Moraira holiday villa

We really enjoyed our holiday here. The owner, Alex, was very helpful and all the information we had in advance was accurate. The villa is clean,light and modern, with a good kitchen and bathrooms and very well equipped - the only thing we missed were reading lights in the bedrooms. The garden and pool areas are excellent - quiet and not overlooked, a pool big enough to swim in properly, plenty of space for sunbathing or children to play, an excellent barbecue area and of course the boules court - great fun!
It's on a quiet residential estate, about 15min walk to the nearest supermarket and bakery, recomended by Alex - delicious bread and cakes! - more like 30min back. It's not a particularly attractive walk though, and walking back from town at night on unlit streets isn't easy, so we got taxis (7 euros) when we didn't want to drive.
Moraira is small and low key - not high rise and boisterous - but had more than enough bars and restaurants to keep us busy. We had several meals of tapas, seafood and paella in the old town which were all of a good standard. We felt the restaurants in the newer part of the town were lacking in atmosphere and catered more for British tastes, which we didn't like (although others we met preferred them). For a different night out we had an excellent meal at La Soleil - modern cuisine, smaller portions but full of flavour and exquisitely cooked and presented - well worth the 25 euros for 3 courses and would have been twice as much at home.
If you like walking, the coastal path is easy with beautiful views. Inland the countryside is lovely with villages to explore but you need proper footwear. We'd recommend a trip to Valencia but only the brave should drive into the centre! We'd suggest driving to Xeraco - free parking all day and regular trains to Valencia reduce the stress!
The Moraira beaches are pretty but busy and lifeguards don't always allow swimming.For a larger stretch of soft sand try the beach near Oliva. Javea is lively but very built up and busy.
The people we met who were living near the villa were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the agency staff on site were not - if you need anything be prepared to stand your ground! This is a minor point though, not a problem. Overall we had a very relaxing holiday, and could easily have spent every day by the pool. We would certainly recommend this accommodation. We have rented many villas , and this is one of the best we have visited in Spain.

We have stayed at this lovely villa with our 3 teenage children twice and have already booked to go again next summer! Casa Al Mar is a lovely villa situated in a very quiet area with sea views but still within walking distance of the town and beach. The villa has recently been extended and updated to provide an even higher standard of accommodation. There is a beautiful pool and the villa is surrounded by a lovely mediterranean style garden and includes a boules pitch and barbecue area. We can highly recommend The Indian Palace for a great meal and Jimmy's for ice cream! The local supermarket Pepe la Sal provides everything you need and Jamon Jamon is great for croissants and pastries. All in all this villa is as close to perfect as you will get for a great family holiday.

We spent a number of years renting this villa over Christmas. The villa is always clean and well maintained. The heated pool is excellent and can be used even on the coldest days. The villa is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac which is ideally located near the upmarket town of Moraira. Moraira has a number of excellent restaurants and supermarkets. The beach is perfect for families with small children.
