Lovely Private Villa
We were looking for a villa with a private boundary and found it in Casa Ramaje. After receiving superb directions from Juliette, we were met at the villa by Sid (the Agent), who was very helpful and funny.
The villa is lovely, in a very quiet residential road, just a short walk to a small supermarket (English) and a Swiss restaurant (very friendly and good food). There were inflatables for the pool and plenty of seating/sunbeds. The pool area catches the sun all day until you feel like heading out for dinner, and there are two additional tables with chairs around the side of the house to get away from the hubbub around the pool.
The kitchen is very well stocked with equipment and - hooray! - the beds are comfortable: the best we've ever slept in at a villa!
We loved the large walk-in shower, and the en-suite meant it didn't get too congested before going out in the evening - even with two teenage girls!
There are two beaches closer than Arenal - not really within walking distance though - Ambolo (naturist, although we saw people in shorts etc, with a long flight of steps down and no facilities - and no shade until later in the afternoon) and Granadella (which has a nice bar).
The Arenal has the nightlife, with plenty of restaurants and boutique-y shops, and there are stalls interspersed between the runs of eateries some evenings, selling mainly jewellery. You may well be accosted by sellers of sunglasses and roses while you eat, although they DO take no for an answer. Also, the Spanish don't appear to have heard of the smoking ban in restaurants and there are no designated areas set aside for those who don't indulge (the only downside to eating out, we found). Parking is plentiful and easy, and even when we visited the market at Moraira we found you didn't have to pay!
We had the most relaxing holiday in perfect weather and a really lovely villa, and look forward to returning to Casa Ramaje in the future. Our thanks to Juliette and Martin for sharing their lovely hideaway with us.
