Spanish villas rental - villa Mirador al Sur

Accommodation - The villa entrance is via electric gates into a driveway for unto three cars, with a car port for one car. The large plot is surrounded by trees and shrubbery and located next to an extensive wooded area (green zone), so it’s very private. Located within a desirable residential area, with other established, individually-styled villas on large plots, it is just five to ten minutes by car, from the beach and marina of Moraira, with two large supermarkets, cafe/bar/restaurants and shops just 1km away at the bottom of the hill, which straddles Moraira, Benitachel and the Portet Valley.
The south-west facing large living room gives you a 180° mesmerising view from the semi-circular, beamed conservatory area: furnished with a comfortable wicker sofa suite, to admire the views, and a dining suite for 6. This marble floor area opens onto the living room, with a feature up-lit barrel ceiling, furnished with a modern comfortable sofa suite, and a large 55 inch smart flat-screen satellite television*.
A patio door gives access to a south-facing terrace area, with patio dining suite, to enjoy throughout the day, and onto an enclosed garden area.
Returning to the living room, a sliding door leads to a modern fully-fitted kitchen that in-turn leads out to a covered porch and the garden terraces.
From the living room, a hallway leads to the three bedrooms:
The master bedroom, with king-size bed, has a fully-tiled en-suite, with walk-in shower, wash-hand basin and toilet. There is a double bedroom, with king-size bed, and a twin bedroom, sharing a second fully-tiled bathroom with walk-in shower, wash-hand basin and toilet. All mattresses are superior quality for comfort.

Air-conditioning - units serve the living room areas and all bedrooms, each with its own control, charged extra upon meter usage.
Gas central heating - with Swiss-made Creatherm radiators that are very modern and deliver high-output economically, charged extra upon meter usage.

Outside - The large plot is over 1,000 sq mts, and has several areas in which to enjoy different aspects of the garden and views. The large sun terrace, accessed directly from the kitchen via a staircase, has a Pergola over an outside quality sofa suite, which is very comfortable - most enjoyable taking drinks and watching the sunset, and a dining suite.
There is an additional covered area, with a wicker sofa suite to lounge day and night, and a summer kitchen which has a gas barbecue, fridge, sink and plenty of worktops for preparation, as well as a bar with stools, for those who want to observe.

More information about villa usage deposits & charges
Pool Heating - operational April to October, charged on meter usage.
The pool is heated by a Jetliner 200 (20.1 kw output for 2.98 kw input) inverter, which is the most cost-effective way of heating a pool. It is operational from April until October, when the air temperature is around 20 degrees plus.
The cost of usage is separately metered in the pump room and a reading is taken at check-in and checkout, so you’re in control of how much you want the pool heated, for which there is a digital control in the WC by the pool.
Once the desired temperature has been reached, it would switch off and only engage again when the temperature drops by a degree, whereby then it would only need to run for a shorter period to bring the temperature back up. The pool temperature will rise by about 2 degrees a day.
The ideal pool temperature to swim in is around 27 degrees, but some of us like it cooler or even warmer.
Additional Deposits
GAS CENTRAL HEATING - £50 Pounds (except summer) usage deposit (per week).
AIR-CONDITIONING/WARM-AIR HEATING - £50 Pounds usage deposit (per week).
POOL HEATING - £100 Pounds usage deposit (per week).
This is required irrespective whether you will be using it or not, and the meter will be read upon the day of arrival, and departure. This will appear automatically on the booking form.

• Dear Nick, Many thanks for your e-mail and prompt return of the deposit. We were pleasantly surprised at the low energy usage. Those warm-air units really are very efficient! We absolutely loved the villa, the view was stunning with amazing sunsets, the area very quiet and the villa itself was very comfortable and warm, well-equipped and tastefully decorated. We know the area quite well and normally stay in the Jalon valley but this made a very welcome change. Just one tiny point (too minor to be mentioned in the Booking review): we thought the sheets were worn a bit thin and the towels a little small and slightly lacking in qualtity. (VS - we have investigated this). But other than that, we will certainly add the villa to our list of places to stay (and will also have a look at the VillaSpain website when we're planning another holiday.

• fantastic Absolutely fantastic home, with great location, super good outdoor areas, nice garden, everything very well maintained.
  Michael Ahlmann Molin (Denmark) Review on Spain-Holiday website, Aug 2020
• I could not fault this villa We rented a few villas during our months' holiday on the Costa Blanca, which we do every year now that I am retired, and this is by far the best one I have stayed in. You feel you are in the middle of the countryside, with the views and privacy, but you are within a short drive to local supermarkets, shops, restaurants, beaches and the centre of Moraira. You could walk to the supermarkets (Aldi & Mercadonna) but to be honest the five minutes's there is fine, but the return is uphill - fine if you only have a few things to carry. The villa is equipped to the highest standard - everything you need for a home from home holiday, but with the sun and a pool. The pool was too cold to use, but I understand it is heated between April and October and you are charged for heating, if used. The outdoor areas are fantastic, especially the summer kitchen, which we were using during the 'winter'. Will be back, possibly when the weather is warmer, although we had 15-18 during the day.

• Superb!! Second year at villa. All catagories excellent.
  Jimmy Dahmani (Belgium): Online Holiday Questionnaire, Aug 2014
• Dear Villa Spain, Thank you for your prompt e mail after my phone call. We are very pleased with the heating bill. The Panasonic warm air blowers were most efficient and far cheaper than using gas central heating . We hope to book the same villa next year at the same time of year but the EasyJet winter flights are not yet available. The villa and holiday was excellent.
  Valerie Giles: Email & Online Questionnaire, Mar 2014
• We hired Mirador al Sur for two weeks at the end of August and I just wanted to thank you again for the excellent service. This was the second time we visited Moraira and used your company and the villa this year was even better than last year! Really we had everything we needed, including the luxury of the gas barbecue and efficient airco system. The villa is fantastic. We also used Giner car hire for the first time and it was a first class service. Next year we are not sure what we will do, as our girls are now both of an age where they might want to do their own thing, but if we ever choose to come back to this area of Spain, we will definitely do it via VillaSpain.

• “Great Views, Modern , clean , perfectâ€� 5 of 5 stars We stay in Moraira quite regularly but this was our first time at this villa. It is furnished to the highest standards very modern and airy, everything looked new. Fab pool area and far-stretching views to the sea. Would definitely recommend . They don't have a hairdryer which was my only niggle as I have long hair but we managed to get hold of one half way into the rent so all ended well so remember to bring one yourself [VS - now suplied]. A fantastic villa.

• We arrived in Moraira yesterday to find a really wonderful house. Me and my family were extremely pleased with it, its even better then the pictures on your site. Also my compliments to the cleaning team, the house was in top condition when we arrived. We've seen different after renting houses for over 10 years.

• Hello, I begin to give you the best wishes for 2013 and want to let you know that we enjoyed our staying in villa Mirador al Sur. The house is beautiful and on a very nice location, the only thing that it was up hill and my husband who still is a cyclist have to go down by car that everything went well. With regards

  Jayne Mayes (UK): Email, Sep 2012
• Fantastic. Photos on website did not do the property justice. it was much better!! Will definately book via Villa Spain again
  Andrew Parker (UK): Online Holiday Questionnaire, Aug 2011
• We recently stayed at Mirador al sur with friends for a week and had a fantastic time. The house is great and we actually hardly even got out to the surrounding area, save a daytrip to Valencia. The small town of Moraira close by is reasonable, though very touristy. I hate to think what it must be like in the middle of summer. However, as said, we loved the ahouse and stayed there most of the time just enjoying the space and the pool. Near the house were several supermarkets selling everything we needed. The house also had everything we needed for a relaxed holiday, lots of room to sit outdoors, both in the sun and the shade. A BBQ which we used almost every evening, great pool, sunbeds, inside the house was very neat and tidy (though slippery floor when wet, look out with kids coming in from the pool), good bathrooms and showers, good bedrooms. The information folder that was supplied contained all the information we needed about the house and activities in the surrounding area. Everything was arranged well and the service in advance to our stay was also very good - we booked through VillaSpain.co.uk In short: fantastic!

• just come back from mirador al sur, gorgeous place furnished exactly to our tastes. very high spec furniture and decor and very well presented. situated at the top of a very very steep hill a car is a must have with a good clutch too :) beautiful views over the mountains and of the coast though and the valleys surrounding. great quality supermarket at the bottom of the hill called mercadona selling fantastic fresh seafood and more treats and tasty things than you could shake a stick at. only quibbles no loo roll when we arrived so the ladies of our party were a bit peeved as we had a long car trip before we arrived and the hot water was not exactly plentiful in the mornings for showers. there was only 4 of us and it sleeps 6 but we still had to gamble for the showers. weather was pretty bad only having 2 sunny days and loads of rain and grey clouds so didnt use the unheated pool that much which was a shame as when it was hot it was a great asset for a dip but way too cold when there was no sun. could not have asked for more with the kitchen as we had everything we could have needed and look forward to going back but probably later on in the year so we could use the pool more. i have already agreed with my wife that we shall be going back next year and as a base to relax in we really felt at home. if you get a chance to visit font d'algar just beyond calpe i would highly recommend it as its only 40 minutes away and are simply stunning waterfalls in a national park where you can swim and jump off if you fancy it. only thing i would say is pick a sunny day as it is really COLD!

• Just back from a fantastic stay at your lovely villa and just wanted to say thank you. Everything about it was perfect for our family holiday, which we were desperate for this year, and we could not leave the villa as we enjoyed it so much, so we did not try the recommended restaurants but will try them next year as we have already booked.
  Sally Bingham: Email, Sep 2010
• Thank you for a wonderful stay at Mirador al Sur! We all had an amazing time and can't wait to book again. We will definitely refer friends and family to your company and to the villa. The whole process was easy and well managed. The villa was beautiful, the kitchen well equiped and the pool area was lovely.
  Jane Hincksman: Questionnaire, Sep 2010
• Mirador al Sur is by far the best villa I have ever stayed in. It is 5* luxury at an amazing price. All we kept saying was "WOW" whe we arrived and walked around the villa. The beds, sofas etc were so comfortable. Gorgeous large pool and well equipped villa, everything you could want. Most evenings we sat on the outside sofa suite with a glass of cava admiring the view before popping down to town for dinner. Definetely going back next year. I must also thank all at Villaspain for being so knowledgeable about the area and being so friendly, helpful and efficient.
