Beautiful stay!!!

One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The journey to Rocote itself was lovely, with some great terrain and scenery. The property was so peaceful with a beautiful pool and bar area. Tim was an excellent host and very accommodating. We went to a supermarket in Blanca (20 minutes), which had a massive fresh meat counter and nearly everything we needed. There was only a couple of things I couldn’t get for our little girl,so went to the big (SUPER BIG!) Carrefour at Murcia (50 minutes).

Stunning sunsets

Remote, peacefully tranquil with an excellently maintained pool. The views from the huge patio are exceptional. Take mountain walks straight from the front door or just relax for a while and listen to the countrysidw that surrounds you. Bar la Carmen, an authentic Spanish bar (1/2 mile to the road) is excellent but do try a little Spanish, they appreciate it. The host, Tim is easy to contact and Carlos is local should you need anything more. We've been 5 times!

Summer Getaway

We had a fabulous time at the Villa . It is remote so don’t expect lots of entertainment on the door step so if your looking for pubs and clubs it’s not for you, we especially loved the pool which had awesome views of the mountains The rooms and Villa were ample for our group 2 adult couples and two teenagers . The mattress was firm but comfortable. No air con other than fans but the villa was cool enough at night for it not to matter and we had day temps of 35-40 Tim was easy to communicate with and we had no problems getting in or leaving . . We did a few day trip and stocked up on supermarkets with food and Vino. we will def come again . Wi-fi is limited so don’t expect to work away from home . That suited us though .as we all connected with time together Great summer getaway perfect weather comfortable villa with all you need.

Perfect week of relaxation

My wife and I have had an excellent week. The property is in a perfect location with amazing views and is very comfortable. This is the third time staying here and I can not rate it highly enough. The owner was very helpful and generous- all the way through the booking process and during the stay, nothing was too much trouble.

A beautiful, peaceful location.

We stayed at the villa in August 2023 for 2 weeks. There were two families staying- we had a fantastic time. The pool is amazing and the sunset is breathtaking. The villa is a good size and was big enough to accommodate 9 of us. The owner is always on hand when needed and responded to messages very quickly. We went during a very hot summer and it was uncomfortable at times in the villa, even though Tim brought another fan for us during our stay- more fans were needed. We did find the villa hard to find and the dirt track to the villa is very narrow and bumpy. We would have liked more instructions on how to work the pizza oven and possibly wood provided for this would have been appreciated. We visited Bar Carmen which is a 10 min walk and it was lovely, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was amazing! We enjoyed the mountain walks which are at the start of the villa. The local town of Blanca was beautiful and we enjoyed many days/evenings there, swimming in the river. Blanca has everything that you need. Overall we had a fantastic time and would recommend the villa to people who are wanting a peaceful holiday in a very remote area with a fantastic pool.

Great place to stay for 2 families with kids

We had an amazing time at this beautiful villa. The views and sun sets are simply breath taking and we must have taken over a hundred photos! Direct from the house there are some lovely country mountain walks and great cycling around the windy roads. We did trip to bar del Carmen for a local Spanish experience which is a 10 minute stroll down the track. They don't speak much English but we're very friendly. About 35 minutes away is a fun water park and a decent golf course. The house had everything a family needs for a peaceful and relaxing stay away from it all. The pizza oven is great fun and there are two bbqs which we used most days. The owner told us he had recently refurbished the property and installed a brand new kitchen which certainly looked new. The bedrooms are simple and clean and the temperature inside the house is cool, even when we had 33 degrees outside. We spent most of the time in the swimming pool and bar area which everyone enjoyed. Have already re booked as we didn't want to leave. Thanks for a great stay!

What a fabulous location and villa! We had a lovely time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The villa is spacious with a large living area and comfortable bedrooms but the outside space is great. The views, particularly during sunset, from the terrace are spectacular. The villa is at the start of a great hiking route with even more views to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this villa.

Great holiday

Stayed for the whole of October with various friends and family at different times. Weather was great but pool a bit chilly for us women although we did venture in a few times. Men and kids were in all the time. Lovely rural location with hiking trails on the doorstep. Tim was brilliant as one fridge packed up and within 2 days a new one was delivered and installed by Carlo (pool man). Overall a brilliant month with quality time together for everyone. Thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful family holiday.

See the views and say WOW.

The location is very quiet, peaceful and the views are stunning. Walk out of the door onto tracks to take you directly up into the mountains. The farmhouse is basic but adequate and to be honest in the summer you will really be outside on the patio or by the excellent pool.

Wow, stunning location!!

This house is in an awesome location and is a stunning place. I wish it were mine. The owner (Tim) seems really great and was good at communication. The property is a bit rough around the edges when it comes to kitchen fit-out and furniture but it is also really affordably priced. Tim is aware of this and I think he is planning some updates. View is amazing, pool is brilliant. We had a great time.

Wonderful views

It is the end of season and the property is a little tired, needs repainting. The approach path is not good (maybe due to the recent gota fria). The pool has beautiful view over the valley. We lost water for a day (often happens in Spain) and Tim was very concerned about this and did everthing he could do to help us.

Getting there is fine, talk to the owner before to check the detail. Tim, is very helpful. The track to the farm house is rough but this is a mountain farm house and with care absolutely fine. Patio and pool - stunning. Pizza oven is brilliant. We went to Carrefour in Mercia for food other supermarkets are around. We would go back, no hesitation.

Relaxing, remote, amazing view, great pool!

My friends and I had an excellent time at Tim's villa. The view from the patio is amazing, we spent pretty much all of our time out there, BBQing and swimming in the heated pool. We didn't have any kids with us, but there were plenty of toys around, and as adults we still enjoyed the pool floaties and the great selection of board games! The place had everything we needed for a few days of relaxation, even a juicer! There was plenty of space for a large group (there were 12 of us), and it was spectacular to be so remote, yet so easily accessible. I would highly recommend!

Spain in Spring

Villa is absolutely amazing, the location is breathtaking, so peaceful, (until we turned up) brilliant views. Very spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, great storage . Was worried that April would be too cold but heated pool meant we could still spend lots of time in the pool, had to drag the kids out or they would've stayed in until midnight. Some really good games in the house so was brilliant for us all, had an amazing time. Great communication with Tim, can not wait to go back, thank you

Peace and tranquility in this lovely villa with stunning pool!

If you want to stay in a spacious, well-equipped house with stunning views and immaculate, huge pool where the only sound you hear is the local fauna, then Tim's Villa is the perfect place. We stayed for two fantastic weeks and never heard the sound of a car, except for José's, coming to clean the pool. It was truly the most peaceful place we have stayed. Although it was over 30 degrees during the day, the house remained cool which meant sleeping at night was pleasant - unlike some other hot houses we've stayed at. We enjoyed some amazing bbq's and dinners on the huge terrace while watching stunning sunsets over the mountains beyond. But without doubt, the pool with its two jacuzzis was the star of the show. There are some fantastic walks straight out of the property and the stroll down to the Bar Carmen, passing by wild rosemary and thyme bushes was a pleasure. We stayed during the first 2 weeks of the World Cup and although we wouldn't normally be interested in watching TV, having English satellite channels meant we were able to celebrate a few victories! So thanks Tim for letting us stay in your wonderful place and also for being so helpful and attentive during the booking process and while we were there. We hope we'll be back!

It's not a good villa, it's a great villa!

We visited paradise in June 2018 on the occasion of our 14th annual golf competition. 8 of us in total and during the course of our stay we counted 37 fabulous things about the villa. We have sent a copy of these to the amazing host (Timothy Patrick Spurling), who mentioned that he might even create a poster of them to hang on the wall. Here are just a sample: 1. Beautiful Pool and Jacuzzi, 2: Amazing Vista Views 3: Large BBQ 4. Lots of extra comfortable chairs for lazing around the pool 5. Extra comfortable beds 6. Lovely towels 7. Well stocked kitchen 8. Extra speedy internet connection 9. Incredible walks around the villa 10. Lots of championship standard golf course within easy drive...the list goes on. Book today, you will not be disappointed.

Five Star property, Completely relaxing and amazing location

My friends and I had a wonderful long weekend at this beautiful farm house in Ricote valley. The weather was fantastic and got up to 30 degrees and we spent 3 days relaxing, swimming, eating bbq's and drinking very tasty cold Estrella. We did manage to get out for one walk through the mountains and also a must visit - the natural baths and spa in Archena where you can have a range of treatments or just enjoy the varied saunas, jacuzzis and outdoor pools. The house is spacious and clean but we spent most of our time outdoors on the big sun terrace and round the pool which is west facing so you get the sun all day and lovely sun sets every night. Would strongly recommend this house.
