Photos and Description of this Middle Segura valley & Murcia holiday villa 3 Bedrooms,1 ensuite, bathroom, lounge/diner, kitchen, sleeps 6

Villa del Olivo is situated on the edge of the small Spanish village of Las Casicas, not in an urbanisation. It offers tranquility, friendly neighbours and your own private pool. Sit on the balcony or terrace, sipping wine, and enjoy the spectacular views or sunsets. There is a BBQ by the pool for those al-fresco meals or join the locals for a drink or a meal in the village bar. Nearby is the small town of Fortuna with its famous Spa. The city of Murcia is a short drive away with beautiful architecture and excellent shopping. Several golf courses are within 1 hrs drive, including Villamartin and Altoreal. Drives of 1-11/2 hrs will take you to lovely beaches, resorts such as La Manga or historic towns. This well equipped detached villa allows you to enjoy a stress-free holiday and our local agent lives close by to help you or give advice. The area is very unspoilt and typically Spanish and offers a great variety of walks in the surrounding Sierra de la Pila. A great place to unwind.

Additional information about rental rates

  • WE HAVE REGRETFULLY HAD TO INCREASE OUR RATES FOR NEXT YEAR DUE TO THE LOW VALUE OF THE POUND, THE RENTAL FOR HIGH SEASON WILL BE £500 PW. Cleaning and laundry at the end of your stay are INCLUDED in your rental rates and will be DEDUCTED from your invoice. Cleaning and laundry charges are 90 Euros for up to 4 people and 115 Euros for 6 people.
    We would appreciate it if you could pay these direct to the local agent before departure when you hand the keys back.
    Rates for stays of 3 weeks or more can be negotiated with the owners. Please contact us.
    We are sorry but we no longer take long term bookings, neither can we accept short winter bookings. It just costs so much to heat the villa up to a comfortable level before clients arrive
  • We regret that we must ask for a returnable deposit of £200 for keys and damages. Also a 25% deposit is required, the balance to be paid 8 weeks before departure. Please visit our web site to download a booking form.

Notes: The clear mountain air and the height (at 300m above sea level) means that it is not as humid during the hot summer months as it is on the coast. We find that this is particularly beneficial to asthma sufferers. We do provide 4 beach towels so that you do not have to bring your own and add to the weight of your luggage. Please let us know if you have a baby coming with you as we can supply a Spanish 'Graco' type travel cot, a high chair and a small buggy. (The buggy is best for short people only!!) You will need your own cot sheets.

Further details for this holiday villa rental in Middle Segura valley & Murcia, Spain

Activities such as Golf, Walking and Painting: The villa is within easy reach of several golf courses, the nearest being Altoreal in Molina de Segura. This has the advantage , at the moment, of being quieter than the ones near the coast and local enthusiasts often prefer to play here where it is easier to book. Full details can be found in the villa. There are some beautiful walks, to suit all abilities, from the villa or you can drive further up into the mountains to one of the National Parks. For the adventurous, a trip up the Pico de la Pila, with it's meterological station at the peak, gives stunning views, even as far as the sea on a clear day! You can drive up (very narrow and twisting mountain road ) or walk. You can see the view on our website. The mountin is the one with the 'golf ball' on the top. The stunning scenery and the ever-changing light makes the area ideal for artists.

Spa: Banos de Fortuna is a thermal spa about 15 minutes drive from the villa.It has 2 stunning pools which are fed from natural hot water springs. Here you can be pampered with various beauty and health treatments or just book a swim in the pool. The camp site next to the Banos also has the same hot spring water pool and is more child friendly. For a small charge you can spend time there, using their facilities. Full details of both are in the villa. A second Spa is available at Archena, about 30 mins.away. For families with small children, a more relaxing afternoon can be spent at the pool in the campsite next to the Banos. For a small charge, you can spend the day there, with the same warm waterthat supplies the Spa but also with slides etc. for the children

Ambience: Everybody who has stayed in our villa has said how relaxed they feel after a few days. The village is not a tourist spot, but home to both Spanish and English families, who will be only to glad to help you and our agents live close by if there are any problems. We aim to enable you to have a stess-free holiday and 'wind down' completely. There is a village bar within walking distance. Fortuna, 10 minutes drive away, has a weekly market and several good restaurants.

Other Activities: Spa, ideal for walkers, cyclists, naturalists and painters

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
Summer 2006: Every thing was fabulous - villa clean. The only thing I would really change is the lack of shade around the pool, so perhaps more brolley’s around the pool. We tried the paella from the village bar - very good. A fabulous place for relaxation. Liz W.
(Point taken, will be more sun brolley’s next year, Jane A)

We had a great week at the Villa del Olivo. The villa was spacious and beautifully kept and the pool and gardens were lovely. It was hard to drag the children away from the pool to explore the surrounding countryside and towns but we did and found your recommendations in the folder excellent. The fiesta was a bonus as it was nice to see a real traditional Spanish village fiesta, not to mention the one in Pinoso as well. A. McH.
(The village fiesta is at the beginning of August, Jane A)

Re the agents, Maria and Gerald. 'nice to meet such a warm and friendly couple, the way you made us feel so welcome and almost part of the community was really appreciated. M

Wonderful villa with amazing views.

Review Submitted: September 13, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We stayed for 2 weeks in August and thoroughly enjoyed our time here, the villa far exceeded our expectations and the photos on the website just didn't do it justice. The large pool was fantastic and well maintained.

Maria and Gerald were both friendly and helpful without being overbearing. Maria very kindly arranged for a welcome pack and ordered an indian takeaway for us in the first week.

My only slight negative was the quality/condition of the (green) loungers, which kept falling to pieces and after a couple of days broke completely. Fortunately Gerald & Maria kindly lent us two of theirs and we were told that replacements were being ordered so hopefully this wouldn't be an issue in the future.

If you're looking for a place to relax and chill out or a base to explore the 'real' Spain then this is the place for you.
We would definately book this villa again.

Villa Del Olivo in March

Review Submitted: April 6, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
We are a family of 5 (45,42,16,14,10) who have just returned after a great 9 days in Las Casicas. a fantastic villa with great local agents (Maria and Gerald) who helped us with anything. It is great to have peace and security so close. The Fortuna Spa's at 38 degrees make this an ideal place to have a summer holiday anytime of the year. Fortuna is a great place and still very Spanish and very friendly. You must eat at the SPanish restuarants they love your custom and are so welcoming. 2009 we can't wait. Thanks 'The Awfully Nice But Dim' team who won the local quiz!
