Top quality furnishings, fully equipped, nothing lacking, great attention to detail and bi-lingual owners very friendly and helpful. Peaceful location with magnificent views. Pool is heaven on a warm starlit summer's night. Will definitely return’ - Maureen nd David. Cheshunt. UK.
" Xaymaca has been the perfect homes these past 2 weeks, a charming combination of privacy & seclusion but at the same time, at the heart of village life!. The care & attention the owners have taken to restore the house has resulted in a beautiful little "mansion" full of character and grace! Their personal attention & helpful information made our stay an unforgettable one. Patrick & Dobbin families, Scotland."
"Spent a wonderful holiday at Xaymaca, lovely house tastefully furnished & comfortable it felt like home. Especially enjoyed the pool & garden area, with the bbq, & magnificent views of the mountains!" Van Oort family.
Owner profile
Oswaldo and Jenny (owners of Mediterraneo Rural)
About the owner
After living for many years in the north of Spain, and tired of the rain and cold, my (Spanish) husband and I decided to change our lifestyle and professions and move to a warmer and sunnier region. Our idea was to set up and manage a country style holiday accommodation - known as rural tourism in Spain (a similar concept to French gîtes).
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We already knew this area well and saw the potential for starting our holiday rental business.(tranquillity, stunning scenery, nature options,walking & cycling trails, golf, horseriding, beaches, historic sites, easy access to main motorway networks linked to the rest of Spain). In short, the perfect location where there really is something to suit everyone! It took us 3 years to buy & painstakingly restore 2 rundown 19th C Spanish fincas located close to each other on the outskirts of Benimeli, a picturesque village semi-surrounded by low mountain ranges, in the lush citrus growing Rectoria/Orba valley spreading down to the sea between Oliva & Denia. Here you experience the real Spain: friendly locals, wine & tapas in village bar, traditional bakery, yet within 10 minutes of the coast!
Unique benefits of the property
