We stayed as a group of 9 adults at the villa to attend a wedding/turn that into a holiday in August 2016.
The villa is nicely decorated and spacious. The pool area is particularly nice and a lovely touch. Having your own pool is a lovely luxury.
The villa is situated a short drive from xativa town, there were lots of bars and restaurants around and loads of supermarkets. You would definitely need a car though, but there is ample parking at the villa. We had 4 cars and it was no trouble at all. Dan, the owner, was really helpful with recommendations of places to eat and offered to book tables for us. In fact, Dan was great at answering any of our questions as we kept in contact over whatsapp and he actually lives on the land in another house. Was very handy!
The villa is very well stocked with cutlery, plates etc, and it was lovely to have access to a dishwasher with that many people as we ate in most evenings.
For us the only small things that stopped the villa being a 5* was that there was only air conditioning in the lounge areas. This was lovely but it meant it got very warm in the bedrooms overnight, even with a freestanding fan on.
The only other thing we missed was an area where we could all sit together to eat in the evenings without moving furniture around, which we were reluctant to do because we didn't want to cause any damage.
We would also recommend that you check the arrangements for cleaning the villa, which I believe is not included in the price. We had a misunderstanding as we left which Dan was really good about and sorted quickly, but very nearly left us paying more than we had anticipated.
Overall though we had a great stay and a lovely holiday and would recommend this villa if you're looking for somewhere in this area of Spain.
