My Guest say…
How to describe our 9 night stay in Juan’s villa? Excellent, awesome, absolutely fantastic! We enjoyed our time so much! The villa was everything we wished for. The house is even better than the photos! Supermarket and metro station are conveniently close. We had the time of our lives! Unforgetable Paella Night with Juan! He is proactive giving local tips. We’re going back!
We verbleven met 14 personen in de villa. Alles is zoals beschreven en de foto’s. Het buitengedeelte met zwembad is fantastisch ! Juan is een perfecte gastheer die al het mogelijke voor jou doet en regelt ! De tips voor uitstappen, restaurants, het regelen van taxi, … Hij heeft heerlijke paella komen maken voor ons. Met andere woorden : top !!! Een aanrader !!!
Absolutely fantastic time had by all. Never have I felt so relaxed with friends. Juan and Pascual looked after us like you wouldn’t believe. They were there to show us the house, book Taxi’s, cooked the most delicious paella �. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you guys! I will definitely be returning! Thank you!
We have spent the weekend here with a group of colleagues. The goal was teambuilding and we’ve succeeded to the max. The villa is amazing, lots of space and luxury. The villa has a lot of bathrooms and spacious bedrooms. Also the public areas like kitchen. But the thing that really makes your stay special is the wonderful guidance of the host Juan! He did everything we’ve asked for and so much more. He really makes the difference! Thanks again for everything and hope to see you again somewhere in the future!
Heerlijk huis. Het huis is schoon en de foto’s geven een goed beeld van wat je kunt verwachten. De slaapkamers zijn verzorgd en voorzien van airco. De tuin met zwembad is top, de hele dag genieten. De metro is op vijf minuten lopen van het huis, elk vijftien minuten een perfecte verbinding met Valencia stad. Supermarkt en restaurantjes zijn in de directe omgeving te vinden. De communicatie met Juan is zeer prettig en staat altijd open voor tips en adviezen. Juan bedankt

Le séjour à été fantastique pour notre groupe de 21 personnes. La maison possède tous les équipements pour passer un fabuleux séjour. Farnals est un petit quartier typique de Valence ou on trouve tous les commerces nécessaires et de beaux parcs à proximité. La maison se situe à quelques minutes de marche du métro pour se rendre à Valence et à 5mn en voiture de la mer. Juan s’est rendu disponible durant tout le séjour. Merci également à Pascual qui nous a cuisiné une excellente paella !! Je vous recommande cette maison
Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und haben uns sofort wohl und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Er hat uns den Checkin einige Stunden früher ermöglicht und uns einige Lebensmittel als Willkommensgeschenk besorgt. Wir wurden mit Bier empfangen und hatten gleich ein sehr ausführliches Gespräch über die Möglichkeiten, was wir unternehmen können. Im und um das Haus war alles perfekt, auch die Angaben über die Verkehrsanbindung waren korrekt. Absolute Weiterempfehlung, jederzeit gerne wieder!
