From arrival to departure a perfect stay. A n ace property in a privileged location.

Where we ate: Lunch at mas De Curto,brilliant, a real find, all reviews proved accurate. L'Estany beach, near L'Ametllja, an excellent lunch at the xiringito (beach bar). El retiro, just outside Xerta, a Michelin star restaurant. Incredible food, surroundings and experience. Be very hungry when you go, especially with the tasting menu, and helpful with any dietary changes. L'Ampolla area beach, a light lunch at a taperia called Just Alex. Only been open over a month. But very tasty food. In the village: small bar Catreig, surprisingly very good. Rosa Maria restaurant, again very tasty, The Xiringito restaurant in the village, quality was super. Hotel Pepo, probably the most adventurous of all the village eateries. Again, go hungry for a great experience. Beaches: , L'Estany, near L'Ametllja, longish, clean. One of the many beaches at L'Ampolla, very pretty, blue flag, not too busy. What we did: Eloi got us on to a private tour of Benifallet, an eye-opener, the old church, the old honey mill, tales of Moors, civil wars and river floods. Las cuevas De Benifallet, wonderfully cool inside (18C), compared to 44C outside. The guide was good. Excellent, worth a trip. Benifallet boat trip. It is very informative, the commentary is in Catalan, everything is, but some Spanish and English meant we could understand. Beware of resin leaking wooden seating, it ruins clothes. We spent a couple of hours in Tortosa, the biggest and busiest local town. Quite old, the cathedral is worth a visit. The green way bicycle excursion, electric bikes are on offer. You go past fab scenery and tunnels, thoroughly enjoyable. Kayaking, a great half day experience, breakfast, swim and guide provided. Well worth it. The fruit and honey seller will recommend buying the kayak and boat trip tour together, from the Tourist Office, saves some money. Arriving late Saturday, we had pre ordered some provisions, worth it, as san Juan festival meant no shops were open til Tuesday! The village shops are not numerous, but there’s a butcher, gift and a corner shop, Suma, an Aladdin's cave. Had it not been for the heatwave, we might have ventured more, but 46C was overwhelming, so stayed by the beautiful pool, the scenery and the air conditioning! Every other day we BBQ’d. All facilities, suited us very well.The property, and the surrounding land was maintained by Eloi, he volunteered taking us to and from restaurants, there are no taxis. We are v grateful! Thanks to David y Angeles

This was our second time here in the previous 3 years and fishing was even better. 50 catfish during the week topped with fantastic views and pool at villa. For a relaxing stay you can’t beat this place.

We stayed at El Figueral 25th August to 3rd September. Situated in a remote stunning location with panoramic views over the river Ebro it was an ideal location to enjoy the Spanish sunshine and not worry about disturbing any neighbours!! However the highlight was the fishing from the private pegs on the river bank. We had 'unfinished business' with the cat fishing having previously had a poor visit in 2016. This time the fish were plentiful, Tom and Nick both broke the 100lb barrier with 126lb and 130lb respectively. backed up with amongst several other cats at 68, 49, 45, 39, 36 and several around the 20lb mark. Also a number of carp were caught best in at 22lb common. Thoroughly enjoyable holiday. Thanks to David and Angeles for their hospitality and a special thanks to the attention and support from Eloi. Many thanks Nick, Tom, Janice, Kelly, Grace and Lauren

Enkel het visgedeelte en algemene bereikbaarheid is een beetje onveilig

Helt enligt hur David & Angel beskrev. Watch out for the Black flies

From our warm welcome from David and Angeles we knew we had found a special place. The villa is stunning and the surrounding area is so beautiful. Our thanks to Eloi for his help and attention during our visit. The visit to the Marvellous Caves is exceptional. We were lucky in that we were the only group visiting on the morning we went and it is an incredible experience. Sadly we didn't get the trip on the river as the boat was only running at weekends. The kayaking on the river gave our son a lot of pleasure and trying to photograph the numerous herons and kingfishers gave us a lot of pleasure. We even got to see the hoopoes which we don't have in England. The shops and baker in Benifallet were very good - the bread was delicious. Nearby Tortosa had the bigger supermarkets if you wanted them. Quite simply, in many years of villa holidays in different countries, El Figueral is top of our list. Thank you David and Angeles.

Absolutely gorgeous location. Well equipped plenty of space good value for money.

super holiday would definitely come back again. So relaxing and chilled. Loved the fact the sunbeds were still free at 10.00 am. The village had everything u need but we drove the the big supermarket to stock up. But drove to village everyday for fresh bread.

We stayed at the villa in August with another family and we were all completely blown away by both the location and the villa itself. It truly felt like a bit of luxury and I dont think I could ever take enough photos to do it justice! The view is breathtaking and the house, pool and gardens make the most of it. The house felt like a home and we spent many lovely hours by the pool, and fishing nearby. We had 4 young children with us and they especially enjoyed the pool and walking down to the river, to fish. David and Angeles were perfect hosts, answering many random questions and kindly booking tables for us, when our Spanish let us down (!). We also can't speak highly enough of Eloi, the gentleman who looked after the house- he was also extremely helpful and accommodating, booking our kayaking trip for us. We had a wonderful week, in a very special location and will definitely return.

La casa es muy comoda y bien equipada, y la terraza excepcional con una vista magnifica sobre el rio Ebro. Estuvimos muy satisfechos del alojamiento y del lugar, muy tranquilo. La piscina esta muy bien mantenida por Eloy, que siempre estuvo ademas muy disponible para todas nuestras preguntas y pequenas necesidades durante la estadia. El pueblo de Benifallet es simpatico y acogedor. Volveremos con gusto a este lugar y lo aconsejamos vivamente.

El Figueral is well appointed and spacious inside, although we spent most of our time outside. It is high above the river with broad, sweeping views of the water and the agriculture on the other side. Very secluded and relaxing, with a great pool, and we were very well looked after by Eloi.

We had a lovely holiday. Incredibly peaceful, stunning position overlooking the river, lovely pool which was well taken care of daily. We canooed on the river, fished (didn't catch anything but then we are amateurs), went to the beach, cooked on the barbq, amongst other activities....and star gazed lying in the pitch black by the pool...shooting stars every night and millions of stars. Amazing. David and Angeles have a fab house and I would love one day to return.

We were a family of 10 gathering to celebrate a significant birthday so expectations were high. The birthday girl's heart's desire was to laze by a pool in beautiful surrounding and this finca ticked all the boxes. The view from the pool area, high above the river, is truly spectacular, particularly at sunset. I photographed the view from every angle possible and have already framed photographs to remind me of happy times. It was also fascinating to look down at activity on and around the river through the binoculars which the owner has made available at the finca. The property itself is very well equipped- we ate at home every evening as one of our number is an exceptional cook- fantastic paella, all the ingredients purchased at the local supermarket. Late night watching DVDS from a very well stocked library- Twelve Angry Men enjoyed by all. Shutters on all windows and guaranteed silence at night meant we all slept really well. Breakfast outside on a gorgeous patio after an early morning swim. There are some lovely local beaches although we preferred to be poolside. Still playing ball at 9pm with the pool lit up as it got dark and the water like a warm bath. We followed the recommendations of our host for some late lunches in the local village- Sunday's lunch started at 4pm. Great food, excellent value. Cava Thursday at another local restaurant was properly celebrated followed by a riverboat trip passing our ' home' looking spectacular from below. We joined the party for a week only, the birthday girl and her husband were lucky enough to spend a fortnight and founds lots to explore in the area though if , like us, your main aim is to hunker down in a beautiful place, cook, eat delicious food, drink great wine, this property is perfect in every way. It helped of course that temperatures were in the 30s every day and not a cloud in the sky.

Just back from spending 2 weeks in this lovely home. We were 2 families sharing and we had everything we needed, with plenty of space for everyone. This home was well equipped for a large family and we loved swimming in the pool with great views across the hills and river. So glad we opted for this property, and Benigallet is a beautiful village. We sampled the hospitality in the Casel (great prices) enjoyed a 3 hour 'lunch' at a local restaurant recommended by David and Angela, which was great value at 12 euro's per head, and a lovely evening in Rosa Mari's. Everyone was so friendly and happy to help us translate in our broken Spanish. Nothing was too much trouble for Elio, who looked after the property and us. We will miss those stunning views

David & Angeles finca is the perfect place for great fishing, relaxing and enjoying "real Spain" way of life. The swimming pool's water is pure and soft. The villa is really very comfortable. A dream... Our best summer break since many years. Hughes & Colette

Pasamos unos días mi mujer, yo, y unos amigos. El trato exquisito, la casa en perfectas condiciones, muy luminosa y con unas vistas sobre el rio Ebro espectaculares. Despertar en una casa como esta es un lujo. Además pudimos hacer algo de turismo rural, piragüismo y disfrutar de su gran piscina. Y no podemos olvidarnos de la pesca. Un sitio fantástico para disfrutar de este deporte. Muy, muy, recomendable.

What a terrific week, being a bit of an angler Caught a personal best Catfish of 124lb. The house & pool were fantastic with breath taking views, The estate was so nice to walk among the olive & orange groves, but the evenings in the village at the end of the drive were something else, Impeccable Restaurants & a wonderful village hall were the whole family could snack & have a cervesa. Definitely going back THANKS!!
