Great summer stay
Review Submitted: January 18, 2009
Date of Stay:
We had a terrific week here last August (family of four). The owner was very helpful in the lead up to the holiday, and the location is great, a quiet corner plot of the complex yet with a view of the sea and only a 10 minute stroll downhill into the town and the beach. Alcossebre is a little gem, no high rises, beautiful beaches and good restaurants and bars, something for all the family. We drove out to Benacaissim and Peniscola, and although the latter particularly is worth a visit, they were both uncomfortably crowded, and parking was a nightmare. Alcossebre is busy, but you can leave the car at the villa and walk down to the beach, (if you can cope with the walk back; we toned up during the week!) and there's always somewhere you can breathe. Can't remember the names of the beaches, but the second one along, (to the right of the main promenade) is smaller but less busy and equally good.
The villa was great for us; we slept on the mezzanine floor and the kids had a room each downstairs - bedrooms clean, good size, storage space, and a bathroom for us and kids was a must. Kitchen small but well equipped, and we cooked at least one meal a day there. Good old BBC coverage of the Olympics as well! There are actually two small pools available - we preferred the one further from the villa across the dividing path of the complex as it was further away from the accomodation blocks and had more seating room.
In short, we had a great stay - if you want a larger complex, pool, plenty of noise and right on the beach, this might not be for you, but for good customer service, a bolthole away from the crowds surrounded by beautiful countryside, this is ideal. We'll be back!
