If you are looking for something a little more discerning, a holiday away from the typical tourist trail, then this fantastic villa will provide just that. Villa Castillo will make your holiday memorable and special, be it the incredible panoramic views, tranquil surroundings, tasteful interior decor, a dip in your own private pool, or all of the above. We call it the 'wow factor'. Set amongst olive and almond groves, this area is perfect for walking and cycling or if preferred to simply relax and take in the scenery. Relax by the pool in the day and then start your evening off with a glass of wine whilst watching the amazing sunsets, this is not to be missed. The local market town of Albox is 5 mins drive, this is worth a visit especially on local market days and provides all facilities required for day to day living. There are also a number of beaches and a water park approximately a 30 mins drive. In addition there are several golf courses also within a 30 mins drive.

Guest comments
"Villa was just as you said and was in great shape when we arrived and proved a fantastic base for exploring. We all enjoyed ourselves. Villa is in a great spot and has everything you need." Jackie, Jeff & girls.
"Hi Paul & Donna, we had a really lovely time. The villa was wonderful, and very clean, we could not have asked for more! The villa was very spacious and beautifully furnished. The views were fabulous and the girls were rarely out of the pool. We will definately be back! Your description and photos were very accurate although it was even better than we were expecting." Carolin, James, Lauren & Rachel.
"Thank you Paul & Donna - we have had another fantastic holiday at your villa. Everything was perfect (although the weather could have been better than it was in April). The sunsets amazing, the town centre of Albox is great for watching the world go by - sat outside a cafe with tapas, wine and cold beer - so relaxing. The market is also worth a visit." James, Claire & Max.
