Oliva holiday house: Oliva

My husband and I stayed here this past winter, and we couldn't have been more pleased. We booked very last minute and Dave was very accommodating to that fact. The house is located in the old part of Oliva and the awesome rooftop terrace (which we spent lots of time, reading in the sun and playing chess) overlooks the city with the ocean in the distance. The house had lots of dvds and cd's for those cold rainy evenings, and the kitchen is loaded with everything you would need. Within walking distance are great restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and a weekly outdoor market which sells everything from shoes to fresh vegetables.
The house itself was well maintained and clean. It was a little large for just the 2 of us, but it would be great for a larger family. The beach was a very short drive away, but we didn't mind because we were there in winter, and the beach was not our top priority.
My only little complaint, and its not really a complaint, because we didn't mind, was the heat. We were visiting in the winter, and with only one heater, it was hard to keep it warm everywhere but the living room. Because of the size of the house, the bathroom, which is down a long hall off the living room was always very cold, as was the upstairs bedroom which we were using. The wood burning stove was successful but created alot of smoke to start and set the fire alarms, which was great to know they worked.
All in all, totally recommend, owner is great, location great, house great. We plan to come back to Spain next winter and will definitely rent here again.

Spacious and very clean house and convenient for bars, shops and supermarkets which are all within a 10 minute stroll

We did not use a hire car and found that public transport was inexpensive, frequent, reliable and we could get to many places north and south of Oliva such as Denia and Gandia Playa and would have done more were we there longer.

The walk to the beach at Oliva Playa was an easy 45 minute walk and should be ok even for people who do little walking at home

We will definately stay again at this property
