We were greeted by Martí and Maria, a lovely couple that lead us around the house. Its interior is very new: Martí and Maria have put a lot of work into making you feel at home right away. The furniture is also very new and in a modern urban style.

The kitchen is very spacious with a large enough fridge. You can be with three to four persons in the kitchen each doing his own thing without running into each other.

All throughout the house there are places where you can chill and read a book (or as in the case of our kids: play with your Nintendo handheld).

By opening the windows or the front door let the wind run through the house to keep it cool. Sitting on the terrace out back with a splendid vista over the local vineyards you are cooled by a nice sea-breeze which reaches all the way inland to this place.

We were a bit worried upon discovering that the house is adjacent to the restaurant, but we did not even notice it, apart from the lovely food smells when younger brother Bartolomé started his work in the kitchen. There is no live music, no loud partying going on, just families and quiet guests. Even privacy is ensured, the owners made sure of that.

At first we thought that the pool was photographed with a fish-eye lens, but it really IS a huge pool.

The sunsets are really a sight to behold, as the sun disappears behind the distant mountains.

Half way through our stay we were provided with clean linen and towels.

Bart and Martí responded very quickly whenever we had questions (whatsapp), which was also easier with the WiFi in the house. The signal coverage is from the terrace, up to the master bedroom all the way at the other end of the house.

Nearby Jalón / Xaló is a lovely little town with a well-stocked supermarket (MasYMas) which is easy to find with free parking.

This house is very recommended.

We stayed there with three children aged 8, 10 and 12 and my in-laws.

Thank you Martí, Maria and Bartolomé for your wonderful hospitality.
