Our stay was very comfortable. The villa is spacious and in a lovely location at the top of the hill, but only a 15 minute walk into the town. We had a great time there seeing family. It really is a stunning place
We had a very nice holiday at Casita Blanca. The beautiful view was fantastic! The large swimming pool was also very nice! We did occasionally smell a sewage smell near the swimming pool and we could not find out where this came from, but it did not affect our stay! Upon arrival, the gate door was locked and my husband had to climb over the wall to get to the key boxđ. We passed this on to the cleaning lady. We had a very nice holiday! Frank and AriĂ«nne
Lovely house on a hillside overlooking Orba. Wrap around terrace where you can sit and watch the sunset over the mountains. Cozy and comfortable with loads of room. Perfect for a quiet, restful holiday.
Lovely weeks stay in this comfortable villa with everything you need for a self catering break. Pool was perfect size and the views are amazing. Villa is as you would expect an older rental property to be but was clean and perfectly equipped. Good communication with villa owners. Air conditioning was perfect for our stay as it was really hot. Thanks for making our stay for a family wedding so enjoyable.
The villa had not been cleaned in months, it had old grey cobwebs on the furniture. Dirty toilets and floors, thick dust all over. One bedroom smelt of urine, and we could not air it as the air con did not work and there was a large hole in the mosquito screen, so doors could not be opened. We did not even have a key to gain entrance to the double room in the annex. So we only had a 2 bedroom villa and not 3 as advertised. Safe was out of order. Ground in dirt everywhere outside. Mould all around the pool area, missing pool tiles. Pool had not been cleaned at all and was unusable. After numerous messages and emails to complain, a pool cleaner finally turned up on day 8. We were only there for 10 nights. No sign of any cleaner for the house despite photos of the filth being sent to the owner. Outside plastic tables filthy dirty and broken. The whole place looked like it had not been lived in for years. Just wished I could upload the photos. Nothing at all on how it is was advertised. We are now fighting for a full refund as it ruined our holiday. Even locals that we know came to see it and could not believe the state of it. It is now the talk of the town. Avoid at all costs. If you have a holiday booked then I truly hope they sort the villa out. We have been coming to Orba for years in various villas and this was truly dreadful. It is nothing like the photos at all.
Mooie, comfortabele en rustige vakantiewoning met prachtig zicht en veel privacy. Goed gelegen voor bezoeken in de omgeving.
1 opm : onderste kamer naast zwembad heeft een vochtprobleem en daardoor wat geurhinder maar gelukkig plaats genoeg in het bovenhuis.
Sehr schönes Haus und Pool. Grandiose Aussicht auf Sonnenuntergang und ca 15 min ins Dorfzentrum zu FuĂ. Alles, was man braucht im Haus. Sehr ruhige Umgebung, Nachbarschaft sehr international (v.a. brittische Rentner)
Tuvimos una estancia perfecta, la casa esta muy bien equipada y el lugar es muy bonito y tranquilo. Perfecto para unas vacaciones. Estoy seguro que repetiremos.
Nos ha encantado la casa, el lugar es maravilloso, la piscina increĂble y la zona inmejorable.
Lo Ășnico mejorable es al limpieza del lugar pues habĂa zonas que se veĂan bastante sucias.
En general la estancia ha estado genial, y no nos importarĂa repetir.
La anfitriona inmejorable.
Muchas gracias
Our stay at Casita Blanca was amazing. We could not have chosen a more stunning vantage point to view the nearby mountain range and the village of Orba below. Your gardens were amazing, giving a sense of privacy, and at the same time, a sense of security, knowing that neighbours were nearby.
We loved the Moorish decor and the history of the villa. The detailed guide to the house and information on the local area were extremely helpful.
We had everything we needed, including cozy blankets and heaters for chillier evenings. The villa was very clean and well-stocked with cooking supplies, a recycling system, a washing machine and two washrooms.
The pool was in keeping with Spanish decor. Wonderfully refreshing and private. It felt very posh!
We cooked meals at home and enjoyed dinners at El Paraiso, la Piscina in Parcent and Awraba and la Placa in Orba.
We hiked daily including Els Arcs National Park in Castel de Castels and Penon de Ifach in Calpe, even the mountain track at the top of Orbeta, encountering friendly hunters. We explored the amazing beaches of Cumbre del Sol and Ambolo.
Our recent visit to Orbeta gave us a chance to relax with a glass of wine on the piazza and celebrate our almost 50th anniversary.
Thank you Rod and Val for "hosting" us at Casita Blanca. It was indeed a memorable experience. We highly recommend this property.

Spacious for 2-4 people, not sure about 8 though. Beautiful swimming pool. Exterior furniture not too comfy. Dated and sparse decor inside. Food left in fridge from previous visitors. Electricity would trip up to 12 times an evening.
Casita Blanca has been in the family since 1974 and extended and developed over the years. As such it has been fully equipped for us and our friends - for a good level of self catering and holiday requirements. In recent years air-conditioning has been added to two bedrooms and the living room and there is heating for the cooler seasons. Wifi is a recent addition. This property has a lived in feel but is well maintained and clean and fresh for each group of guests or members of our extended family.
The views, especially the mountains across the valley at sunset, are truly amazing and as we are at the edge of the urbanisation woodland and footpaths are close by. The house is comfortable and the pool and surroundings are lovely enough to stay around in! However there is a lot to do locally and further afield in popular holiday resorts. Denia and Javea are within an easy drive. See maps and the area websites for information.
