasos 5 km está el pueblo de Sax con supermercados, bares, farmacias, etc.
