The whole property is clean, newly decorated, well appointed and comfortable, owned by a family who have been holidaying in their own home in Spain, with their children and friends, for many years. It is safe for children (pool alarm, stairgate, etc.). The villa is within easy walking distance of three or four restaurant/bars where you can try the local tapas, or eat a full 3 course meal, maybe Jabali (wild boar),all very reasonably priced. There is also a pharmacy and an ATM. The Gallinera valley is on the road from Pego to Cocentaina and Alcoy, and is known for its beautiful scenery, fine food and picturesque Moorish villages. The closest beaches lie between Oliva and Denia. The village itself is one of eight in the valley, all about a mile apart. The closest baker is in the next village up, there is also a very small monday market, selling fruit and veg, cold meats and cheeses . Supermarkets are in Pego, a twenty-minute drive away.
