Very comfortable and well equipped villa

Great villa with everything needed to enjoy your stay. Great communication with Julie the property manager and Spenser who looks after the pool and garden. Great pool that was used nearly every day of our stay. Easy journey from the villa to Arenal Beach, Javea, Calpe and Moraira and many other places. The villa was clean and any snags found were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Recommended 5*

Lovely villa, great location

We had an excellent week here in October half term and are booked again for Easter next year. A few ‘hiccups’ with check in but Jeff and his manager Julie were swift to deal with them. Julie is extremely kind and helpful. Pool is big and perfect for us and our 3 young children. Spent hours in it! Pool and tennis tables an added bonus. Kitchen is well stocked with all the equipment you need for a family. Even orange squeezers so we made fresh orange juice with the oranges picked from the garden. There is a lime tree too. There are a few good restaurants within walking distance but we only ate in Grandflo cafe which is lovely, great food and good little play area for the kids. Javea itself only 5 mins drive. Promenade & beachfront is great with lots of restaurant choices. Plenty of supermarkets a quick drive away. An hour drive back towards Alicante is DinoPark and the Fonts de l’Algar. Well worth a visit especially the waterfalls! Looking forward to coming back!

Our Favourite Villa

We always stay here when we visit Javea. Location and villa is perfect. It is well managed and looked after. We are just sad it is already booked up for next year. :( Look forward to going back in 2025 if it’s free.

Absolutely Fantastic

From the day of making an enquiry to the moment we left communication was excellent. Julie made contact with us a few days before our arrival with information about the check in process. We were just getting out of the taxi when she arrived. After showing us around the villa I asked for a local taxi company’s phone details as we needed a trip to supermarket before our car was delivered the next morning. Not only did she give me phone numbers but she dropped my daughter and I to Consum. This was very kind and thoughtful. We unpacked and found plenty of storage for all our clothes. I always take extra coat hangers but didn’t need them. The furnishings and decor throughout was tasteful and comfortable. The island in the kitchen was well used at breakfast and lunchtimes. Dishwasher and washing machine were both easy to use and of good quality. It was great having a large fridge and freezer too.There were many options for eating both inside and out. As we were there for three weeks in August we used the main dining area opposite the kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, cutlery/glasses plates etc.There were so many areas to sit in comfort all together or in smaller groups. Often in villas there is always a downside, here there wasn’t one. The outside was just as amazing as the inside. The pool man certainly knew how to keep a pool crystal clear, it was well used 😊The pool table was also a huge hit. So basically we will be back. Thank you

An excellent, quiet and private villa

My wife and I had a really excellent stay at this villa. The property was well equipped and lived up to expectations, though it was definitely the lovely private pool that had our heart. Tempting as the sights and sounds of Javea and Arenal were, we found ourselves drawn back to quiet poolside evenings, with warm swims in the peaceful surroundings. We really valued quality time to ourselves, made possible by this lovely property. A couple of nice restaurants are in walking distance and we really didn’t need any more! A few days in Valencia follow, which we greatly look forward to, refreshed by our quiet week at the villa. Would highly recommend and would definitely return!

Amazing villa

The villa is just as pictured, lovely pool and well equipped kitchen. Good air conditioning, check in was easy as Julie texted when villa was available as we had an early morning flight. We had lunch at Rossini which is 5 minutes down the road, there are several other restaurants within walking distance. We had two toddlers who loved the heated pool, plenty of sun loungers, bbq and some floats for pool. Would love to go again as Javea is a beautiful area and playa Arenal is a perfect beach.

Wonderful stay

We had a relaxing & comfortable stay at this lovely villa. We were lucky with the weather & made a lot of use of the pool & sunbeds. Julie made the check in easy with her communications & was there to greet us. I appreciated the dressing table & full length mirror! The location is in a quiet residential area, about 7 minutes to the arenal beach so nice to get away from the tourist area.

Absolute Gem!

I really don't want to share how beautiful this villa is, as it is already constantly booked up! It is extremely clean, the bedrooms are all excellent, there are enough bathrooms that no one needs to wait for the loo or a shower, and the pool is a great size. We were able to swim in December and spend a few hours a day soaking up the rays on the sun loungers. The pool table is fantastic - although being winter it got dark around 6om so we couldn't play much after this as we couldn't make out the colours of the balls. The location was great for us. We had a hire car so it was about 7 minutes to drive to the beach, karting, paintball, and some supermarkets in a few directions. There were a couple of restaurants in walking distance but being pitch black lanes with no path, we did the 1 minute drive to get to them. The owner was friendly in his communications with us and the house manager, Julie was an absolute star. She answered any questions we had, recommended places to eat and was just lovely. I would definitely recommend this villa.

Amazing Villa

We’ve just spent a week at the villa and it was lovely. 4 adults and out 5 year old daughter who loved being in the pool every day. Everything we needed was provided, we loved a game of pool and table tennis and a swim in the heated pool. It’s a great location for Javea only a few minute drive down to the beach and restraunts. We can’t wait to come back again

Just lovely!

The villa was better than expected, very clean and well stocked, decent sized fridge and freezer and two ovens (should you want to cook!!). En-suite bathrooms were nicely done and everything was clean. There were endless places to eat your dinner! Outside area was great! Pool lovely and warm, enough sun beds and enough parasols if required. Pool and table tennis kept the children amused. Although not walkable to town the area was very nice. Owners very accommodating when flights were cancelled close to holiday date and Julie, the property manager, was very helpful and responsive. All in all a great villa to explore the rather lovely town of Xàbia and the surrounding area!

Kitchen is well equipped and beds were really comfy. Julie met us and stayed in touch throughout our stay incase we needed anything. Pool area is fab and the pool table and table tennis is a great addition. Just a few minutes drive from a big supermarket and a 5 minute drive to the lovely beach which has lots of restaurants, bars and shops. Would definitely recommend and return to this villa.

Super stay in super villa with super support

The villa is beautiful and at a high standard. We were affraid that the spaces would be smaller, but if anything, it felt bigger then on the pictures. It has several spacious seating areas, as well inside as outside. The kitchen was for us the most beautiful part of the villa, equiped with all we needed (also cutlery-wise) . The pool is spacious as well, and after the heating was set correctly we got a watertemperature of 28 celsius (around new years eve, so coldest period of the year). Contact with Jeff and Danielle (owners) was pleasant and super fast. As well with Julie (propety manager). Julie really went out of her way to help us. she was marvelous. There was some work in progress at the back of the villa (stopped during our stay, and we were advised in advance, there was no bother on our side), so we are sure the villa will be even more beautiful. If we go back to Javea we will definitly contact Jeff and Danielle again!.

A beautiful villa set in idyllic Javea

We booked 18 months in advance, as we wanted something to look forward as we were shielding with our daughter who is disabled. The communication with Jeff was fantastic he answered all questions about the property quickly. The villa was spotlessly clean with a modern feel. It was perfect for us, as we were a party made up of my parents, my husband and daughter, there was plenty of space in around the villa. With it having 2 bathrooms, we didn't feel like we were on top of one another. From a disabled aspect the villa is perfect. There is a large parking area outside the front with plenty of room for us to lower down the ramp. The villa is step free, as there is a side double door by the pool to get into the accommodation, which made life so simple. The villa is large with lots of space, so it made moving our daughter around very easy. The ensuite bathroom has a walk in shower, which was perfect for us to bathe her in her shower chair. There is plenty of space outside too, so we could manoeuvre the wheelchair easily. We spent a lot of time in the pool, which was a great size and safe depth for us to stand in the shallow end with her. The pool area gets the sun all day, it's a great spot for sunbathing, with plenty of loungers. I would only recommend covers for the comfy seating area, as it gets damp overnight. There are so many seating areas around the villa to eat and drink. We favoured the table outside for breakfast and ate out the rest of the time. You have to drive into Javea for restaurants and bars it only takes about 8 mins. We absolutely fell in love with the gorgeous sandy Arenal Beach. The promenade is beautiful and very accessible for wheelchairs, with access all the way to the sea. There is an abundance of restaurants and bars to choose from all with amazing views out to the sea. If you dont fancy driving you can walk to 5 places to eat (but take care as there is no proper path in places) We can totally recommend Bacchus an expensive, but beautiful restaurant 2 mins walk from the villa. The Inn on the Green (5 min walk) a pub run by a lovely British family for good value English food and a warm welcome. The Pinosol Hotel has a restaurant run by another English Family with nice food, also a 10 min walk, across the road from here is the quirky Kiosko snack bar. EL Campo is a 15 min walk, but a safer bet to drive there! The villa is perfect and the surrounding area is beautiful we are already hoping to book for next year!

Relaxed, spacious and quiet!

Amazing villa, ample space for 8 adults and a two year old. Pool area was big and you had the sun all day! Fridge was big enough and provided cold filtered water. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Our only criticism would be the spare room attached to the main bedroom didn’t have air con. This is literally our only downfall other then that it was amazing. If you a group of 6 this is a must. Around 5 mins drive to the town and beach. Plenty to do, eat, drink and shop. Also supermarkets and petrol station within 5 mins. Would definitely recommend.

One of the best villas we have stayed in.

We've stayed in a few villas in Javea over the years and this was one of the best. Julie and the owner were quick and responsive to any communication or minor issues we had. The villa feels very secure, with good parking, in a quiet road within walking distance of Bacchus restaurant. The pool is amazing, large and cleaned every morning. The villa is spacious and well laid out, with good aircon and wifi, plus comfortable seating and beds. The kitchen has everything, including an ice machine, and a pleasure to cook in. We really enjoyed our stay and would 100% return.

Excellent villa, better than described!

We had a lovely week at the villa which exceeded expectations. The pictures do not do it justice. Julie (villa manager) was excellent and happy to help whenever needed. Our stay was during a mini heatwave (40 degrees on several days) which having a young baby with us required use of the aircon, which was extremely efficient and when we commented on there only being one umbrella she immediately went and bought us another- fantastic service! Should we wish to return to the area we will definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Danielle

Host profile image
Hi we are Danielle and Jeff, we live in Somerset with our two children and Daisy the sausage dog.

After going away on numerous occasions on expensive holidays and being disappointed with either the location, service, or standard of accommodation we decided to purchase a property in an area that we knew we would be able to enjoy our holidays year after year and whatever the season.

Unbeknown to us at the time, after researching suitable places to holiday, we visited Javea and soon realised that not only could this be a holiday destination but somewhere we could potentially live in the future.

We therefore decided in late November 2015 to purchase a detached villa with private pool and spacious accommodation. Having completed in March 2016 a full refurbishment was required and we have since not only completely redecorated, but installed a new kitchen, boiler etc we have made it a 'home from home'.

We spend as much time as possible at the villa and have therefore not only furnished it to a high standard but equipped the property with modern furniture and accessories, including an american style fridge freezer with ice maker and water dispenser, miele dishwasher, two eye-level fan-assisted ovens, washing machine. Fully equipped kitchen. Sky TV (including sky movies and sport), Wi fi, televisions in two bedrooms as well as living room.

There area a number of areas to choose from when dining, a table for 8 in the dining room, a table for 10 in the nayo and a table for 12 in the outside kitchen/bbq area.

As we will be spending time in the villa all year round not only have we installed air conditioning throughout but we have gas central heating and a heated pool for the winter months.

We hope you will enjoy our home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We bought Villa Rufino in 2016 because it was light & spacious and within walking distance of two restaurants, Pinosol park (which has a bar and play area for children).

The villa itself is set within a quiet residential area, with an open plan living area, large Nayo which both lend themselves to being ideal for socialising.

Outside of the property offers great privacy, with a fantastic pool area, outside kitchen area with built in bbq, and plenty of food prep space including two sinks.

The property also offers easy access to the beach (approx 2km), Javea golf course and the Bowls Club. There is also paintballing, go-karting and numerous watersports all within easy reach of the villa.

You will be spoilt for choice for places to eat in Javea not only does it have Michelin starred restaurants but good quality restaurants to suit all budgets.

There are Aqua Parks, Zoos, Theme Parks, boat trips to Denia and Ibiza, evening entertainment and shows all within 20-30 minutes drive from the villa.
