About this property

CASITA LEON. Tranquil mountaintop 2 bedroom villa, private pool, views.

This comfortable villa is set in a quiet urbanisation on a mountaintop overlooking the Mediterranean. The 180 degree views from the front of the villa are quite stunning - all the rooms benefit from this. To the rear is an enclosed totally private 9x5m swimming pool where one can relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. All rooms have hot/cold air conditioning making the property suitable for year round rental. The villa layout ideally suits two couples rather than children. One bedroom is located down three steps from the lounge, the other is accessed from an external staircase. Quirky but interesting. The lounge, diner and kitchen are open plan. The villa has been refitted with quality furnishings and is fully equipped to make your stay a real pleasure in an unusual and relaxing environment.

Please note: due to the quiet location, external staircase to the double bed bedroom and unfenced pool area this is not suitable for young children.

Peaceful getaway with a view

If you're looking for a place far from the business of the city, this is the place. On top of it, you get the most wonderful view over the valley and the sea.

Perfect house

We had a very nice week at this place. The house was exceptionally clean and organised. You can find everything you need. The pool area is totally private and away from other eyes. The owner was very friendly. And the view was amazing.

A Slice of Paradise

It would be hard for this review not to descend into a litany of superlatives. The house was amazing. Scrupulously clean, fantastically equipped and Michael as a host was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The peace and tranquillity was truly unforgettable. We will definitely try to return in the future.

Excellent!

Fantastic getaway, v quiet location, everything you would possibly need was provided. Lovely pool, great for a peaceful relaxation. Ideal for two couples but probably not suitable for a family, but this is stated in the description. Michael v. friendly host who kept his distance after initial intro. Only suggestion would be a one-way see-thru screen in the downstairs bedroom when you open the curtains - nearly got caught out dressing/changing when Michael walked past a couple of times, and we didn't want to have to keep the curtains closed.

Paz y tranquilidad.

Esta es nuestra tercera vez y, como las otras veces, todo fue perfecto. Este último año, tanto para mi mujer como para mi, ha sido familiarmente doloroso y complicado y ha sido aquí, en la villa, donde hemos conseguido la paz y la tranquilidad que tanto necesitábamos... La villa está perfecta, con todo lo necesario y lista para su disfrute. Limpia, moderna, bien mantenida y cuidada muy discreta, sin ruidos y con mucha privacidad. El patio es muy bonito y espacioso, es un placer el poder estar ahí tomando el sol o leyendo un libro rodeado de sus numerosas plantas y flores... La piscina es enorme, está muy limpia y es una gozada el poder estar dentro de ella y nadar un rato. Las vistas son preciosas, los amaneceres preciosos...Vamos, que no me cansaría de echar flores a la casita... El dueño, Michael, un tío muy majo, amable, discreto, educado y atento a lo que pudieras necesitar. Una buena persona 100% legal que te da absoluta privacidad...Muchas gracias por todo, un abrazo tanto a ti como a tus perros Leyla y Zak.

Een heerlijke vakantie

We hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad in het huis van Michael. Hij woont naast het verhuurde huis, zorgt ervoor dat er niets ontbreekt maar is tegelijk ook zeer discreet. Het huis heeft alles wat je nodig hebt en een fantastisch zwembad. Ook de omgeving is mooi en je kunt vanuit de urbanisatie overal snel zijn. Een auto is wel nodig. We komen in 2025 terug!

Es stimmte alles, was in der Beschreibung der Unterkunft angegeben ist. Wir könnten uns sehr gut erholen, Michael war immer da, wenn wir fragen hatten. Im übrigen können Reisende aus Europa direkt mit Michael Kontakt aufnehmen, um den Betrag in Euro und nicht in GBP zu bezahlen. braucht man nicht unbedingt zu kaufen, die Anlage hat einen zentralen Filter.

Remanso de paz.

Tras un complicado año, aquí encontramos el remanso de paz que buscábamos. Tanto la villa como la ubicación es perfecta y en ella encontramos la paz, relajamiento e intimidad que tanto necesitábamos. Villa muy bien ubicada, con buenas vistas, tranquila, sin ruidos ni de coches ni de vecinos. Todo estaba decorado con buen gusto, muy limpio, ordenado y con todo lo necesario para disfrutar de una estancia sin preocupaciones. El patio junto con su enorme piscina, un auténtico lujo, lleno de plantas y bonitas flores...Un auténtico placer el desayunar allí escuchando a los pájaros y, si madrugas un poco, también poder disfrutar de los coloridos amaneceres que puedes ver tanto de la habitación como desde la entrada de la casa. Y que decir de Michael, el propietario, perfecto. Muy educado, atento , amable, discreto y siempre dispuesto en ayudarte en caso de necesidad. Una muy buena persona, y el amigo que a todos nos gustaría tener. En resumen, que si la vida nos lo permite, sin dudarlo regresaremos el año que viene. Gracias por todo.

Soleil avec maison exceptionnelle puis tapas

Lieu ideal pour le repos accompagné de silence et tranquillité. Nul doute que Michael y contribue pleinement. Totalement disponible et courtois afin de rendre le séjour serein et sans stress. Nous nous sommes baignés dans une piscine toujours bien entretenue par Michael. Et la maison n'est pas en reste puisque rien ne manque afin de cuisiner, et les chambres sont équipées d'excellents lits et de salles de bains privées. Les seules préoccupations sont de se demander quoi visiter et surtout de dénicher de nouveaux bar a tapas. Magiques les tapas a Dénia. Et lorsque vous revenez a la maison , c'est devant le panorama époustouflant de la vue mer que vous prenez votre dernière...tisane ! Une adresse que nous recommandons sans aucune réserve.

Estancia buena :)

La estancia generalmente fue genial! Hubo unas visitas nocturnas un poco incómodas, en las que un par de ratitas venían buscando comida al jardín (algo entendible con respecto a la ubicación que tiene, está en mitad de la montaña), recomendamos no dejar comida por la zona exterior para evitar su reclamo. Todo está limpísimo y muy cuidado. En nuestra opinión, comparando con otros alojamientos vacacionales en los que hemos estado, no le falta detalle para que tú comodidad sea óptima. Repetiría sin duda! Ah! Las vistas son impresionantes, y la tranquilidad que se respira en la zona también.

Fantástico

Alojamiento maravilloso, muy limpio y muy bien cuidado. La vivienda tiene todo lo que te puedas imaginar y necesitar para disfrutar de la estancia al 100%. En las fotos se aprecia que la vivienda es muy bonita pero en vivo la vivienda es mucho mejor y se aprecia lo maravillosa y fantástica que es. Si se busca paz, tranquilidad e intimidad, este alojamiento es perfecto. Es un placer el levantarse por las mañanas y poder disfrutar de las preciosas vistas que ofrece, ver amanecer, desayunar en su bonito y tranquilo patio rodeado de flores y plantas, poder disfrutar de su enorme piscina...Relajación total.. El propietario es muy simpático, atento, educado, discreto y siempre dispuesto a ayudarte en caso de necesidad. En resumen, una maravilla en un entorno de película.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Murrell

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Michael and I am the proud owner of the casita that you have just looked at. I also live next door. I moved to Spain 12 years ago initially on a 'try it and see' basis. My plans changed and instead of moving to Javea I was offered a property inland. My initial disappointment changed the moment I arrived. The countryside and the people are fantastic. Here I can live in the real Spain without all the tourists! If I want that, a quick drive takes me to the bustle of the coastal towns. So my move to this property was based on the pleasure of living in the peace and quiet, but all the other options available to me within a few minutes drive.

So whilst I am here to welcome you , I am on hand for any help or information you may need (while being aware of your need for privacy).

Why they chose this property

The North Costa Blanca (Marina Alta) provides the very best environment for healthy living and natural beauty. The joy of seeing the stars at night as there is no air pollution to hide them! The mountainous landscape with rich green valleys. The heady scent of orange blossom. The Med and its sandy beaches. The quaint little Spanish villages. The food, the wine and the people................. OK I could go on, but this really is one of the most beautiful parts of the world and my decision to move here was very easy. Living on top of a mountain enables one to enjoy the breathtaking vista of the sea, mountains, valley, orange groves and the little villages clinging to the foothills. With the changing light the view never ceases to change. It provides a real 'get away from it all' feel.

What makes this property unique

It's an interesting mix of peace and quiet, but without being isolated. Take in the views and decide which part of this beautiful area to go and see more of. This villa feels different from many others because it's the right size for a holiday home - space and comforts, but no unnecessary wasted space. The private enclosed 9x5m pool is, of course, a real pleasure. But should you feel the need for a bigger pool the Pool Bar just down the road is freely available, or it's just a 15 minute drive to the sea. The Pool Bar also provides snacks and evening meals as well as a tennis court!

With the unspoiled countryside and mountain ranges this part of the world is perfect for walkers or cyclists. There are organised trips available or one can make own arrangements.
