My husband and I stayed for a week at this beautiful villa, we have two children and we felt, safe and secure and at home. The housekeepers (Dave & Sue) had cleaned the home to a high standard and remained in close contact throughout the stay ensuring everything was ok. The villa owners also contacted us whilst there to make sure we were enjoying their piece of paradise.
It is a quiet location, walking distance to Quesada (dirt track at top of the road) and a slightly longer walk to Benijofar (same dirt track and walk along the road or alternative dirt track). I wouldn't suggest walking these routes after sunset and us Google maps. Quesada is a town full of English homeowners and Benijofar a little more touristy but still very pretty. Plenty of supermarkets and little shops for gifts.
Quesada Aqua Park is perfect for younger children, my children (6&10) could use all of the slides and it was much cheaper than other waterparks.
A car is definitely required if you want to venture out and about, we travelled 10 minutes to Guardamar which has fabulous beaches and early morning Churros, 15 minutes to Torrevieja and 40 minutes to Cartagena a Roman Theatre in the region of Mercia. Alicante is 40 minutes drive.
The Villa has beach chairs and parasols for the beach, washing machine, and second fridge in the garage perfect for ice lollies, water and beer whilst chilling around the pool. There are plenty of sunbeds and places to stay in the shade. The pool is a perfect size, but it is deep. My children can swim and were able to use the entire pool. We took our own inflatables but there are some in the garage including a pump which saved me blowing up 3 rubber rings!
The kitchen has everything you need including plastic cups and plates for the children. We ate at the Villa most evenings as the children would be in the pool until 7pm. The TV has Netflix and I was able to sign into my account.
Although the temperature during our stay was around 35+ it was a breezy location and this cooled us down and kept the children cool.
I would definitely return to this villa and I would highly recommend to families wanting a relaxing break. Thank you for letting us be the first non-family guests at your home.
