Beautifully clean villa
Upon arrival at the villa we were pleasantly surprised how clean everything was. We have stayed at many villas in the past + they have not always been cleaned well. The directions provided by Michelle to the villa were helpful and accurate. The location of the villa is along many windy roads up a hill but all the roads were residential and safe. There is a very small supermarket nearby along with a restaurant and pharmacy but they are not walkable (at least 30 mins there and longer back as all uphill). All the bedrooms had a/con and plenty of hangers. The twin room didn't have much room for hanging clothes as the wardrobe was for folded clothing only. We were welcomed with a small beverage package of coffee, milk, water, beer, wine and soft drink. This was definitely needed after travelling for several hours. There are many big supermarkets all within 15/20 mins drive (Masymas, Lidl, Mercadona). We dropped our cases and headed off to do our shopping straightaway. Upon returning we headed straight to the pool which was very welcoming and very clean. The outdoor pool room contained a few lilo's, seat and sunbed pads, cool box, beach umbrella, beach chairs and a bats and balls. There was also a 2nd fridge freezer which was very handy for all the drinks and icecreams. There was only one parasol stand for around the pool and this was a little damaged but we realised that it wasn't necessary anyway as it was impossible to keep a parasol up due to the occasional high winds which just took the parasol up in the air! However, the wind was a relief as it was very hot and there were other shady areas to sit. We used the outside gas BBQ a few times which was nice and easy to use and it was lovely to sit outside and eat under the shade. The kitchen in the villa had everything that you needed including a few condiments etc, washing up liquid, cloths, shopping bags, bin bags and all sorts of crockery and glasses. In the lounge there were plenty of box games and cards etc to keep you occupied in the evening or TV which had UK digital available. There was also a CD player, but we didn't use it as we had spotify on our phones and brought a google mini speaker with us. Although we spent many days in the villa we did visit Denia Castle and ate at the Marina. We also headed to the Flea market in Jalon which was interesting. Arenal beach near Javea was lovely but very busy so go early to get parked. Lots of restaurants there also. Highly recommend
