The communication from Hakim was excellent throughout. Everything we wanted to know was available and the welcome from Anne and Mike on arrival was warm.The villa is very spacious, inside and out. The outside area is well established and interesting, and has various places to sit and while away the time. The pool area and gazebo is a great place to sit at any time of day. The pool is larger than most and even has a jacuzzi section. The location is great. An hour from Alicante, there are 3 restaurants within 5 mins walk and plenty more if you take a stroll (20 / 30 mins) to the coast. There are 2 large supermarkets 3 mins drive away. The villa is very well stocked with glasses, crockery and cutlery of all shapes and sizes.We didn't use the BBQ, but there are even two options for that!!!A couple of minor niggles:- on two afternoons the neighbours (5 young men who were only there for two days) decided that loud music was what they fancied. It only lasted a shortish time (2hrs?) but was rather annoying. Secondly, the number of cockroaches we had to deal with. They are a fact of life in Spain, but in 25 years of renting we've never seen so many across the duration of a stay. We dispatched half a dozen in the villa over the first 24 hours, then at least one every night outside. Very unusual. Overall though the villa was just right for the five of us and we had a really lovely week.
