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.

ACCOMMODATION (maximum 6 including children)

All on one level, the villa comprises:

• 3 double bedrooms – one king-size, one double, and one with two singles.
• Bathroom with shower, sink, WC and bidet.
• Second en-suite bathroom with shower, sink, WC
• Large, comfortable lounge with wood-burning stove, TV (Spanish only),
video/DVD/CD/radio.
• Large, well-equipped kitchen with full-sized electric oven and gas
hob, microwave, washing machine, fridge/freezer.
• Good size private swimming pool (8m x 4m - not just a plunge pool as in some properties!) with separate children’s section and ample terracing on all sides.
• Large covered porch to the front of the villa and open terracing on both
sides giving fantastic panoramic views.
• Good-sized barbecue.
• Car-port providing shade for 2 cars.

About Castalla
Castalla is in Alicante province, one of three provinces that make up the semi-autonomous region of Valencia. Its a 30 minute drive from Alicante airport and the Costa Blanca.

Castalla is a small market town of some 8,000 inhabitants. It lies in a wide T-shaped valley facing south east and is surrounded by the interlocking sierras of L’Arguenya, Maigmó and Catí. The steep streets, small squares, and narrow alleyways give it the character of a typical Spanish village.

Castalla has always been traditionally an agricultural region, specialising in olives, vines and almonds, which occupy 86% of the total cultivated area. Local wine and olive oil can be bought in the local co-operative.

Nowadays Castalla’s population is active in industry (toy manufacture, furniture, construction materials and metal work) and tourism. Local bars and restaurants are renowned for their quality and good service and attract large numbers of visitors.

Language
Most of the locals speak valenciano (a dialect that has its roots in catalan) as their first language, but they all speak castellano (Spanish) as well. Few people speak English, so youll find it useful to bring a basic phrase book with you. But dont let that put you off - the locals are very friendly, and sign language goes a long way!
