Overall: This trip was wonderful. The villa was really spacious, we were eight adults. Located just a few miles outside of town, it was really easy to get anywhere we wanted to go. The town of Xabia was beautiful and of course the Mediterranean was perfect. This property fit our needs perfectly. Enjoyed Most: We spent most of our time at the villa on the veranda. We started everyday out there for breakfast and ended our evenings with a glass of wine, with just the pool lights on. Very relaxing. Enjoyed Least: The pool was out of commission for most of our week. We missed spending time in the water. There was no guest book on site. We have always found that helpful in getting to know the quirks of the individual villa, re how to turn the gas on, etc. Surrounding Area: The scenery was beautiful. There were beautiful beaches, both sandy and rocky. People were very friendly and helpful, even though our Spanish was somewhat limited. Nearby Events or Locales: We were just a few miles outside the town of Xabia (Javea). The villa was located on a steep hill, not really an area for walking. Tips or Restaurants: We didn't realize you could rent fans from the local villa rental agency. We bought fans and left them there. They may still be there. They probably also offer umbrellas for by the pool, which gets a lot of sun. We ate out every night and the food was always wonderful. Our favorite restaurants were closer to the marina. It was a more relaxed atmosphere than the main strip, L'Arendel. There was a great marketplace in the old town every Thursday. The nearby town of Altea is definitely worth a trip. More beautiful views and delicious food. Directions: The directions to get to the villa were very easy to follow. We did use GPS to get around town and to return to the villa at night. Highly recommend this. At night it's easy to miss the turn into the neighborhood. Check In Out: Everyone we worked with was wonderful. I do wish we'd been told at check-in that renting fans and umbrellas was possible. They assumed we knew. It's possible this is common practice here, but we didn't know this.
