This was our first time visiting Spain and Monte Pego didn't disappoint.
The villa was very spacious and is kept in a very good clean condition. The views from the balcony and pool area are stunning, with panoramic views of mountains, orchards, rice fields, the local towns and the sea in the distance.
The bedrooms were a good size all with their own bathrooms, the beds were comfortable and each room has air conditioning which did come in handy. The living room was a god space to all sit and relax listening to music or watching films, we took a laptop with us to watch films on the TV.
The pool was big enough for relaxing and playing games, while allowing you to view the scenery form the edge. With the warm weather and the sun hitting the pool, we spent most of our time there.
Having the barbecue area situated to the pool was ideal, we used the barbecue most nights and it was a nice area to eat and socialise.
The owners were very hospitable, from the first email asking about the villa to arriving at the villa Oliver was very helpful and patient with all our questions. They provided us with local knowledge of the area and good places to visit, such as the farmers market in Jesus Pobre which supplied us with food for the barbecue and grappa (a spirit made from the seeds of grapes, very potent).
Monte Pego is quite remote from the surrounding towns, which makes it a nice getaway to relax.
The villa is ideal for self-sufficient travellers who have a car, with the port town Denia only a couple of miles south and Pego to the north both being nice places to visit. Valencia was about an hour’s drive from Monte Pego on the Auto Pista and Benidorm a similar distance, which I would definitely recommend visiting if you get the chance.
The only downside to the remote location was the cost of taxi’s to and from the local towns, Denia was around £30 each way. But this wasn’t an issue we found, as we were happy visiting different places during the day and coming back to the villa to enjoy our time with friends/family in the evening.
This is a beautiful villa in a lovely part of Spain, with two very nice and welcoming owners and I can definitely recommend a visit if you get the chance, we would definitely return if we get the chance.
