Casa MIRA

This is a lovely place to stay. The accomodation has been recently renovated and is lovely. It was peaceful and quiet and extremely well equipped. It's in a great location with a nice pool.

As a previous guest mentioned, the bedding and bed linen were disappointing. Two single duvets on each of the double beds meant that we went to JSYK in Calpe and bought a softer double duvet cover etc. The bedrooms were nice enough although the property lacks a full length mirror. I would also suggest you will need a car if you truly want to explore the area and have easy access to big super markets and destinations such as Calpe and Alicante. The property was hard to find. It is in the middle of an extensive residential area. Both Apple Maps and Google satnav guided us in circles. As far as we could see the property does not have a CASA MIRA sign outside. Fortunately their kindly neighbour was waving to us in the middle of the road! It is also worth knowing that there is an additonal flat above the property. It was vacant during our stay but it is worth checking it out as the windows are directly above the pool and font outdoor area. We also struggled with the fact that we could not find a general instruction manual in any language. There was a file with a basic golfing map and some other bits and pieces. The microwave and hob have some idiosyncracies - if you have not used an induction hob before it was not quite as straightfoward as it seemed. Fortunately the manuals were there and IKEA print them in a number of European languages. One thing to be aware of - and this took us by suprise - is that two years ago the laws in Spain changed. In short this means that keys to rental properties must be handed over in person at both ends of your stay. An inpsection of the property takes place when you hand back the keys and before you can leave. We weren't made aware of this and having looked back over all of the paper work could not find any reference to it. You have to leave the place 'Broom Cupboard' tidy. If you're in a rush to get to the airport it can slow you up! It was a slightly weird end to a fantastic week in this lovely villa.
