• Wonderful villa, Rachel & David really helpful and visible. Thanks Sue and Steve for being so helpful in directions and during our stay particularly after the eventful journey. Although the weather was mixed there was a lot to do, time to relax in the sun and enjoy the sun and enjoy the "chilling from it all tranquillity". We left Burgundy at -9 deg c and arrived here to 18 deg c on our irst day in just 800 miles. .......... Mr. & Mrs. M. Burgundy France (January/February 2010)
• A week in the villa to explore the area was lovely ! Loved Denia at night & all the old towns. Great local food. Rachel and David couldn't be more helpful. Thanks for an easy trip. ........... The T group - Sydney, Australia (October 2009)
• Our first holiday abroad  with a 1 yr old and she loved every minute ! All the restaurants we went to welcomed her and even played with her. We all loved the "Rib and Chips" night at "El Cantaro" ! Denia is a lovely place to visit especially the Les Marina - good views and food ! We went to Latitude. The villa was wonderful & the Welcome Pack was very handy after an early start. We look forward to out next visit ! ............. The S Family (September 2009)
• Our first visit to Orba/Villa Rosa and also our first trip abroad with a 2 year old! The villa is like a home from home, very comfortable, a great array of films and with everything we could need. Rachel has been fantastic and baked a birthday cake so that our eldest could celebrate his 12th birthday in style. We loved Orba - El Cantaro's pool is great and the restaurant food is fabulous. Also found some creature comforts at "Central Perk" in Orba - fantastic English breakfasts!!  We would love to come back back one day - the weather has been perfect and a welcome break from our typical English summer back home. Thanks Sue and Steve for all the information and advice, it's been wonderful.  ............. The N. Family (August 2009)
• Thanks for the Welcome Pack! Very much enjoyed our trip. Lovely views, Apparently it has been the hottest week for 62 years ...   Loved going to the waterfalls, even worth the trip on the windy roads! Many thanks!  ......... The H. Family (July/August 2009)
• Had a fantastic week. Villa superb, & so near to such a wonderful coastline. Les Rotes was great (nr. Denia); with snorkels even better!!. Another visit to Guadalest - still a gem in the mountains. Also managed a visit to the Fonts de l'Algar. Great fun. Thank you so much Rachel for making our stay welcoming - certainly comforting when our suitcase was lost for a day in Alicante Airport!!.  All creature comforts you could want. Many thanks Sue & Steve for letting us stay here. xxxx.  Will be in touch next year! ..... The T. family (August 2009)

El Cid Restaurant & Bar - Very nice with beautiful views, great food and a pool. Javea is a lovely place with a lovely beach and shops, restaurants & Bars, Scallops is a must. ...

• We found the villa to be well equipped, and the best "Welcome Pack" that we have ever had in the two years we've been visiting Orba.   The villa looked great when we arrived and I would like to thank you so much for making it Christmassy for us......... the welcome pack was fantastic as were the gifts.     Christmas day we had a wonderful lunch on the terrace and even found room for some Christmas pud with cream.      The fireworks through the valleys and villages were great and we sat out until 1ish on 1/1/08. .......The views were stunning, as usual.      Thank you for all the Christmas Extras, tree, presents, cards & even "fizz" for the New Year ! ..............   Martin & Martina ( Dec 07- Jan 08)

• Third visit and the best yet, as ever villa was the perfect home from home and the addition of Sue Quirk provides everything you would ever need. Would recommend for the kids the water park at Cullera, loads of slides and parks for younger ones too. Get the train for a day out in Valencia., a beautiful historical city, drive to Gandia and jump on the air conditioned, comfortable train for next to nothing. Plenty of places to eat locally (El Cantaro, Pizzeria at bottom of hill etc,) but for a more lively area, head into Javea and drive towards "Arenal Platjes", park where you can and walk to the seafront. Food ranges from British platefuls in Scallops to Spanish and Italian others - we ate next door to Scallops (look for red camps-pyramids) - excellent. Weather was great - one spectacular storm and the rest Hot Hot Hot - back soon we hope - Thank You ! ........ Mr. and Mrs. J (August 2007)
• Our second stay at your beautiful villa.  Weather was excellent being 27.  We feel comfortable and relaxed due to the home from home feeling.  Villa is a great size and the improvements have made a difference for the better.  The Safari Park at El Verger is great and a must see especially families with children, or big kids like my husband and I.  Sue the housekeeper is very friendly and very helpful.  Will be back 2008/9/10........  We absolutely love the location and villa! Thank you. . ............ Mr. & Mrs B-W (March 2007)

• As always we had a lovely stay at the Villa and even though the weather was changeable, the El Cantaro pool was bliss. It is so nice to have a 'home from home' which is how we see Villa Rosa, and all the extras such as the use of the beach towels & hairdryer saves on packing space. Sue Q is an asset to your villa; very helpful, thoughtful & caring. I'm sure we'll be back for our 7th visit next year ! ..... The S Family. (June 2006)

• Can't think of a better Christmas than the one we have just spent at Villa Rosa. This was our first visit but we are sure it will be the first of many. A big thank you Sue for your help on our arrival and for the Christmas extras you left us. I have spent many Christmases and New Years abroad but can honestly say have never found such a nice villa as yours.  The views are spectacular, the facilities excellent and the housekeeper both friendly and helpful.  We shall without doubt be contacting you again with a view to booking.  The little extras that you provided for us were over and above anything we could have expected.  So once again a big thank you. ......

• Our second visit to Villa Rosa & our eighth to Orba. We had a really lovely holiday, Sue & Steve have a lovely villa, & housekeeper Sue is helpful and kind, the new suite and the arrangement of it works really well. We were delighted with the improvements added for this year. The gas fire came in really useful for the first couple of days and the heated towel rails not only dried the towels but took the chill off the bathroom and cloakroom. K.... liked the new cooker. Sue really is an asset ..... Mrs. L (April 2005.)
• Another great week, sorry to leave.  Once again we had a very good week at the villa, an enjoyable and peaceful stay.

Hoping we can book another week about late Sept. ..... Mr. and Mrs R (April 2005)

I keep looking at our photos & wish we were there! & we're really looking forward to next year .... Mrs. L. (April 2004)
• This has been our second day. What we love is the tranquillity & the ability to truly relax. The DVD has been a great addition for the evenings. When the sun shines, there is no better place to be.
