This is a truly tranquil setting for couples, friends, and families seeking peace and relaxation in the beautiful countyside of Murla, yet only 20 mins from many glorious blue flag beaches and resorts, including Calpe, Moraira, Denia, Javea, El Portet and Benidorm. The charming, authentic local village of Murla, has a Spanish bakery and bars and is just a couple of minutes walk away. The surrounding area is very flat and easy to get around. A short walk away, spectacular sea views across to Denia can be seen. The sports centre is a stones throw away for tennis, large pool with children's pool and playground etc, and serves local tapas and a daily 3 course menu with drinks for around 8 euros (£5.50). Eating out is incredibly cheap and there are dozens of good restaurants to chose from in the area (list supplied on arrival). This holiday would also be fabulous for cyclists, mountain bikers, and ramblers due to the beautiful mountains around this famous Jalon Valley region.

Travel
Airport taxis can be arranged for £55 each way, but car hire is highly recommended and can be as cheap as £9 per day! Alicante and Valencia airports are the nearest airports. They are about the same distance (100km/60 miles), each are about an hour's drive on the A7 (AP7) motorway. Alicante is the larger of the two and has probably more flights available. Valencia is smaller which gives it a certain charm. Flights to each of these airports are available from many UK and European locations.
Distances
Jalon is a 5 min drive with a superb famous Saturday market with bars, bodegas, supermarkets, restaurants, Banks etc. The local pretty village of Murla has a restaurant, a Spanish bakery with fresh baked bread daily, a pharmacy, a couple of bars, large communal swimming pools and children's playground.

Guest comments
Just a few words of appreciation following our return from a fantastic week's holiday. We were so delighted with the welcome on arrival and to see the trouble Andrea had gone to. After such a long day the beers in the fridge were particularly well received! After daylight we could properly appreciate how peaceful the location was. It was just what we needed. I felt that I felt that in reality it was even better than it looked on the website. The combination of peace and quiet, the pool, very comfortable furnishings and the TV made us and especially Griff, our son, feel really at a home from home. This had been the main difficulty in the past when when had taken holidays which had upset him becaue there was so much that was unfamiliar to him. So many thanks for allowing us to stay at your wonderful home and many thanks to Andrea for being so helpful and caring. R. Edge, May/ June 2007
