Detached, Private, Mountaintop Villa With Two Bedrooms, Pool, And Stunning Views

This luxury villa is set in a quiet urbanisation on a mountaintop overlooking the Mediterranean. The 180 degree views from the front of the villa are quite stunning - all the rooms benefit from this. To the rear is an enclosed private 9x5m swimming pool where one can relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. All rooms have hot/cold air conditioning making the property suitable for year round rental. The villa layout ideally suits two couples rather than children. One bedroom is located down three steps from the lounge, the other is accessed from an external staircase. Quirky but interesting. The lounge, diner and kitchen are open plan.The villa has been refitted with quality furnishings and is fully equipped to make your stay a real pleasure in an unusual and relaxing environment. All rooms have hot/cold air conditioning.

Please note: due to the quiet location, external staircase to the double bed bedroom and unfenced pool area this is not suitable for young children.

About Michael Murrell

Hello, my name is Michael and I am the proud owner of the casita that you have just looked at. I also live next door. I moved to Spain 9 years ago initially on a 'try it and see' basis. My plans changed and instead of moving to Javea I was offered a property inland. My initial disappointment changed the moment I arrived. The countryside and the people are fantastic. Here I can live in the real Spain without all the tourists! If I want that, a quick drive takes me to the bustle of the coastal towns. So my move to this property was based on the pleasure of living in the peace and quiet, but all the other options available to me within a few minutes drive. So whilst I am here to welcome you , I am on hand for any help or information you may need (while being aware of your need for privacy)

Michael Murrell purchased this Villa in 2011

Why Michael Murrell chose Benidoleig

The North Costa Blanca (Marina Alta) provides the very best environment for healthy living and natural beauty. The joy of seeing the stars at night as there is no air pollution to hide them! The mountainous landscape with rich green valleys. The heady scent of orange blossom. The Med and its sandy beaches. The quaint little Spanish villages. The food, the wine and the people................. OK I could go on, but this really is one of the most beautiful parts of the world and my decision to move here was very easy. Living on top of a mountain enables one to enjoy the breathtaking vista of the sea, mountains, valley, orange groves and the little villages clinging to the foothills. With the changing light the view never ceases to change. It provides a real 'get away from it all' feel.

What makes this Villa unique

It's an interesting mix of peace and quiet, but without being isolated. Take in the views and decide which part of this beautiful area to go and see more of. This villa feels different from many others because it's the right size for a holiday home - space and comforts, but no unnecessary wasted space. The private enclosed 9x5m pool is, of course, a real pleasure. But should you feel the need for a bigger pool the Pool Bar just down the road is freely available, or it's just a 15 minute drive to the sea. The Pool Bar also provides snacks and evening meals as well as a tennis court! With the unspoiled countryside and mountain ranges this part of the world is perfect for walkers or cyclists. There are organised trips available or one can make own arrangements.

We had a lovely week in Benidoleig - the Villa is lovely on the inside as well as the outside and the setting is fabulous and peaceful. We enjoyed sitting outside in the mornings and evenings and spending time by the pool in between - the inside of the property is spacious and comfortable too.

Michael is very friendly and welcoming (as are his dogs) and really helpful - the Villa is kept to a very high standard and we very much hope to return

perfect spot for a relaxing holiday

We stayed at Michael's small villa at the end of August and were blessed with fabulous weather. The villa was spotless as was the private pool. Had a very quiet, relaxing, some might say lazy, 9 days and would recommend.

Fabuleux

Nous avons passé de super vacances chez Michael durant 14 jours.

Endroit idéal pour pouvoir se reposer pleinement en toute tranquillité et sans vis à vis.

La villa est superbe et très bien entretenue avec tout le confort nécessaire pour pouvoir passer un agréable séjour.

Prestations de qualité.

Michael est quelqu'un de très accueillant et aux petits soins pour ses locataires tout en restant discret. Il habite juste à côté, ce qui est pratique si l'on a besoin de conseil.

Nous reviendrons certainement.

Merci encore Michael

Just returned on the 17th June. Had the most amazing holiday here. The villa is even better than the pictures and Michael is awesome, there if you need him but giving you total privacy too. Everything is clean, neat, tidy and well presented. The pool was just beautiful, warm and clean and no chlorine smell. Fabulous to have comfortable beds instead of hard Spanish ones, slept so well. You just can't get enough of the views from this villa, they are amazing. We loved the remoteness as it gave us peace and quiet day and night. Michael's dogs Leyla and Zac are so cute and stopped us missing our own dogs quite so much. I would definitely recommend this place, fantastic for unwinding and relaxing. Part of the charm was the drive there around the windy roads and the trips to the local shops and bar for Tapas. Thank you Michael for your hospitality.

The one thing that I need to stress (as many enquirers miss this) is to take note of my comments that I have made about suitability for children. Basically it is completely inappropriate for very young children. For older children I am happy to discuss further. Generalitat Valenciana licence number VT-462436-A
