The villa was excellent - everything we could possibly have needed. We made good use of the pool. The location was a bit more rural than we were expecting - we did walk into town but the restaurants and bars were not great. However it was a short drive towards the coast. My reasons for not giving this 5 stars were that the Gardner arrived very early to trim the hedges loudly! There was no hot water for the shower and the bedding was not changed in two weeks. I would normally expect a discount for staying two weeks if there is no housekeeping after one week.

We liked our vacation in Dolores/ Catral area, Alicante, Spain. The villa was an excellent place to stay for our family of 5 from USA. The place was safe, clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed swimming in the pool, admired views of the mountains and lemon tree garden in the front of the house. It’s noticeable the owners love their place and make everything to satisfy their guests. It’s located in the country; therefore, you definitely need a car. We didn’t pay extra for the air conditioning usage because the nights were still cool and we didn’t use all provided electrical cards. We walked on the world known waved boulevard, visited Santa Barbara castle in Alicante, and of course, went on the beach every day. We liked La Marina beach the most because it had a lot of parking. Our family bought groceries at Consum and Mercadona stores. A very important moment. Because the streets are not marked properly ( not enough signs), it would be hard to find the villa first time. Ask a manager to meet you at some known place and lead you to the villa. Thanked to Angela who met us at gas station and led to the destination, we saved our time instead of looking for it. We think, this problem exist in all Alicante area, not only with finding this villa address. You can book this place for your vacation without any doubt!

Would have gave 5 stars but the air con let it down. I don't mind paying for air con but in August you need proper cool air and shouldn't really be advertised as with air con. Everything else was top notch with everything you need.

We had a wonderful month here, we were lucky to extend our booking while we were there, and still didn't want to leave. It has everything you need, and things you didn't know you wanted. It is so well equipped, from every cooking utensils you need to books to read. Waking up and drinking tea on the terrace, watching the sun wake up the tranquil setting, between the mountains and lime groves became our favourite time of day. Surprising how long breakfast time becomes when you feel so relaxed. The pool is massive and welcome in the heat, seating areas are all round the villa so you can follow the sun or the shade. We were lucky enough to meet the very friendly owners, who gave us lots of tips and directions, and who look after the place with obvious love, it is immaculately clean, and stylishly furnished. Plenty of peace and quiet, you can hear horses sometimes and a donkey when they wake up, and you can almost set your alarm by the local birds. We have booked again, and would move in if possible! There is only one problem with writing this review, and that is by letting people know how lovely it is, it might be booked up when we want it again 😊 Thank you Tracey and Dave for a wonderful holiday in thier beautiful home.

Booked a week at the end of August for me the wife and 2 kids (boys 5 and 2) we also stayed with family. The location was perfect for us just slightly out of Dolores but not to far to the local supermarket. We had a hire car for the week, this made things easier to go out and about. The villa is fantastic,safe and secure especially when small kids are involved, the pool is sectioned off and locked if needed. The space in the villa was great for us, a party of 7 in total and for the money we where really pleased. I would recommend this place to families and couples if you would like a quiet relaxing holiday away from commercialised Spain. Me and the family will visit again.

Overall this place is nice, just 2 faults the air con you have to pay for but this is not stated on the web site and its more than 10 minutes walk to the nearest supermarket but still enjoyed. Jeff of Grimsby.

Fantastic location. Nice and quiet and secluded yet close to everything you need. The villa was comfortable with everything you need from a self catering holiday. JK Villas were really helpful and nothing was too much trouble and i would recommend staying at this villa to any of my family and friends. Fantastic stay. Thank you
