Further details for this holiday villa rental in Alicante, Spain

The Costa Blanca: The 'white coast' is famous for its wonderful climate, all year round. Even the Spanish claim that local inhabitants live up to 10 years longer than in the rest of Spain! It is named after the wonderful almond blossom that is the first of the year and is a beautiful sight in January through to March. Facilities have improved dramatically in the last few years, particularly with the addition of motorway routes directly into the area & the growth of excellent, all-year round, golf clubs. Anyone who is looking to buy a property in the area should let me know at time of booking as I can arrange for an inspection of properties (new or resale) during your stay, through an English speaking local company, at no extra cost

The Local Area: Catral is a typical Spanish village just inland of the bright, blue Mediterranean Sea (8 Km or 15 minute drive to Guardamar beach). The AP7 Motorway is 2km from the villa, far enough not to be heard and near enough to get out and about. All the main attractions on the Costa Blanca can be accessed from this villa with a car. Nearby is Torrevieja, a bustling town based on an old fishing village. It has all the amenities needed for eating, drinking, shopping & generally having fun in the sun! At first Catral seems to be a tiny village, but you very soon realise that it is anything but small. One of the many villages of the Vega Baja, Catral Alicante has a population of approximately 6,000. Its original Moorish name was Al-Quatrullat which was given to an irrigation channel leading to Orihuela, and passed close to the village.

Golf: There is the tournament golf course of La Finca (5 minute drive) at Algorfa. There are other top class courses in and around the area. Within 25 minutes drive there are three 18-hole championship courses. These are at Campoamor, Villa Martin & Las Ramblas. Other courses are currently under construction. If you would like more information please contact us and we will give you the web sites for the local courses.

Other Activities: Sunbathing!

An Excellent Villa

Pogmoor Gang Barnsley, South Yorkshire
Review Submitted: August 13, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
A villa with plenty of space for a party of 8. The villa was very clean and well equipped. The pool is huge and kept spotlessly clean by Dave. The villa offers total security with excellent facilities for self catering (although the food at Landon's Bar in Catral is so very good and incredibly cheap that you don't really need to get the pans out). There is also a very good Indian and a Chinese restaurant in Catral that we all enjoyed. Car hire is essential but the villa does have bikes for quick trips into Catral. Although our sons are 17 and 19 there was plenty to keep them occuppied with the pool table, pool and bikes and they also enjoyed the go-karting in Torrievieja.
I think that the 'disappointed and disgruntled' review customers must have stayed in a different villa to us because we all thought it was an excellent value villa that I would definitely recommend to friends and family!!

Can't believe the last review

Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We stayed in this villa in May this year for 2 weeks. The first week we stayed was just the 4 of us (My wife, myself & our 13 year old twins) & the 2nd week we were joined by our friends & their kids ( the villa is perfect for 2 families, loads of space & bathrooms so you can do your own thing without getting in each others face).
All costs were obvious & up front & even with cleaning etc was really good value (believe me, we spent weeks looking on the web).
The villa is amazing, all brand new & clean. The grounds (almost football pitch size) are completely surrounded by a 7ft wall, electric gates & intercom system, really safe for little ones. The pool is brilliant, lit underwater at night and really really clean, no smell of amonia or painful eyes if you stay in it for hours.
The BBQ area is hardly mentioned in the description, huge, double garage size with it's own bathroom, we kept on planning to go out but never quite got there!
Catral is ok with a nice church square with lots of bars etc. Several british bars but also lots of spanish ones with really good "Menu del dias" also a decent curry house & chinese who deliver.
Our second week was spent with lots of BBQing, pool competitions (never quite got the table level) & midnight dips in the pool.
The agents were cool (we also had a problem with one of the bikes but they sorted it next day).
Beach at Guardama (20 minutes away) beautiful with flags, lifeguards etc. Days out at Terra Natura, waterparks etc at Benidorm only an hour away & really good fun.
Summary. Villa is fantastic, will definitely re-book for next year. You need a car. Fantastic family holiday with lifetime memories. Don't know where the people who wrote the last review were getting off, this is a bit of paradise & you feel like kings & queens staying here. Not suitable for 18 to 30's, not enough going on in town without making a half hour drive to Torrievieja. This is a villa for relaxing, reading books, cycling, walking, chilling, swimming & families. Kitchen very good, aircon amazing, just set a temperature & unit heats or cools accordingly. Brilliant time, kids didn't want to go home.

Beware unexpected costs

Review Submitted: July 20, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
This property is quite nice but is situated on an estate of many identical villas, this is not explained in the description. Also we were charged extra for cleaning - this has always been included in the rental in the many previous villas we have rented over the last 12 years. We were also charged a breakage deposit 6 weeks before arrival, returned 2 weeks after return; we have never been charged a deposit before although it is usually mentioned in the conditions. Neither has anyone ever asked for a deposit up front, always on arrival and payable on leaving the property, usually in the form of a cheque which is never encashed. The main bathroom stank of drains on our arrival and the agent said this was typical of Spanish villas. However, this was not our experience over the years so we undertook to clear the shower drain which was clogged with hair and congealed soap; the smell then almost disappeared although there was still a smell from the drains outside. The cooking utensils had not been cleaned when we arrived and the frying pan was coated with the remains of someone's breakfast egg - not a pleasant surprise. We were told it is not the owner or agent's repsonsibility to clean these items - we strongly disagree! The outside furniture was dilapidated and not fit for purpose (i.e. unfit for use when eating outdoors). We expected much better and were seriously disappointed with the service we received. The advertised bicycles all needed repair before they could be used. We carried out the necessary repairs to make two of them usable and did indeed use them often thereafter.
On the positive side, the kitchen was very well equipped, the pool was excellent and the beds and lounge furniture very comfortable.
We would not recommend this property to friends
