Great property, with a lovely pool and great views of the sea. Nearby are some lovely bars and restaurants and 10 mins walk away is the Alicante to Benidorm tramline, which is perfect for getting up and down the coast. El Capello, 5 mins on tram is a great place for the beach and beach side restaurants.
We have arrived home from another great stay at Villa Carlanna. Very clean, well equipped villa. We love the area as it is perfect for our family holiday- offers some restaurants in close proximity, convenience shop and easy access to mainline transport for longer excursions, if no car. Candy & Bonnie very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable at check in/out and throughout stay. No doubt will be back again!
From the exceptional hospitality of both David and Candy to Davidâs delightful, comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean villa, our stay was perfect.
The views are stunning and the location ideal. The small village of Coveta Fuma has everything required (including a great beach) and the tram means car hire is not necessarily required.
Without doubt, the best villa of the many we have rented!
Lovely located property. Tram nearby so able to travel easily up and down the coast. Its a very quiet neighbourhood with just a couple of restaurants 10 minute walk away. Everything you need for a relaxing pleasant stay is there.
My self and my family had a great holiday at this villa.
The house is 10 minutes walk from the tram that took us to El Campello (for beach or shopping) and on into Alicante (for city buzz/harbour/beach) and even out to Benidorm (we were curious!!), so everything is within easy reach.
The villa was also only 10 minutes walk from a plaza with numerous nice(ish) restaurants and watering holes.
The house was very comfortable, with air conditioning allowing us to sleep in the heat, and the pool was also great to help us cool down.
All in all, we had a great holiday, and would love to go back some day.
We had an amazing time at this wonderful villa. Superb villa, clean and tidy with amazing views and everything we needed and more. The pool was a good size and we had it heated which was needed as we went early April. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing holiday. We will be booking again in the near future.
This was our second stay in this lovely villa. Very spacious and well equipped with everything you need. Made good use of the pool as the weather was very hot. Very quiet and peaceful even though there are neighbours nearby. Easy access to bars,restaurants and a small but very well stocked supermarket. Short walk to the tram if you want to travel further afield. Thanks to Candy for making us feel so welcome and recommendations of places to visit.
First impression was very good, nice clean property with plenty of room and lovely pool and garden with lovely flowers.
It was very warm during our stay and the pool was used often.
The property manager gave our party some very useful information concerning food orders.
The nearest tram stops were just over 5 minutes walk from the villa and as we did not have a car hire it was used regularly.
I have to say that the villa was very nice and well equipped and our party had a very enjoyable time there.
We all enjoyed our stay at this villa. Spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Lovely pool and garden with areas of sun and shade. Spent lots of time on the veranda enjoying the views. Would recommend to friends and family and hope to go back in the future. Special thanks to Candy and Bonnie for their help with check in and check out. Judith and sisters
Perfect holiday in a nice house, but it would be nice if you could change the cushions in the sun chairs outside ass well as the dining chairs. They are very worn out.
We had a lovely stay in Villa Carlanna. A really well equipped kitchen, plenty of shade options for outdoor areas, air con in the bedrooms is very efficient, pool area is very niceâŠthey have thought of all of your potential needs, even down to a wheeled shopping bag for market days etc (you really should use it- everyone has one!). Check in and check out weâre very friendly and speedy- we were given lots of guidance and links for places to go and invaluable advice on where to spend time before our late flight home, couldnât ask for more
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon!
The villa is spacious, clean and well equipped. The seaviews are even more outstanding than they appear on the website. The tram into El Campello is regular and easy to use. There are a few bars and restaurants well within walking distance (very friendly staff). We have to give special mention to Candy, the villa manager who went out of her way to help us obtain our covid lab results prior to flying home.
Very enjoyable stay
Candy and David are awesome and will help you, in any way they can, also very quick in responding on questions.
The villa is very nice in a quit area, for good night sleeps, the birds in the morning adds to a peacefull stay, the veranda is just great we spun a lot of time there.
Bars and restaurants and some nice beaches not to far away.
The pool was awesome with plenty of beds and chairs.
Also a nice bbq place for nice evening meals.
Thanks for everything David and Candy, when in the area we will curtenly book again without any doubt.
Kind regards Frank Mary and Jennifer
We stayed for a week end of May 2022 myself and 5 friends. The villa Carlanna was beautiful. Fabulous pool and 3 spacious bedrooms with air conditioning. Candy the property manager was really attentive and gave us lots of information about the area and things to do around about. It would be better to hire a car if you want to see the sights and have days out. But we enjoyed restful days by the pool and taking the tram just 10 minutes walk away for days out to the many beautiful beaches and towns nearby. Lovely plaza close by with a selection of bars and restaurants and a beach with paddle boards, canoes and boat trips also 10 minutes away. Would highly recommend it and would love to come back.
We stayed for two weeks at the beginning July. On arrival we were met by Bonnie and shown around. It was extremely hot during our stay so the air conditioning in the bedrooms was much needed. The pool is a real gem with a lovely temperature and private. There are other villas very close by, but they donât interfere with your views out to sea. Issues raised during our stay were quickly sorted out by Candy and Bonnie.
It should be noted that whilst there are local bars not far away the walk to them is down/up quite a steep hill. The pool area would benefit from a second umbrella although there are other sheltered areas around the Villa.
We were looking for somewhere that was perfect for an early summer getaway for my wife and I along with our elderly parents and two children. El Campello provided us with our perfect family holiday. The kids played in and around the pool most days while were at close hand relaxing on the veranda overlooking the ocean. We barbecued with the family most nights before taking a leisurely stroll to the local bars while our parents preferred the tranquil moments watching the sunset(babysitting!!!)poolside. The seven days flew in so next time we will need to stay a little longer. The olds might even take a longer extended winter break next year!! Thanks El campello!!!!!
Having previously stayed here in Summer 2011 I had no hesitation in booking this for my winter vacation. The location is ideally suited for either a peaceful relaxing stay in a traditional Spanish setting with the beach close by or the local train can whisk you to bright lights of the resorts. short distances to the airports too.
The weather was perfect in January,around 18-20c allowing my golf handicap to improve marginally .
The villa itself was immaculate and extremely spacious with all the amenities you would expect at home. Many an evening was spent firing up a bbq and enjoying the still warm air.
The village itself has a supermarket a few minutes walk away and the local square has a few restaurants and bars .
I would recommend this villa to both families and couples, and look forward to coming back in 2013 >
A lovely villa with an absolutely incredible view directly to the sea! We spent a relaxing holiday by the pool barbecuing and admiring the view.
The villa was well equipped and there was everything we needed and there was plenty of room for six people, although we spent a lot of our time outside sitting, laughing and playing.
Alicante and Benidorm were easily accessible from the tram stop (Amerador), which was about a ten minutesâ walk away from the villa, and we visited both places during our one-week holiday.
There was also a small grocery store (Supermercado Udaco) and a few restaurants nearby. We visited the grocery store every day to replenish our food stock and on the last night we ate at a nearby restaurant (Restaurant Cala Blanc) - the food was good and affordable!
All in all, a wonderful holiday in a wonderful milieu!
We have just returned from a fabulous week at Villa Carlanna. The Villa was perfect for our family, it had everything you may need (even a wheelie trolly for taking heavy items home from the shop!). Air conditioning in the bedrooms was a delight at bedtime. The Villa was within walking distance of a few bars and restaurants that also has a childrenâs playground within view of the bars, this was great for our children (aged 2, 7, 9 and 10). We found no need to hire a car, we used the tram, which was within walking distance of the Villa, for days out in El Campello and Benidorm, it was very efficient. David was super quick at replying to any questions I had and Candy was very welcoming, she checked us in and out very quickly. We are missing the beautiful sea views already and can not wait to return. Thank you David and Candy.
We recently stayed at the villa for 10 nights in April 2019. It's very spacious and the kitchen and glassware dining is very well equipped. The pool was wonderful and the shaded veranda was lovely along with gorgeous sea views. We were met by the host who was extremely friendly and helpful.
It was an easy walk to the tram stop which can take you either north or south and 4 mins journey to el campello for restaurants etc.
There is a small square 10 mins walk away with some bars and restaurants, the Singapore garden was excellent but none have any views as such.
The villa's getting a bit outdated which could easily be fixed is clean up the black mould marks on wall around dining area, replace the veranda sofa which had horrible patches on it and provide some cushions for sun loungers - nothing major but would make things nicer reflecting the cost.
I would recommend this villa for a relaxing break.
This is a charming villa set in a hilly enclave just north of El Campello. We chose NOT to rent a car - so we stayed local (from Alicante to Villajoysa is easy/cheap to do by tram). The tram stop (and local wine/grocery merchant) is an easy 10 minute walk - take a backpack and its easy to do your shopping and be back at the villa. The grounds are nice with lots of vignettes around the villa to either chase the sun or the breeze depending on time of day.
Candy was wonderful to meet us on the first day at the Alicante train station and wait for us to buy a few days grocery on our arrival (Sat) as most markets are closed on Sunday. So you do have to plan ahead a little.
Pool area was great - we were lucky it hadn't gotten too cold yet. Only downside we could think of was the Aircon is only in the sleeping area of the house. This makes it necessary to keep the breeze blowing thru the rest of the house for comfort - and this lets in mosquitos. So bug spray is important.
Great location, away from the "big city" but easy to enjoy get a city/country holiday with the touristy stuff in Alicante and the more local feel of El Campello and Coveta Fuma.
Thanks David and your team!
From arrival at the airport our family holiday was fantastic. Maureen had arranged a taxi transfer which only takes 25 minutes straight to the villa. Met by Brian who was very helpful and showed us where everything was and also made sure we knew the local points of interest, shopping, eating etc. The villa itself is tucked away in a quiet residential area looking towards the sea. We wanted a relaxing, quite family break and this was perfect. The pool is great and the patio area of the villa allows easy options to move out of the sun if it gets too hot - weather was superb! The villa has everything you would need for a holiday stay and very much feels like a family home with all mod-cons, plenty of space too. The local shop has all of your day to day needs and is just a short walk. The local bars and restaurants are excellent and the people are very very friendly. Further afield it's easy to get to Campello on the tram, just a short hop from the station beside the local shop. Campello has an amazing beach and we had some fantastic eating out there too - tapastastic! Unfortunately we had to come home eventually but again Maureen had organised a transfer back to the airport so no hassle for us whatsoever. All in all we had an amazing time and would highly recommend.
Just home from such a wonderful stay. There were 5 adults and a three year old in our group. Lovely welcome pack awaited us which was a great gesture
Candy was a fabulous host and couldnât do enough for us. We were able to WhatsApp her throughout our stay for questions or queries or even help with taxis.
There is online supermarket app ( Candy will send you the link) or if youâd rather walk, a shopping trolly is available and itâs 20-15 minutes to nearest supermarket which has most things, including fresh bread and pastries but is bit limited on fruit.
Supermarket next to the tram stop, which takes you into Alicante, Benidorm, El Campello all very cheap and range from 15-40 minutes on tram.
Also within same walking range is village square with nice bars a various restaurants.
Such a quiet location with incredible sea views.
Everything we needed to cook, drink, chill was available. All towels were included as well as pool towels. Bring mosquito spra as mosquitos were around.
There are lovely little bays within 10 -15 minute walks although not sandy. And water sports nearby that we would have loved to try if we had more time?
Being able to wash your clothes was a positive.
The lockable pool gate was amazing for the three year old. We felt so safe and secure in the villa.
The air conditioning in the bedrooms was perfect and enabled you to sleep soundly.
Thankyou to David and Candy, your villa is wonderful and we will Iâm sure be seeing you again. đ
The villa is very well situated, near to a small, but well stocked supermarket, the coastal tram line(so we don't always need to hire a car when we come out), the newly completed childrenâs play area, adjacent to the bars and restaurants, so they are always in sight, safely playing while we enjoy pre dinner drinks and the area is only serviced by minor, residential roads, so no traffic to worry about. Also, Coveta now has its own gym, for those that wish to keep up their fitness levels while away. Also, the beach tavernas found at the main, natural cove, do fantastic paellas and fresh, locally caught fish, so we really have found our Shangrila!
We chose to buy this holiday villa mainly because the accommodation was ideal for our expanding family, the pool is fenced and safe and being heated means we can enjoy the villa all year round(when not being enjoyed by our villa guests, of course) and whenever things get tough in UK, we can always visualize ourselves sitting on the verandah, with a glass of wine, watching the sunset, with not a care in the world. The villa has been registered with the Spanish Tourist Board.
