We travel with a dog and we chose this property mostly because of its generous outdoor space. Communication with the owner and property manager was very good. When we arrived we were greeted by a man called Lino, he lives locally and looks after the house. He was very helpful and friendly and despite language gaps on both sides, we communicated well with help of his mobile app. The house has been updated since the photos were taken and we were pleasantly surprised. It is equipped well, high quality beds, bedding, matresses, plenty of clean towels helped us feel at home. In overall the house was clean, some areas (under the bed, some ornaments, outside furniture) required dusting, but it didn't affect our stay. Perhaps there was a longer gap between bookings. It is a rural house with its quirks (quite cold, electricity draw is limited, car is a must) which for us adds to the charm. We booked the house for 4 weeks between mid December to mid January and had a really good time. In the first two weeks at midday we were sunbathing by the pool, then it got a bit colder, but we still managed to go hiking and sightseeing. With cold evenings we used both electric heaters/ air conditioners and a fireplace to keep warm. A dumpy bag of wood provided by the owner was great! If you book in winter for a longer stay like us, bear in mind that you will need to use a lot of electricity to keep the house warm, we were asked to pay for what we used before departure, which is fair enough, as we had some form of electric heating on for most of the time. Practicalities aside, location is stunning, open views of mountains and orange groves are beautiful and peaceful. Towns of Pedralba and Villamarxant offer good places to eat, shop and observe authentic Spanish lifestyle. Brigitte took time to prepare very good information packs in several languages, which helped a lot. The outside kitchen with a huge bbq and paellero was a great bonus, perfect for preparing and cooking fish and seafood. There is also a utility room with a washing machine, 2nd toilet and a bathtub. The house is a 30 minute drive from Valencia airport, which is a huge bonus. It is ideal for pet owners and everyone looking for peace and contact with nature. The house has a private and quiet location, but there are other houses across the road. We will book this house again, and even tried to extend our stay, as 4 weeks seemed a bit short. Thank you for sharing your house with us, we felt at home there.
