Our first family holiday for 7 years and we all really enjoyed the villa and the surrounding area. Louise was very helpful in arranging the details of our stay and the villa maintenance staff where very helpful also. The villa is extremly wheelchair friendly, and as a family we had a fantastic time. If you are looking for a little piece of heaven and relaxation, then this villa is for you. Would highly recommend it and hopefully will be back again.

we just spent a week at the villa in alfaz del pi. It was wonderful. The villa was exactly as advertised and my son who is paraplegic was able to completely maintain his independence due to the facilities it provided. With a bit of assistance from us he even managed to get in the pool and it was brilliant seeing him playing in the water with his neice. I would totally recomend this villa as being very suitable for anyone who is disabled and will certainley be hoping to return.

I cannot sing the praises of this accommodation loud enough! we had long searched for suitable accommodation for my partner and I to take our son on our first family holiday abroad. Stephen, 11 is in a wheelchair and loves his home comforts. With the privacy of the villa, the private pool we had no challenges with making him comfortable, with him having access to every room and to us feeling safe with him asleep while we chatted by the pool.
I can't recommend this accommodation enough to other disabled travellers. It has everything you need...a real home from home, with a friendly feel. Louise was great to deal with and the guys who met us at the accommodation were friendly and efficient... A must go!!!

We would like to make a note that the vanity basin in the shower room in this villa has been adapted to allow easier wheelchair accessibility. A manual shower chair is also provided.
