"Awesome"! Everything about this villa was organized and well thought through. The owners are very friendly and cooperative. The beds were the best I ever slept in in Spain which is known for having very hard mattresses in general. The wireless internet was working perfect and we would have been lost without it. The villa has one of the best views in the area and the heater on the terrace made it pleasant to sit outside in the evenings even in November. I can highly recommend this villa to anyone who needs a rest from the hustle and bustle of life!!!

As good as was advertised! Our stay was fabulous. The view of the Mederteanean from the patio while sharing a meal and wine with my wife we be remembered forever. The area was quiet in ealy October with less than 1/3 of the adjacent properties occupied. Moraria which is a short drive away is small enough to be foot friendly and large enough to be interesting. If you are in town at 10 am on any weekday be sure to go to the fish auction at the marina. A great place to relax and refresh.

Wonderful two weeks in an amazing villa! First of all, we have to thank the owner of the villa for a great communication and help at everytime. We could sent an email if we had problems and 5 minutes later we received an answer. Thank you for this unique cooperation. According to the house... We found a great house with all the equipment we needed and the pool is very very nice. Moreover, we profited from an amazing view from the terrace to the sea. The managers of the villa looked for the pool every 3 days and a cleaning team cleanded the house once the week. Concluding, there was nothing, we could have missed in the Casa Windlenook. To put in a nutshell, we all have been very happy during this two weeks and we enjoyed our stay very much. We only can recommend a stay in the Casa Windlenook. Thank you.

Worth every Euro! Through enquiry, booking and finally staying at Windlenook the attention to detail that Eleanor & Mike give to their rental is excellent. We wanted for nothing whilst we stayed at the villa; it is equipped to a high standard with everything you will need ...plus some more. The location is superb and very peaceful; an ideal spot to chill out. There is also plenty to do and see in the area if you feel inclined.

Great vacation on the East Coast of Spain! We had a wonderful week at Casa Windlenook. The house is amazing and the views spectacular. Everything was perfect, including the weather during our week's stay. Additionally,the town of Moriara is a great vacation town with lots of good restaurants and things to do with kids. If you can tear yourself away from the villa, you won't be bored!

5 star experience on the med - what a view - what a villa! Words cannot describe this vacation experience. From the moment we found the private villa on the VRBO website we never looked back. The owners responded to our inquires in a quick and friendly fashion and with a great deal of clarity. The organization of payment and acquiring the keys was very easy. Direction were specific and easy to follow. Now to address the vacation spot. As others have said the view is fantastic. The private pool was always at 32 degress celcius. The ammenities bar none. All rooms had an amazing view. Bedrooms are very private. The kitchen has all the applicances you would ever need -including a juicer that for us came in very handy. The fireplace in the living room and upscale BBQ were great additions. We cannot say enough about how positive this rental experience was for us. The owners left a very detailed manual addressing everything in the villa as well as places to visit and where to buy the essentials (and provided some on arrival which we very much appreciated). There is a plaza within walking distance with a couple of restaurants; however, it is important to note you do need a car to see the sites and the owners in there advertisement were very clear about this. Having said that the sites to see by car in a very short distance -10 to 30 minutes away are spectacular. This is a wonderful spot to spend time and regroup as a family, group of friends or a romantic hide a way. Don't hesitate to investigate this vacation spot. As a last note the couple who act on behalf of the owners are very gracious and helpful in becoming familiar with the villa.

Amazing location with great service. We arrived to a clean and well appointed villa with no problems - the directions sent to us were comprehensive and easy to follow. As a nice touch, we were supplied with enough food for a breakfast to hold us over until we could get to the local grocery. All of the appliances, to include the fireplace, came with instructions for use and the original documentation.The pool was fabulous - if you go when it is chilly like we did, buy the optional heating and take a dip in the warm water! The owners of Casa Windlenook have a true gem in Karen - just a phone call away if there is anything you need or any question answered. Overall, this is a great villa in a beautiful location. Very peaceful and relaxing. We would recommend this particular villa in a heartbeat, without reservation, to our families and friends. Thanks Eleanor and Mike for a wonderful week on the Spanish Mediterranean coast!

A beautiful home with an amazing view! When I first contacted the owners of Casa Windlenook, they were quick to reply and provided me will all the valuable information I needed to decide on a vacation home. We requested to stay for 5 days and 4 nights, and since we were arriving past midnight on the first night, they accommodated for a late check-out on the final day. We were blown away when we arrived at Casa Windlenook. The owners really did think of everything! The fridge was stocked with necessities to get us through breakfast, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook a nice Thanksgiving meal, there were movies and books to keep us occupied, and the pool was heated! The view from the balcony was truly breathtaking. The location was perfect in the hills of Cumbre del Sol. Not too far from the town of Moraira, and there was a nearby grocery store. The property manager was kind enough to check on us to ensure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a beautiful, relaxing getaway, Casa Windlenook is the place! Don't make too many plans, for you might find yourself wanting to stay in the home for your entire vacation!

Estupenda casa, maxima tranquilidad y muy acogedora. Hemos pasado toda mi familia unas estupendas vacaciones en la casa, disfrutando de su piscina de agua super caliente. Dispone de todas las comodidades que te hacen sentir como en casa. Propietarios estupendos y muy atentos. No disponiamos de canales de television en español y en menos de 24 horas ya lo teniamos solucionado.Zona muy tranquila, vistas estupendas. Os lo recomiendo.

Wonderful time in a fantastic villa! After many disappointing and stressful package holidays we decided to try something different and after a lot of searching on the web came across CasaWindlenook. The villa stood out among all the rest but as so often happens we were half expecting to find that on arrival it did not live up to our expectations. We couldn't have been more wrong! The villa was exceptional! It was spotlessly clean and equipped to a very high standard. Each room had a remote controlled air con system and a remote controlled ceiling fan.The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed for the duration of our stay although the gas fired barbecue on the terrace got lots of use. The vista from the pool and the upper terrace is breathtaking and a joy to wake up to every morning. The pool is not huge but was more than big enough for all of us. The Pepe La Sal supermarket is about 5 minutes away by car and was very reasonable. Moraira is the closest town and was absolutely charming especially at night not too touristy and with loads of lovely restaurants. The owners Eleanor and Mike could not have been more helpful from the time of booking and kept regular contact by e-mail. To finish I would not hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone and already have. The worst part of the holiday was having to leave!

After 3 weeks of driving through Spain at a pretty fast pace, trying to see everything we could in the time we had, Casa Windlenook was the perfect place to spend our last few days... it was a totally relaxing experience, and the views were amazing! Eleanor and Mike had provided all the comforts of home, plus so many things that added to our stay. They had taken care of the smallest detail, even adding stamps to the postcards they provided at the villa:) The villa is beautiful and comfortable in every aspect. The refrigerator was stocked with enough food to keep us going until we could get to the grocery store, and the property manager (a very friendly and helpful lady) stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this property to anyone who wants a relaxing experience, away from the hustle and bustle of most hotel settings. Another bonus is that the villa actually costs less to rent than most hotels charge, and offers so much more. The villa sits high on a hill in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood, and it takes about 10 minutes to drive to the grocery store or the beach. Eleanor and Mike made finding the villa a fun experience by providing directions that made us feel like we were on a 'treasure hunt'. Once we arrived, we felt we truly had found a treasure. We will cherish our memories of our time at Casa Windlenook! Thanks Eleanor and Mike!
