Myself and my partner were looking to book a holiday together at the last minute and by sheer good fortune we were able to get timely communication with Mike and Eleanor to arrange so quickly.
The villa was exceptional and was situated in a quiet, clean, peaceful residential area, with the added bonus of having a picturesque view out to sea affording sunshine throughout the day with lovely sunsets in the evening. Crucially for myself the terrace also has a shaded area with dining table outside which meant my partner and I could still be together comfortably without one of us being on a different level. The terrace also overlooks the pool area so I'm sure it would be the perfect vantage point from which parents could keep an eye on any children and there is an electric awning which is easy to use for shade when down at the pool.
The interior of the villa has been finished to an exceptionally high standard. It is very light and very clean.The kitchen, living room, and internal dining area are open plan and provide a very spacious area for families to relax in, with sliding doors out onto the terrace. There is also a 3D HDTV attached to the wall with DVD player which does have Sky UK and therefore football available.
The owners have done a fantastic job of making your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible and the local property manager, Lorraine, is lovely and will always be on hand to help or give advice if you need it. There is a comprehensive information book, some games, books, binoculars and WiFi which is helpful for Google Maps (P.S. Google Maps now has an offline feature which means you can still be tracked whilst in Airplane mode)
You will definitely need a car for this property, however the drive to the beautiful town of Moraira is not difficult, with parking available just before you get into the town and from there an incredibly short walk to the beach and restaurants. Moraira is probably the closest town and we ourselves didn't travel to Javea or Denia this time but they seem fairly close too. Within Cumbre Del Sol there is also a fantastic restaurant, Restaurant La Cumbre, just next to the Pepe La Sal supermarket which is worth trying out.
Hopefully this review has helped you realise what a great villa this is, and if so, I've given something back for the lovely week we spent there. Thank you to Mike and Eleanor for a fantastic stay and to Lorraine for being so helpful. We'll be back again in the near future!
