Casita Leon
Villa with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and private pool in Urbanización Aldea de las Cuevas, Spain
From £546 per week
Luxury detached villa set in a quiet urbanisation on a mountain-top overlooking the Mediterranean. Large 9x5m private, secluded pool. The views are quite stunning (all the rooms benefit from this).
Overview
The villa has two double bedrooms, both with ensuites and an open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen. It sits on top of a mountain with far reaching views of the Girona valley and the Mediterranean. Set in an exclusive urbanisation it benefits from privacy, peace and quiet, with all home from home conveniences included. It's only a 10-15 minutes drive from the coast or inland to the quaint Spanish villages.
Benidoleig village is a 3 minute drive away down the mountain. The beautiful Jalon Valley with its many bodegas to please the wine enthusiast is 15 minutes by car. Approximately 45 minutes drive takes you to the historic mountain village of Guadalest, passing the Algar water falls on the way. A drive up to Benimaurell (famous for its cherries) takes 15 minutes where you can explore the stone and white washed village with breathtaking views to the Mediterranean.
The local village of Benidoleig has a bank, a small supermarket, bakery, newsagent, tobacconist, chemist, hairdressers and numerous bars and restaurants. You will find many local fiestas in Benidoleig and the surrounding villages during the summer months which are great fun (please ask us for dates and details). A large shopping centre is located in Ondara (10 minutes by car). Around the valley most villages offer excellent value 'menu del dia' (three courses and wine for under 10 euros).

We stayed at Casita Leon in August this year and had a really relaxing stay. The villa is beautiful and set in a very peaceful location with stunning views. Michael our host was very helpful and made us feel very welcome. The villa was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. I would highly recommend a stay in this beautiful villa in the mountains.

This was the second time we have stayed at Casita Leon, which in itself, says a lot.
A very well looked after and clean villa with all the facilities needed for our holiday.
Mike is always available to help and advise.
I have ticked the box for party type as COUPLE but it wold be very good for two couples also.
We will probably rebook for next year.

We had a lovely week staying at Casita Leon. We would thoroughly recommend it for a totally relaxing holiday with spectacular views from the villa . The villa is spotless and has everything you could possibly need from kitchen utensils to swimming pool inflatables !! Michael the owner who lives next door is a lovely man - on hand if any advice is needed but only if you ring his bell - otherwise you wouldn't know he is there!! We would totally recommend Casita Leon !

The villa is absolutely stunning!! The pictures dont do the property or the location justice. It is very quiet and secluded which is exactly what we were looking for. The pool was a little chilly as it was the end of October but it still looked inviting enough to go in everyday. The property has everything you could need for a very comfortable stay and the local village has everything you could need so further travel is not required.
It was easy to book and communicate with the owner through this site and he was very helpful and full of useful advice about where to go and what to see.
A car is most definitely required and I would suggest something with a powerful engine or a turbo as the drive up the mountain can be a little steep at times, but the view from the front of the villa makes it totally worth it when you get there!
A wonderful week of uninterrupted bliss, thank you for letting us encroach on your little piece of heaven Michael!

You can’t help but enjoy yourself here. Thanks Michael for a lovely relaxing time. Bill and Eileen What a wonderful location! Great views all day. We really enjoyed staying in your lovely villa – all furnished and decorated in great taste. Thoroughly enjoyed the pool – great for cooling off in this weather. Eric and Debbie We really don’t want to go home! The villa is excellent, well equipped and super for a relaxing holiday. Paul and Vicki
"Wow! Loved this villa - and its owner!" The gorgeous villa was absolutely spotlessly clean when I arrived at the top of the mountain, feeling like Id driven all the way up to the table of the gods! What a beautiful place for the soul to rest, yet close enough to the villages below for restaurants etc, and to Javea and Denia and Moraira etc - and only just over an hour to Valencia, a bit more to Alicante. The villa itself is very private, with fabulous views, and an amazing pool area. It had everything I needed, and Michael has thought of pretty much everything. Michael was awesome! He shopped so Id have food on arrival, he was so accommodating, very friendly without ever "hovering", and he was laid back about my "holiday state of mind" re tidiness. I was there for two weeks, and would definitely go again, and recommend it to anyone else. Thank you, Michael, for helping restore my soul! Jo H August 2013

"Beautiful villa and so peaceful" We have just returned from a 2 week holiday at this beautiful villa.The views are spectacular and the villa is equipped with everything you could want to make your stay memorable. Michael makes you feel welcome from the minute you arrive to the day you depart. Aslo make sure you ask him about the supermarket that sells the fantastic meats for the BBQ and the local restaurants.

Extra information
Accessibility: The villa is not ideal for people with mobility problems as there are a few steps. For example, there are four steps to the front and two if the side passage is used to access the areas around the villa. There is an additional step to access the villa itself. Outside: There is a very private 9x5 pool directly behind the villa with terrace for the sun loungers and a table and chairs. To the front of the property is another seating area with table and chairs enabling visitors to enjoy the panoramic views whilst eating al fresco. A charcoal bbq is also available. The urbanisation, on which the property is located, has two large communal pools, a tennis court and a bar/restaurant. Important notes on accommodation: Please note that the second bedroom is accessed from an external staircase. For this primary reason this property is not suitable for children (also the bed is a double and most residents here appreciate the peace and quiet!).

Buenos dias. My name is Michael and I moved to Spain 13 years ago initially on a 'try it and see' basis. My plans changed and instead of moving to Javea (by the coast) I was offered a property inland. My initial disappointment changed the moment I arrived. The countryside and the people are fantastic. Here I can live in the 'real' Spain without all the tourists! If I want that, a quick drive takes me to the bustle of the coastal towns, like Javea and Denia. So my move to this property was based on the pleasure of living in the peace and quiet, but all the other options available to me within a few minutes’ drive.
