Exceptional

A great villa with everything you could think of, high quality furnishing and equipment. A little remote, you will certainly need a car! The local supermarkets are a few minutes away and the bigger resorts just under an hour. We went to a wonderful festival in Mojacar and watched the sunset. A very sociable house with great spaces for everyones needs.
This property has everything you can anticipate needing during your stay. The outside and inside of the villa are fantastic enabling you to relax in the scenery around. Access to the nearby town of Albox is straight forward as well as further afield.
Absolutely beautiful villa. Our stay was amazing .
Stayed here for Christma's and new year.
Beautiful villa and in beautiful part of spain.
We will definitely be back to stay again. Maybe when a little more in season as was not much open as was Christmas but loved every minute of it. Cannot fault the villa in any way beautiful place highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning
Very hard to sum up everything about this wonderful villa. Upon arrival the grounds are immaculately maintained; together with the pool and outdoor furniture you know the inside will be just as good.
The villa provides everything including new furnishings and lots of space for a relaxing stay.
It's lovely to sit outside in the evening, watch the sun set, and just take in the fabulous setting.

Relaxing break
The villa is beautiful even better than the photos show. Huge pool. We had a lovely relaxing break. The scenery is amazing in this part of Spain. The only thing that we were a little disappointed in was the lack of good restaurants in Albox, so you need to go further afield.

A beautiful villa with a fabulous pool.
The villa was beautifully presented, clean, modern and well kept. The pool is outstanding. We had a lovely relaxing, away from it all holiday.
Although Albox is not your ' normal' tourist town, it provides everything you need, at a very reasonable price.

Bliss!
This place was bliss! Not many villa have absolute peace and quiet, but this was lovely and, when we wanted to eat out we were only 5 minutes from town. Loved the pool and the courtyard, where we spent most of our time using the BBQ and chilling. Villa had absolutely everything we needed, and some we didn't (like the ping pong!). Looking at dates for next year!

It certainly has the WOW factor !
We stayed here in October and would have no hesitation in recommending. The villa is spacious, very clean and well furnished, a home from home, complete with all mod cons you could possibly want. The outside space is fabulous, the pool is extra-large, there are great patio areas, a screened dining area and the villa has the most amazing views.
The location is perfect. We liked that it was very private but only a four or five minute drive from all the restaurants, bars and shops at Albox when we need to get in supplies or fancied a meal out. Having said that we enjoyed the sunsets at the villa on a number of occasions and just dined al fresco. We loved this place, and could not fault it. Hoping to return as soon as we can.
