Beautiful stay!!!

One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The journey to Rocote itself was lovely, with some great terrain and scenery. The property was so peaceful with a beautiful pool and bar area. Tim was an excellent host and very accommodating. We went to a supermarket in Blanca (20 minutes), which had a massive fresh meat counter and nearly everything we needed. There was only a couple of things I couldn’t get for our little girl,so went to the big (SUPER BIG!) Carrefour at Murcia (50 minutes).

Stunning sunsets

Remote, peacefully tranquil with an excellently maintained pool. The views from the huge patio are exceptional. Take mountain walks straight from the front door or just relax for a while and listen to the countrysidw that surrounds you. Bar la Carmen, an authentic Spanish bar (1/2 mile to the road) is excellent but do try a little Spanish, they appreciate it. The host, Tim is easy to contact and Carlos is local should you need anything more. We've been 5 times!

Summer Getaway

We had a fabulous time at the Villa . It is remote so don’t expect lots of entertainment on the door step so if your looking for pubs and clubs it’s not for you, we especially loved the pool which had awesome views of the mountains The rooms and Villa were ample for our group 2 adult couples and two teenagers . The mattress was firm but comfortable. No air con other than fans but the villa was cool enough at night for it not to matter and we had day temps of 35-40 Tim was easy to communicate with and we had no problems getting in or leaving . . We did a few day trip and stocked up on supermarkets with food and Vino. we will def come again . Wi-fi is limited so don’t expect to work away from home . That suited us though .as we all connected with time together Great summer getaway perfect weather comfortable villa with all you need.

Great house for big groups

Apart from the road to the home itself, we all were super happy! It was big enough for 14 adults, had enough space and a big big outdoor space with a great pool and possibilities to fine together. Cooking is a bit complicated with the kitchen‘s limited tools for such group sizes. We would wish for bigger pots and a dishwasher as it cost lots of time and water to wash per hand for so many people. Also we could not find a way to turn on all the outdoor lights but it was beautiful nonetheless!! The pool is in great shape and very refreshing, and gives you a great feeling to swim in the mountains. The outdoor area was our favorite area in all of the property, plenty of space and just fun overall. Grocery shopping is fine, you find everything you need in Ricote (15-20 minute drive) or in Cieza (35 minute drive) if you need more specific things. We would wish for locks in the bathroom doors though :) Last but not least: Tim is a great owner who responds very fast, is uncomplicated and friendly! We would love to come back another time in a year or two!

Lugar encantador

Estuvimos genial, a la casa le faltan algunas cosas, al ser una casa para 14 personas no hay dentro sillas suficientes y hace falta una mesa mas grande, un calentador de agua mas grande, y algunas cosas en la cocina, y al ser una casa antigua hace falta mas calefacción. En verano tiene que ser una maravilla.

Beautiful villa with lovely sunsets every night. The lovely swimming pool was still warm in October and the pool area is very spacious and private. The house is well equipped and was comfortable for our large group. Would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful getaway in the country in a beautiful location.

Super mooie villa

Wij zijn begin september naar deze super mooie villa geweest op een prachtige berg. Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien en het zwembad is super. Wij hebben 2 hele fijne weken gehad op deze unieke plek. Zondsondergang iedere avond anders en de rust is er heerlijk. Als enige aanvulling vonden wij de eettafel stoelen niet echt comfortabel om gezellig te eten. Stoelen buiten bij het zwembad waren heerlijk, we mistte wel wat lekkere stoelen om te relaxen. Verder een top verblijf. De weg ernaartoe is erg hobbelig wat maakt dat je echt een goede auto moet hebben om er te komen. Voor ons was het af en toe jammer dat we overal zo ver vandaan zaten.

Perfect week of relaxation

My wife and I have had an excellent week. The property is in a perfect location with amazing views and is very comfortable. This is the third time staying here and I can not rate it highly enough. The owner was very helpful and generous- all the way through the booking process and during the stay, nothing was too much trouble.

A beautiful, peaceful location.

We stayed at the villa in August 2023 for 2 weeks. There were two families staying- we had a fantastic time. The pool is amazing and the sunset is breathtaking. The villa is a good size and was big enough to accommodate 9 of us. The owner is always on hand when needed and responded to messages very quickly. We went during a very hot summer and it was uncomfortable at times in the villa, even though Tim brought another fan for us during our stay- more fans were needed. We did find the villa hard to find and the dirt track to the villa is very narrow and bumpy. We would have liked more instructions on how to work the pizza oven and possibly wood provided for this would have been appreciated. We visited Bar Carmen which is a 10 min walk and it was lovely, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was amazing! We enjoyed the mountain walks which are at the start of the villa. The local town of Blanca was beautiful and we enjoyed many days/evenings there, swimming in the river. Blanca has everything that you need. Overall we had a fantastic time and would recommend the villa to people who are wanting a peaceful holiday in a very remote area with a fantastic pool.

Vacances juillet 2023

Maison avec un emplacement au calme, isolée avec une piscine superbement bien entretenue. Maison suffisante pour 11 en couchage. Manquerait un lave vaisselle et un peu plus de celle-ci pour être plus à l'aise sur les repas. De même pour quelques serviettes de bains à rajouter. Pas de climatisation mais on arrive à faire outre malgré la chaleur. Gros bémol sur le chemin d'accès ou une des deux voitures touchait à chaque fois sous dessous. Pour les besoins, Carlos qui est sur place à répondu largement à nos demande. Je recommande fortement cette location. Merci

Una maravillosa casa con increíbles vistas. Todos los días se podían ver unos atardeceres preciosos. Con una magnífica piscina. Tanto la entrada como la salida fue muy simple, y la comunicación con el propietario estupenda. No hay cobertura en todos los puntos de la casa, pero en la terraza y piscina funciona bastante bien. Muy recomendable para ir con un gran grupo de amigos.

Great place to stay for 2 families with kids

We had an amazing time at this beautiful villa. The views and sun sets are simply breath taking and we must have taken over a hundred photos! Direct from the house there are some lovely country mountain walks and great cycling around the windy roads. We did trip to bar del Carmen for a local Spanish experience which is a 10 minute stroll down the track. They don't speak much English but we're very friendly. About 35 minutes away is a fun water park and a decent golf course. The house had everything a family needs for a peaceful and relaxing stay away from it all. The pizza oven is great fun and there are two bbqs which we used most days. The owner told us he had recently refurbished the property and installed a brand new kitchen which certainly looked new. The bedrooms are simple and clean and the temperature inside the house is cool, even when we had 33 degrees outside. We spent most of the time in the swimming pool and bar area which everyone enjoyed. Have already re booked as we didn't want to leave. Thanks for a great stay!

Fantastic Location

What a fabulous location and villa! We had a lovely time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The villa is spacious with a large living area and comfortable bedrooms but the outside space is great. The views, particularly during sunset, from the terrace are spectacular. The villa is at the start of a great hiking route with even more views to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this villa.

About the host

Hosted by Tim

Hi, I'm Tim. I'm married with a 4 year old daughter. Love the outdoors and outdoor sports, nature, wildlife and beautiful scenery much aided with a lovely glass of Rioja whilst watching the sun set. A big reason why we bought this farm house - it absolutely ticks all these boxes. Living in London can be hectic so this is the most perfect place to get away for truly relaxing break.

Why they chose this property

The pool has to be seen and the views whilst drinking a cold beer, wine or lemonade make this the most scenic and relaxing villa you could possibly imagine.

What makes this property unique

The peace and quiet, remote location but only one hour fifteen minutes from Alicante airport, wonderful scenery and a truly Spanish farm house experience.
