Being familiar with this area I chose the villa for its location, views and outside space. It delivered on all fronts!
The pool is fabulous and a great size, well maintained and the recent addition of a seating plinth by the new entrance steps is the perfect place to enjoy the sun and views from the pool after a swim.
There are lots of different areas to sit and relax at the property either outside (or inside), enjoy the views and switch off with plenty of shaded areas from the sun when needed.
The villa looks across to mountains and below in the valley are almond trees, vineyards, orange groves and pine trees. It is a lovely private location and very peaceful. Both my husband and I were totally relaxed and enjoyed life at our own pace.
If you are a walker or a cyclist its a great location to enjoy these pursuits. The local Jalon town has some cafe's, bars and restaurants if you want to kick back rather than get active! Given its rural location, star gazing at night on the veranda it totally amazing!.
Jalon village is a few miles down the hill with a well stocked local supermarket which is really handy. No need to go too far. On the outskirts of Jalon there is a larger area of retail shops including Lidl etc.
If you want to visit the coast the villa is about 30 minutes in land and accessible to lots of beautiful parts of the Costa Blanca which is well worth while (Altea, Calpe, Javea, Denia), but there are lots of lovely traditional small villages to be enjoyed locally if you prefer.
Christian was an excellent host right from the initial booking process to the end of our stay. As we flew in late Christian had kindly stocked the fridge with some drinks and breakfast items which was very thoughtful. He was was easily contactable. He also offered access to another villa on our last day as we were flying home late. This meant we could check out from the villa for cleaning but have access to another villa for 4 hours to swim, have lunch and shower and change. This was really appreciated.
If you are looking for a relaxing quiet location with plenty of outside space in a tradition Spanish home, this is a perfect fit. Christian is an excellent host and I would definitively recommend.
