About Villa San Rafael At Xativa, Costa Del Azahar

Villa San Rafael is a substantial (350 square metres) country house set in large gardens of one-third of an acre near to the mediaeval town of Xativa, 40 minutes drive inland of the coast at Gandia.

The property opens into an impressive hallway with staircase leading to the upper hallway on the first floor with 4 bedrooms and family bathroom leading off. The upper hallway opens on to a large terraced area overlooking the gardens and pool at the front of the house. The ground floor consists of a cloakroom, high specification contemporary kitchen, utility room, dining room and sitting room. The ground floor hallway has panelled doors opening on to a rather grand covered terrace - an ideal place for dining al fresco. The gardens are walled and gated with a large 10 x 5 metres pool and children's play area.

Villa San Rafael is situated in an area known as Bixquert, a beautiful and quiet area surrounded by mountains, which is 2 kilometres outside of the mediaeval town of Xativa. Xativa is an elegant town with an old quarter, boulevards and fountains, a good choice of shops, bars, restaurants and cafes. The historic castle built along a mountain ridge is a "must see". Beaches at Tavernes and Gandia are 40 minutes by car and are superb - sandy, clean and stretch for miles. The more touristy resorts of Denia and Javea are a further 20 minutes drive south of Gandia.

Bedroom 1 has a with king size bed, ensuite bathroom. Bedroom 2 with double bed. Bedroom 3 with twin beds. Bedroom 4 with twin beds. All bedrooms have fitted wardrobes/storage. Family bathroom on the first floor with small bath, shower over, wc, handbasin. Bathroom 2 ensuite to bedroom 1, with full bath, shower over, wc, handbasin. All the bathrooms are spacious.

High-specification contemporary kitchen with hob/oven, dishwasher, large fridge freezer. Adjacent utility room with washing machine. Door to the front terrace, door to the brick-built BBQ area, separate doorways to dining room and sitting room.

The dining room has dining table and chairs for 8 and the sitting room has comfortable sofa and chairs seating 8 persons. Satellite TV showing UK terrestrial channels.

The attractive mature gardens are walled and gated and totally private. The pool is large (10 x 5 metres) and is fenced and gated for child safety. There is a children's play area on a lower terrace in front of the house and plenty of room for children to play on the grassed areas.

Welcome pack includes tea, coffee, milk, sugar, water, wine, dishcloth, washing sponge, toilet tissue.

Get to know Find The Real Spain...

About us
I started my business Find The Real Spain from the successful and extremely enjoyable experience of renting my own property, La Terraza, in the Jalon Valley. Friends and neighbours here in Spain approached me to rent their properties for them and that´s how the business started! I have a portfolio of around 30 properties for holiday rental - individual, high-quality and all with private pools, in the areas of the Jalon Valley, inland Costa Blanca and inland Costa del Azahar (between Alicante and Valencia).

What we love about our business
I´ve always enjoyed travel, homes, gardens and sunshine so I guess this is the ultimate job for me! We offer a very "hands on" approach to our guests ensuring that they are met on arrival, shown around their holiday property, answer any questions they may have on arrival and we are always at the end of a phone for support if required during their stay (the holiday property information folder is comprehensive but there is always further information that can be helpful depending on the guests´ particular interests).

Year we started: 2005

Holiday reviews of Villa San Rafael At Xativa, Costa Del Azahar

Villa San Rafael At Xativa, Costa Del Azahar scored 4.2 out of 5 from 5 reviews...

17th August 2011 by New & Ahearne families, Manchester (STAYED IN AUGUST 2011)

“We've just spent a wonderful 2 weeks at Villa San Rafael with it's spacious accommodation, well equipped kitchen, play area and good sized pool. The children have had lots of fun as there is plenty of room to run around outside when not in the pool. A word of caution to those with small children or those that can't swim - the pool is deep, even in the shallow end. Xativa is a friendly town with lots of local bars and restaurants. The local rail has good services to Valencia and Gandia which are a must. Many of the roads around Xativa are new/upgraded so those with Satnav should update their system before leaving.

Our only suggestions would be to upgrade the beds in the twin and double room and possibly add some comfortable seating outside. Having said this we could happily have stayed a 3rd week!

Our thanks to Angie and Simon - we've saved your website to our 'favourites' list.

27th July 2011 by Lauren (STAYED IN JULY 2011)

“We had a really great week! The house an surroundings were lovely. The kitchen was large and well stocked, the bathrooms and towels were clean and spacious and everything was generally clean, spacious and lovely.
Only tiny suggestions would be to replace some of the beds… My father had no idea what I was talking about as he stayed in the main double bedroom with no issues at all, but my husband and I were in the other double and the bed was very noisy creaky. My sister was in one of the twins and had the same tiny issue with the quality of the beds. But other than that, we would highly recommend this property and would consider going back. Not to mention Xativa and the Valencia area which we loved.
Also, FindTheRealSpain.com and Angie and Simon were all really helpful and accommodating and I would definitely use this website if you are planning on renting a villa in Spain.
All in all, a really great holiday!”

“A lovely spacious house with plenty of space for outdoor dining and a great kitchen. Swimming pool lovely and warm but very deep ( childrdren”

13th August 2010 by Anne & Plamen from London (STAYED IN JULY 2010)

“We loved staying at Villa San Rafael. This is one of the best villa we have stayed in, both in style and equipment/facilities. The rooms are lovely, the bathrooms are great, and the kitchen has absolutely everything you need. The owner is obviously into cooking ;-) and if you are too, then you will enjoy the spacious and brilliantly designed kitchen.
The kids enjoyed the play area, the toy-kitchen, and of course, the pool!
Xativa is a lovely village with very nice restaurants (we recommend La Maga and Cuinart).
We give 4 stars as we missed the traditional "general information" folder, which would have been great, to avoid finding some basics for ourselves.
For info, you may want to take your own Sky card, as many of the channels stopped working after 7pm, for some strange reason (not that we minded!).
Overall, a fantastic place to spend your holiday. THANK YOU!”
