Vista Alegre

This was our second stay in this villa having also stayed in 2017. It was as good as we remember. The location is perfect as it's on the rocky sea front for a great sunrise view and then only a 5 minute walk to Arenal beach or 15 minutes to the port. Arenal beach was busier this year and a lot of the restaurants required booking but it was still easy to find somewhere to eat. It might be different in the height of summer. Apparently there were a lot of over Euro countries that had their half terms the same week this year. The villa is well equipped and has several relaxing seating areas. The BBQ area is great too and even includes a gas ring for cooking Paella. The outside area is great for kids with a Wendy house, plastic climbing frame, astroturfed area, table tennis, pool and a large telly with streaming services. We would recommend flying into Valencia as it's much smaller than Alicante so getting through the airport and collecting your hire car is much quicker and easier. We will definitely stay here again if our party size is 8+.

The pool is lovely but as it's shaded a lot of the day and not heated, it can be a little chilly. It didn't stop the kids playing in it most of the day though (October but still high 20s most days).

The place is just fantastic , huge , but well laid out . A real family "home" and in a fantastic location right on the beach . The villa is a real "eye-catcher" as can be seen by the number of people who consistently look at it as they pass by . It truly is an A1 property and caters for every aspect of a holiday.

Can't think of anything we did'nt like ! I suppose if i was being extremely "picky" I would comment on the number of light switches required to opertae the lights , but hey , this IS being picky !
