Villa Casa Rural la Montana 1 with pool, terraces and Wi-Fi

Pros: Very friendly host!

Pros: We had a great time at Jose's place. It was really clean and offered everything you would want, especially with young children (3 months, 1 yr and 3yrs). A pool, tennis court, large BBQ place and all the peace and quiet you want on a holiday.

Pros: We stayed with 7 adults and 5 kids between 1 and 9 years old and had a great time!Jose is very friendly and helpful. The place as great facilities with swimming pool, playground and tennis court. A huge garden for the kids to play around in. The scenery and views from the place are amazing. Highly recommended and hope to return soon.

Pros: We were a group of 8 ladies on a walking/hiking holiday, and chose the villa because of the number of rooms - we wanted a bed each. Jose was a wonderful host - very good at communicating before and during our stay. His English is very good (better than our Spanish)! He lives nearby and can pop in to sort out the slightest query. The property was sparkling clean and very spacious and modern. Bed linen and towels were lovely and fresh. The showers all worked perfectly and the shower rooms were also sparkling clean and modern. Compared to most Spanish villas, this one is finished to very high standards and is extremely light and airy. The two main bedrooms have aircon units in them, but the other 4 do not. There is superb aircon in both lounges, so we left our bedroom doors open slightly to keep cool at night. You are able to leave bedroom windows open as they all have mozzie screens, but we did not really experience a problem with mozzies. We dined in quite a few times and found the kitchen very well appointed. The outside eating areas were fabulous, with stunning views from the upstairs balcony. The sunrise and sunsets over the valley were beautiful. There is a great supermarket in Chella called 'Consum' which had everything we could possibly need. Just remember that it is closed on a Sunday. The swimming pool and the sun bathing terrace were lovely places to relax after a days exploring. It was 34 degrees in early October but there was plenty of shade under umbrellas and a sail. We ate at a couple of restaurants in Chella (Casa Florecio and Pizzeria La Martina) both had similar menus but the food was amazing and incredibly cheap. We found plenty of beautiful hikes in the area - our favourite was a 14km hike from Bicorp up over the ridge and returning via the gorge floor (dry riverbed but a scramble in places. Very rocky underfoot). I would recommend a trip to Los Charcos near Quesa where there are lovely natural pools to bathe in. Also the natural pools at the Zona De Bano in Bolbaite are worth a visit and a swim. All in all a fabulous place to stay in an area that is full of natural beauty and off the main tourist trail. Five stars from us!
