RECENT GUEST COMMENTS
• Thanks for a fantastic week. Wonderful house and fantastic weather. We all managed to relax straightaway! Great day trip to Valencia, and good market in Castalla. Thanks for your great hospitality.
• Our "home away from home" has been the comfort we have had. Sharing the warmth of the Spanish sun, culture, food and people has made this holiday so special. To Pat and Alun our new friends, may our lives come together again. Your generous hospitality and warm personalities will always be remembered fondly.
• Dear Pat and Alun. We have had the best holiday we could ever hope for thanks to you and this wonderful place "Vista Catí".
• Very enjoyable stay in a splendid country house.
• Great holiday in a beautiful house.
• We had a great week here in Vista Catí! We went climbing, the kids enjoyed the pool - and we hope we can come back next year.
LOCATION
If you want a taste of rural Spain, a million miles from the Costas (in reality only 30 minutes drive away!) then this is the place for you.
This spacious Spanish country villa with its own private swimming pool and landscaped gardens is situated in a rural area just outside the old town of Castalla with its medieval castle that dominates the surrounding valley. The villa stands in a 1½ acre plot with its own olive grove and stunning views out to the Catí, Maigmo and Penya Roja mountains.
Ample terracing around the house and pool lets you choose sun or shade, breeze or no breeze, at all times of day. Theres a full-size pool that you can swim in (not just a plunge pool as in some properties) with separate childrens section. The whole area around the villa is fenced in with lockable gates front and rear, making it a safe environment for a family holiday.
The local town (Castalla) is within manageable walking distance (about 1 km) along paved roads. It boasts a number of good restaurants and bars, a couple of discos and supermarkets, as well as numerous smaller shops; there’s also a lively market every Saturday and Tuesday. It is within easy driving distance of national parks and a number of waymarked walking trails in and around the mountains. The airport and Alicante town with its sandy beaches and wide variety of shops are just a 30-40 minute drive away. If you want the attractions of Benidorm, its only about ¾ of an hour away.

• 3 double bedrooms – two king-size and one with two singles.
