Romantic Mountain Villa with River Views near Blue Flag Beaches

We loved the week that we spent in Martha and Richard's villa with our two young boys. The villa has everything you need, and the terrace is truly stunning - such seclusion and beauty are very hard to find. The pool was brilliant, a great size and we spent much of our day in there.

We found that we needed very little else to occupy our time, but did go to Kiko beach and for a swim in the river in the valley. Both were recommendations from Martha and Richard, who were very welcoming and helpful, yet unobtrusive hosts. The boys adored their two dogs Rufus and Lya, who were a delight.

This was the most scenic location we have ever been for our Summer holidays. The pictures really don't do it justice and if you are looking for relaxation, peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings then you wont find better than this.

We found plenty of things to do in the area with a multitude of hiking trails at our door step and the beaches in Gandia are not too far of a drive away. A 15-20 min hike down the mountain brings you to the Serpis river where we spent many hours exploring along the disused railway, going through tunnels, swimming in the river and climbing up to the old Moorish castle in L'Orxa. We also found the old rail a great place for going for a run as its fairly flat. For the more adventurous runner the roads back up to and around the villa are a great challenge.

The villa is very comfortable but basic and 1 bathroom between 6 people was a challenge.

Like many people before have said, the owners Martha and Richard were superb hosts and were available and willing to help anytime we needed them.

Finally the villa comes with its own resident dog, Rufus. He is the one of the friendliest dog you could meet. The kids loved him. He was always there to greet us with his wagging tail when we drove in. He liked to accompany us down the trail and swim with the kids in the river. However, he never followed me when I went for a run - wise move on those mountain roads.

We plan to return.

Coming from the West of Cumbria we live 25 minutes away Keswick in England and love the beauty of the mountains and we're thrilled to arrive at our Spanish equivalent of the Lake District up in the Mountains of Villalonga. It has everything you could possibly need of you choose total relaxation or want to travel and enjoy the excitement of Aqualandia brilliant water park, Munda Mar in Benidorm just an hours drive away. There is also the option of beautiful Gandia beach just 30 minutes drive or simply enjoy the brilliant privacy of your own pool all day in the beautiful surroundings. One thing I must say is what really made our holiday was the owners of our villa Martha and Richard who couldn't have been more welcoming from the moment we met them. They gave us just the right amount of attention and were so helpful and kind at every opportunity they really made our holiday! And their lovely dogs Rufus and Lya made our girls holiday too. Beautiful, tranquil holiday, what more could you want!

La villa Majones est un véritable petit coin de paradis. Pour les amoureux de la nature, il ne faut avoir aucune hésitation ! La montagne entoure la villa et sa piscine. Martha est au petit soin pour ses hôtes. Discrète mais présente si besoin. Nos 2 filles de 6 et 9 ans se sont éprises de Rufus, chien de Richard et Martha, très attachant. La piscine est superbement bien exposée et on y rentre comme dans un bain ! L éducation à l environnement et au gaspillage avec les enfants prend toute sa siginication dans cette villa raccordée à l eau de pluie.
