Fantastic stay
The Villa is in a great location, very quiet and relaxing with great views from the terrace, it is also very well equipped with everything you need during your stay. The pool is great. The hosts John & Maggie are brilliant, they made us feel very welcome and were really helpful.

Beautiful views, beautifully maintained and equipped; a gem
The photos of this beautiful villa do not do it justice. It has more than enough room for four adults, is well equipped throughout and has the most glorious 270 degree panorama view. The pool is very well maintained has chairs, table and loungers. Inside and out it is spotlessly clean. Highly recommended for a very relaxing break.

Spacious relaxing villa with beautiful garden and pool
We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Casa Romero - we were welcomed by John the owner who was very friendly and helpful. The villa is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. This included a welcome pack to get us started and also shampoos, washing and cleaning products plus cooking oils, herbs and spices in the cupboards. The view from the Naya is nothing short of spectacular and must be over 270' wide - there was always something to look at and time just flew by! The garden is filled with many exotic plants and is beautifully maintained. The pool area is great too! It was reassuring to know John was on hand if any problems occurred (none did of course!) but he was mindful that our privacy was paramount. He has a lot of local and horticultural knowledge. Next time we visit we will definitely join one of his organised walks taking in some of the sights. He was also kind enough to give up his time to take us for a short tour of some of the local villages which we thoroughly enjoyed. The booking process was very straightforward and Maggie answered any queries promptly. We had a great time and would have no hesitation in recommending this villa. We look forward to returning soon.

Beautiful villa and welcoming hosts
We had a fabulous time at Casa Romero and John and Maggie made us feel really welcome and helped by getting some essentials in ready for our arrival. The villa is beautiful and the pool was fully utilised by us as the weather was superb. It was lovely exploring the surrounding villages and towns with beautiful beaches. We won't hesitate to visit again. Thanks John and Maggie for letting us stay at your wonderful villa!! Graham and Sue Halesowen

Fantastic property, very impressive, great pool, incredible views.
Well equipped. The owners have built a beautiful home, with great planting and architectural features. The hill climb in the car is interesting on first visit, but easy after that! Thanks John and Maggie

Wonderful, peaceful and relaxing holiday
The villa is spotlessly clean both inside and out. The owners John and Maggie have provided absolutely everything you need from linens to washing up liquid!! John and Maggie are very helpful and respond to any requests very promptly. We were provided with a welcome pack which was gratefully received! It really is like staying in a home from home and I would highly recommend this villa especially for people needing to unwind and just get away from it all!! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Exactly as described. Stunning views, great facilities and good hosts.
This is a wonderful property for a relaxing and peaceful holiday. Swimming pool is very clean with plenty of space for 'chilling' and the Naya (terrace) is fabulous for coffee in the morning and evening drinks! Watching the sunset each evening with a glass of wine is a great way to wind down! John is a perfect host providing a welcome familiarisation of the property and then being very responsive to any query. This is a property that we will definitely try to return to one day in future.

Casa espectacular - dueño muy especial y dificil de comprender
La estancia estupenda, pero la convivencia con el dueño resulta complicada, no sabe español e ingles solo lo básico, por lo que muchas veces lleva a malentendidos y enfados que no deberian existir

Gastvrij ontvangst met boodschappenpakket. John en Maggie hebben het prima voor elkaar, zeer behulpzaam, reageren snel bij vragen. Goede tips mogen ontvangen voor de omgeving en restaurants. Altijd een schaduwplek op het balkon, zwembad ligt perfect in de zon. Kortom een heerlijk verblijf!

Super Villa für einen erholsamen Urlaub
Das Haus liegt an einem Hang, dadurch hat man von der Terrasse stets eine traumhafte Aussicht. Die weiter entfernte Autobahn war zwar zu hören, ist aber nicht übermässig laut und war am zweiten Tag vergessen... Der Pool ist gut gepflegt und sauber. Uns hat es im Haus an nichts gefehlt. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, sogar die Kochmesser waren scharf (was wirklich selten vorkommt!). Haus und Austtattung sind liebevoll gepflegt und sauber. John ist die Liebenswürdigkeit in Person und hat immer einen Tipp parat, falls erwünscht. Die Privatsphäre war stets gewahrt und die Corona-Verordnungen wurden pefekt eingehalten. Das Haus können wir uneingeschränkt empfehlen, wir kommen bestimmt wieder!

Vacaciones relajadas
La casa es lo que promete, un remanso de paz y tranquilidad. Está en un alto y tiene una carretera con bastante pendiente pero bien asfaltada. Está ubicada cerca de la población de Oliva que tiene de todo. Es una población bastante grande. Hemos pasado 10 días disfrutando de la casa y de la piscina. Volvereíamos sin ninguna duda. En un apartamento, que se encuentra en la parte inferior de la casa, vive el propietario pero han sido muy discretos, no estaban casi nunca y no les hemos visto si no les hemos llamado. Falló el 2º día el wifi y se esforzaron en resolverlo; finalmente, solucionado el problema, nos devolvienon parte de lo abonado por el perjuicio generado por la averia. John y Maggie habeis sido unos anfitriones excelentes. Muchas gracias por hacer de nuestras vacaciones un grato recuerdo.

rustige villa met prachtige tuin en uitzicht
Op berg gelegen met bijzonder uitzicht op zee. Lekker zwembad en groot balkon. Zeer verzorgd en compleet ingericht. Meubels iets gedateerd maar verder wel alles aanwezig. Rustig en met privacy. Strand en plaatsjes dichtbij.

Do not book, Nicht zu empfehlen, No recomendado, Zoek verder, Non recommande
Don't book this property! Boek deze accommodatie niet! Nicht zu empfehlen! No recomendado! Non recommande! Initially everything was fine as previous reviews stated. The property is beautiful. But when it comes to the owners, especially the husband who is living beneath the property please watch out. He has a very bad temper. No privacy, the guy was sneeking around the property, shouted and did not want anybody to rent his selfbuild home any longer, but he had no choice since there is an ongoing homeimprovement project on their appartment below, that is not yet finished. Do not think that you will have access to the amenities that are stated. Airco not allowed more then 15 minutes prior bedtime. Not even if it is 31 degrees inside. Do not put on the lights at the pool. The double bed is too small. Insectscreens at the sleeping rooms but not in the doors of living room. So not able to have the doors open in the evening to cool off. Much muskitos. But main thing: the bad temper of the owner, his wife was ok but she left after a few days to return to the UK. You are not renting this house as a service to you or giving you a nice holiday, no you rent it only for the owners benefit. Never experienced this before. Don't book and better look for something else!! Schrecklicher Eigentuemer, wir wuerden es nie mehr buchen! Boek dit niet, we zijn kortgeleden daar geweest voor elf dagen en het was verschrikkelijk omdat de eigenaar helemaal niet wilde dat we daar nog waren omdat ze continu nog bezig zijn met verbouwingen en dat moet ergens van betaald worden natuurlijk. Kennelijk hadden alle verbouwingen al af moeten zijn maar was dus niet zo. De eigenaar is extreem, je voelt je echt niet vrij en je wordt als een kind behandeld en je zult geen gebruik kunnen maken van de voorzieningen die worden vermeld. Het was zelfs zo erg dat wij (gezin met 2 oudere kinderen) besloten om een dag eerder dan gepland weg te gaan omdat de eigenaar helemaal door het lint ging nadat we de vorige dag een lamp vergeten waren uit te doen. Het was verschrikkelijk. Nu hopen we natuurlijk op een gedeeltelijke tegemoetkoming maar hebben geen schijn van kans. Dus boek dit niet en zoek alsjeblieft verder! Overigens hebben we vaker via deze site huizen geboekt en dat was allemaal prima, zowel het contact, betaling en verhuurders eigenlijk nooit problemen mee gehad. Dus laat dit je niet ontmoedigen. Maar in dit geval, verschrikkelijk dus gewoon even verder zoeken. Fijne vakantie.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar 2020
We are very sad that these guests do not appear to have had the same experience as the majority of our guests - as seen in previous reviews. Prior to arrival they were very aware that we live on the property, and they stated this was not an issue. Particularly as we are well aware of the need for privacy, so we normally leave the villa by 1000 (and usually closer to 0800) and do not return until after 2300. We were actually away from the Villa for two nights while these guests were on holiday. We run a meet and greet service to pass on tips and tricks for getting the most out of the property - they did not like this but had they engaged they would have had a better understanding of the villa The air conditioners are very efficient and so we recommend that they only need to be put on 15 mins prior to bed to cool the rooms - we do not state that they cannot be used for longer. We also advise to keep the blinds drawn on one side of the Villa to keep it cool, as the sun is very strong on that side. Again this advice was not taken. The pool lights were on from the 2nd night, and the other light which they refer to is actually 8 lights, and they are are around the outside of the villa and so not required when sitting inside or no the Naya. I am sure in today's day of global warming they would not leave their outside lights on unnecessarily. The property is advertised with a double bed so if they feel this is to small they need to look at properties advertising King or Queen size The comments about our attitude are also odd as John was invited into the Villa for a drink! We responded quickly to all of their requests. We explained that we invest the rental money to improve the property for our guests - and they appeared to be quite interested. This years income we plan to use to build a summer kitchen so that our guests can BBQ safely in this hot, very dry weather. This family chose to leave a day early. They have received their full deposit back. Up until the night before they left they had appeared to be having a good holiday and had not voiced any issues to us which we had not responded to.

Beautiful house, great view
We spend a short break (one week) in Casa Romero and we are not disappointed. First surprise was the warm welcome with wine etc in the fridge and bread, so it was not necessary to go straight to the supermarket for the first day needs. It was too cold for the pool. We did eat al fresco every day, even when we need a coat on 1 day. The terrace is beautiful with a stunning view. In a one hour drive you are in Valencia (or Alicante when you take the wrong highway driveway). For the beach you need a few minutes. For us it's clear this is not the last time we spend our holiday in this area (and Casa Romero). Thanks to Maggie and John.

Nous réservons cette villa ..l argent est débité immédiatement. J envoie un message au propriétaire pour lui demander la possibilité de faire le Check out plutard dans la matinée...à notre grande surprise il nous informe qu'il a loué la maison à quelqu un d autre. On l aurais jamais su si on a pas échangé avec lui pour lui demander une info. Trois semaines écoulées nous ne sommes toujours pas remboursés . Un manque de professionnalisme impressionnant
