Summary of reviews
Stunning villa with spacious rooms, beautiful views, and well-equipped kitchen. Enjoyed the peaceful location, heated pool, and outdoor activities. Tim was responsive and accommodating. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.
5.0 / 5.0
Remote, peacefully tranquil with an excellently maintained pool. The views from the huge patio are exceptional. Take mountain walks straight from the front door or just relax for a while and listen to the countrysidw that surrounds you. Bar la Carmen, an authentic Spanish bar (1/2 mile to the road) is excellent but do try a little Spanish, they appreciate it.
The host, Tim is easy to contact and Carlos is local should you need anything more. We've been 5 times!

5.0 / 5.0
We had a fabulous time at the Villa . It is remote so don’t expect lots of entertainment on the door step so if your looking for pubs and clubs it’s not for you, we especially loved the pool which had awesome views of the mountains
The rooms and Villa were ample for our group 2 adult couples and two teenagers . The mattress was firm but comfortable. No air con other than fans but the villa was cool enough at night for it not to matter and we had day temps of 35-40
Tim was easy to communicate with and we had no problems getting in or leaving . . We did a few day trip and stocked up on supermarkets with food and Vino. we will def come again . Wi-fi is limited so don’t expect to work away from home . That suited us though .as we all connected with time together
Great summer getaway perfect weather comfortable villa with all you need.

Apart from the road to the home itself, we all were super happy! It was big enough for 14 adults, had enough space and a big big outdoor space with a great pool and possibilities to fine together.
Cooking is a bit complicated with the kitchen‘s limited tools for such group sizes. We would wish for bigger pots and a dishwasher as it cost lots of time and water to wash per hand for so many people.
Also we could not find a way to turn on all the outdoor lights but it was beautiful nonetheless!!
The pool is in great shape and very refreshing, and gives you a great feeling to swim
in the mountains. The outdoor area was our favorite area in all of the property, plenty of space and just fun overall.
Grocery shopping is fine, you find everything you need in Ricote (15-20 minute drive) or in Cieza (35 minute drive) if you need more specific things.
We would wish for locks in the bathroom doors though :)
Last but not least: Tim is a great owner who responds very fast, is uncomplicated and friendly!
We would love to come back another time in a year or two!

Beautiful villa with lovely sunsets every night. The lovely swimming pool was still warm in October and the pool area is very spacious and private. The house is well equipped and was comfortable for our large group. Would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful getaway in the country in a beautiful location.

My wife and I have had an excellent week. The property is in a perfect location with amazing views and is very comfortable. This is the third time staying here and I can not rate it highly enough. The owner was very helpful and generous- all the way through the booking process and during the stay, nothing was too much trouble.
5.0 / 5.0
We stayed at the villa in August 2023 for 2 weeks. There were two families staying- we had a fantastic time. The pool is amazing and the sunset is breathtaking. The villa is a good size and was big enough to accommodate 9 of us. The owner is always on hand when needed and responded to messages very quickly. We went during a very hot summer and it was uncomfortable at times in the villa, even though Tim brought another fan for us during our stay- more fans were needed.
We did find the villa hard to find and the dirt track to the villa is very narrow and bumpy. We would have liked more instructions on how to work the pizza oven and possibly wood provided for this would have been appreciated.
We visited Bar Carmen which is a 10 min walk and it was lovely, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was amazing! We enjoyed the mountain walks which are at the start of the villa.
The local town of Blanca was beautiful and we enjoyed many days/evenings there, swimming in the river. Blanca has everything that you need.
Overall we had a fantastic time and would recommend the villa to people who are wanting a peaceful holiday in a very remote area with a fantastic pool.

We had an amazing time at this beautiful villa. The views and sun sets are simply breath taking and we must have taken over a hundred photos!
Direct from the house there are some lovely country mountain walks and great cycling around the windy roads. We did trip to bar del Carmen for a local Spanish experience which is a 10 minute stroll down the track. They don't speak much English but we're very friendly. About 35 minutes away is a fun water park and a decent golf course.
The house had everything a family needs for a peaceful and relaxing stay away from it all. The pizza oven is great fun and there are two bbqs which we used most days.
The owner told us he had recently refurbished the property and installed a brand new kitchen which certainly looked new. The bedrooms are simple and clean and the temperature inside the house is cool, even when we had 33 degrees outside.
We spent most of the time in the swimming pool and bar area which everyone enjoyed. Have already re booked as we didn't want to leave. Thanks for a great stay!

What a fabulous location and villa! We had a lovely time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The villa is spacious with a large living area and comfortable bedrooms but the outside space is great. The views, particularly during sunset, from the terrace are spectacular. The villa is at the start of a great hiking route with even more views to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this villa.

This villa could be wonderful but has got run down. A little bit of time and money needs to be spent on it and it could be gorgeous. The views are spectacular.

Stayed for the whole of October with various friends and family at different times. Weather was great but pool a bit chilly for us women although we did venture in a few times. Men and kids were in all the time. Lovely rural location with hiking trails on the doorstep.
Tim was brilliant as one fridge packed up and within 2 days a new one was delivered and installed by Carlo (pool man).
Overall a brilliant month with quality time together for everyone.
Thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful family holiday.
2.5 / 5.0
The location is very quiet, peaceful and the views are stunning. Walk out of the door onto tracks to take you directly up into the mountains. The farmhouse is basic but adequate and to be honest in the summer you will really be outside on the patio or by the excellent pool.

Prima huis met zwembad op ontzettende rustige plek
Op loopafstand zat 1 restaurant maar die ging de meesten dagen om 15 uur dicht. De woensdag gesloten. Voor andere restaurants en boodschappen moet je naar Blanca. Dit is een half uur rijden. Het pad naar het huis is een beetje hobbelig en stijl. Je moet een goede auto hebben. Helaas was er geen parasol op het dakterras. Dan kun je het grootste gedeelte van de dag er niet zitten. Zwembad prima. Geen Wi-Fi en heel slecht bereik. Voor rustzoekers en wandelaars prachtig.

Meer heb je niet nodig!
Het huis is ruim en staat op een fantastische plek met uitzicht over het dal. Het is er stil en alle benodigde comfort is aanwezig. Breng een goed boek mee, maak ‘s ochtends een ochtendwandeling door het bos, zwem een baantje en rust uit bij de bbq op het terras met een lekker flesje wijn.

Wow, stunning location!!
This house is in an awesome location and is a stunning place. I wish it were mine. The owner (Tim) seems really great and was good at communication. The property is a bit rough around the edges when it comes to kitchen fit-out and furniture but it is also really affordably priced. Tim is aware of this and I think he is planning some updates.
View is amazing, pool is brilliant. We had a great time.

Fantastic location with amazing views
Away from it all, the views from the balcony and terrace are truly stunning. The property is rustic and charming with lots of space and good facilities. We loved exploring the surrounding area on foot and by car and the surrounding countryside and villages are lovely. Tim's communication was first class, sorting out some issues we had. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Prachtige heel rustige plek en groot huis op winderige plek
Huis is gezellig, prachtig uitzicht. Afgelegen maar toch met wat dorpjes in de buurt. We waren er in januari, wisselend weer met soms aan het zwembad in de zon dan weer met fleece aan in koude wind. In de avond moet de kachel aan en het is een tochtig huis.....Contact met verhuurder heel prettig, hij kondigt aan extra verwarming te kopen. In de zomer is een koel windje op die plek wel een plus natuurlijk...

Chouette séjour
Endroit magnifique, complètement dépaysé. La villa est bien équipée on s'y sent vraiment en vacances, juste dommage qu'à notre arrivée il y ai eu quelques petits couac comme le parasol cassé, des tuyaux de douche ect... mais le proprio a été super, malgré la distance il a fauten sorte de réglé cela et nous avons été gâté. Certe c'est dans les montagnes et il faut faire attention avec les autos pour monter à la villa mais c'est tout à fait possible.
Un grand merci, c'était un top séjour pour nous !

Una estancia maravillosa
En general la casa rural es un 10 asegurado, el personal muy atento, una tranquilidad asegurada y unas vistas espectaculares, una pena que las dos hamacas no estuvieran. Además, hay bastantes bichos por fuera de la casa pero es lo normal en una casa de campo y algunas de las luces y chorros de la piscina no funcionan.
Pero sin duda volvería a repetir porque en comparación con todo lo bueno, merece mucho la pena ir.

Buen sitio, buena casa, nula comunicación con el propietario
La estancia ha sido muy satisfactoria, pero la entrada fue compleja ya que la ubicación de la aplicación y la que facilitó el propietario eran diferentes, además llamar al propietario fue una desidia ya que no entendía español, .me facilito el número de un amigo español que no me cogió el teléfono... Por el resto, todo bien

Increíble se queda corto
El alojamiento es de unas características excepcionales, la casa está muy bien cuidada y limpia, se agrade lo bien equipada que la dejaron (productos de limpieza, productos de higiene, juegos de mesa...), la ubicación es ideal para relajarte y desconectar, hay muchas rutas de senderismo por la zona.

Lleva Un Jeep
El alojamiento era muy sencillo muy básico, desde colchones deformados, hormigueros en el comedor y teles sujetas por libros xq no había estantería. La limpieza bien si no fuera x las toallas con manchas amarillas, tapones de los oídos flotando en la piscina y una ducha medio arreglada con cinta aislante, el comedor y la cocina eran bastante cómodas, con 2 barbacoas portátiles de buen tamaño y horno de leña. La piscina NO es climatizada, no hay una valla para delimitar la casa, cualquiera puede entrar y salir de la parcela a cualquier hora, hay material de limpieza y para la lavadora. Juegos de mesa en inglés y pelis en inglés. Para acceder el camino de tierra y baches mejor llevar coche alto. Lleva todo lo q necesites para comer y beber porque no hay nada cerca para comprar allí.

Semana rural
La casa está bien, habitaciones amplias y la piscina está genial. Lo malo es que faltan frigoríficos ya que el que había no enfriaba mucho y el camino para llegar es difícil, está lleno de cuestas y piedras. Faltaba papel higiénico, bolsas de basura y jabón (cosas básicas) y leña y carbón tampoco había.

Spectacular View
The house is very nice, is a rural house in the middle of the mountains. The entrance to the house is difficult but possible, because is unpaved road. Tim has been caring about everything was fine.

Wonderful views
It is the end of season and the property is a little tired, needs repainting. The approach path is not good (maybe due to the recent gota fria). The pool has beautiful view over the valley. We lost water for a day (often happens in Spain) and Tim was very concerned about this and did everthing he could do to help us.
5.0 / 5.0
If you want peace, quiet and the only noise of an unspoilt countryside then this is it.
Getting there is fine, talk to the owner before to check the detail. Tim, is very helpful. The track to the farm house is rough but this is a mountain farm house and with care absolutely fine. Patio and pool - stunning. Pizza oven is brilliant. We went to Carrefour in Mercia for food other supermarkets are around.
We would go back, no hesitation.
