First of all I'd like to say that Nic and Nancy could not have been more helpful and friendly. They have been so flexible during recent travel uncertainties and provided lots of useful information and tips for our stay during the Christmas and New Year period, including finding out local restaurant and supermarket opening times for us, providing menus and telephone numbers and generally sharing their knowledge. They were very attentive, answered all our questions promptly, and made sure we were absolutely happy with all arrangements.
We stayed in the one-bedroom villa in El Capistrano pueblo. It was spacious, clean, comfortable, nicely furnished and well-equipped. The walkway to the entrance is private and the south-facing, walled terrace provided a lovely spot for meals and lounging (table and chairs, sun loungers, pretty garden border). The villa is located very conveniently close to two big supermarkets (Mercadona and Carrefour), both just a few minutes walk away, and a bus stop for town is nearby (although we hired a car and had no trouble parking on site). We had lovely meals in nearby restaurants, both just a few minutes walk away (La Brasería Ibérica at Hotel Los Arcos across the road and Las Fuentes) on evenings when we didn't want to go into town. Good lunches on the beach at Burriana too (walking distance if you don't mind uphill back!)
Capistrano village itself is beautiful; I never tire of meandering the pathways and terraces between the different levels of properties and stumbling across hidden swimming pools or marvelling at the orange and purple climbing plants offset against the white walls and blue sky (especially welcome in December!)
We had a lovely winter break here and cannot recommend our hosts highly enough. Thank you Nic and Nancy!
