Bill & Sylvia's " Place In The Sun "
Review Submitted: October 31, 2008
Date of Stay: October 2008
We knew the area, both inland and along the scenic coast, and used this holiday to explore a retirement home for ourselves. Our apartment catered for all our needs and the washing m/c enabled us to share 1 suitcase, a cost saving on Easyjet! A beautiful tranquil base with warm friendly hosts. A hire car is a must, as it is a 15 minute walk downhill to the coast road and a further 15 minutes to the better supermarket. Thanks Bill for the introduction to Juan, the estate agent, and the six viewings, but as we told you, nothing measured up to the build quality and finish of your own villa. These kind comments don't mean you can increase your rates. We will expect a special price when we return for a longer stay perhaps. We can thoroughly recommend a scenic drive to an area we had already visited, Castell de Castells, population 500, a favourite base for walkers. The mountain scenery is breathtaking. An ascent of one of the nearest peaks to a ruined castle will reward you with fantastic views of Guadalest, the lake and nearby villages. A 4 course menu del dia with a pleasant shared bottled of Rioja will only set you back 9 euros each at Antonio's bar " Herbas ". Suggest you take a stroll around this quaint village afterwards and perhaps visit the museum. Bill and Sylvia, we will return!
