A fantastic holiday
By Laura Obrien on 05-Jul-2025We stayed here for one week for my mums 60th birthday. The views and the villa are absolutely fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The villa had everything you could ever need. I would recommend a car to get around but it was a perfect week! Thanks Paul

Fantastic Villa with stunning views
By Vanessa on 14-Jun-2025We all absolutely loved our stay at Mountain View Villa. The villa itself was perfect for our needs - spacious and extremely clean The bedrooms were very comfortable, the kitchen and living room well equipped (although we didn't use the latter as we preferred to spend our time outside in the sun) and we enjoyed playing pool in the games room. There were also plenty of games and books. Our very favourite part, however, was the outside space. A brilliant balcony with breathtaking views across the mountains and over the pool - perfect for al fresco meals, drinks and generally relaxing. Best of all though was the pool which we made very good use of. Perfect for cooling down as well as for fitness lengths whilst enjoying the mountain views. The villa is located in a very quiet location and we enjoyed our walk to the bakery in Barx for bread and our walk to Monduver summit. The weather when we were there was very hot or we would have enjoyed doing more of the local walks. We also found it to be an excellent base to explore some of the local area. We visited Gandia on several occasions -(approx 30 mins to the beach area - where on road parking was very easy to find - and less to the town itself). Gandia beach was extremely clean and uncrowded. We liked the walk along the pedestrianised promenade and around the port and old town. We also enjoyed our visit to Simat monastery (free) and loved our day out exploring the old town in Valencia. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this Villa. We don't usually return to the same place but are considering returning soon as we loved the Villa so much and feel we have lots of places still to discover in the area.

Thanks you for your review Vanessa. It sounds like you had a wonderful time. As you say there is a lot to do in the area but when it is very hot the terrace and pool wins out. Barx is a lovely laid back village in the hot weather with enough essential services to survive and walkable as well. You were lovely guests and I would be delighted if you did decide to come back again. Just let me know. Best wishes Paul.
Fantastic villa and views to die for!
By Emma Bell on 01-Feb-2025We really enjoyed our 4 weeks at Paul and Francis villa, they made us very welcome leaving a gift hamper for us (much needed after our car broke down)! The villa had everything we needed for our stay, very well equipped and comfy furniture. Although we never used the pool as it was freezing this time of year, we really enjoyed sitting around it and taking in the Mountain View’s. There is a lovely walk right outside for our dog or an even better one further down the road heading to Gandia.

Hi Emma, Many thanks for your review and glad you enjoyed the views and local walks. You were great guests and I would be happy to welcome you back again. Paul
Superb villa & location! Enjoy!
By Carol & family on 14-Oct-2024We had an absolutely wonderful week stay at this superb villa. The property is brilliant, with all mod cons, lovely swimming pool and very tastefully furnished being able to cater for any family/group. I’d go as far to say that the villa looks better IRL than the photos available online, which is very rare to come across! The location is breathtaking with stunning views and ideally located for fabulous hikes and cycling. As well as being a short drive to the beaches in and around Gandia. We absolutely hope to visit again, probably the only criticism being a week wasn’t long enough to do everything that’s on offer in the area. Enjoy! Carol and family
