casita blanca in oliva
Review Submitted: June 10, 2008
Date of Stay: May 2008
the casita was pretty much as described,being fairly basic,but rustic and in keeping with the property,the 2 bathrooms were very nice,clean and modern.maybe more or better clothing storage in the bedrooms would have been nice.the only other minor gripe with the casita itself was that you could only get very poor reception on the radio and on the tv and that unlike many villas there was no dvds left for the odd rainy day.the pool was well maintained by a nice cheerful scouser who gave us some good local info.the little path up to the villa could be much improved being uneven,overgrown a little and unlit,with the main path being used by many to let their dogs poo anywhere. Oliva itself is a busy,working spanish town,with friendly locals and noisy teenagers on mopeds and is not overly touristy which you may need to consider if you have younger children which need entertainment at night ,the beaches 10 mins away are excellent and great for young kids though older ones may need to go furter afield where more activities are offered.the A7 is very near by (some noise)meaning that many places like Benidorm,Javea and Moraira are easily reached.overall the casita offers a good basic stay and for many will be ideal, but may not be quiet right for those who are either elderly or very young
Owner's Response: Thanks for the review. Thanks for the tip on dvds. Oliva isnot for those wanting all the trappings of tourism, and more a typical Spanish town, and I try and make this clear when booking which I find a refeshing change and more and more difficult to find these days although there is go karting, bike hire, and restaurants with traditional entertainment nearby.
Thanks again.
