Casa Amarilla - Luxury ground floor of spectacular villa
Villa with 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 4, Garden, Swimming Pool
Situated against a stunning mountain backdrop Casa Amarilla sits in over 4000 m² of its own grounds. The owners live on the upper floor keeping the entire ground floor as a completely self-contained guest suite with wonderful views of the gardens and surrounding mountains.
Being both private and secluded it is a place of great tranquility while nonetheless being wonderfully practical set as it is amidst the lovely, verdant countryside on the edge of the La Safor National Park.
The master bedroom has been designed to be a romantic haven from the heat of the Spanish summer and the interior feels like an extension of the garden with a tranquil pale pink and white décor. The king size bed is simply beautiful with a white enamelled ironwork frame and brass fittings below a white canopy. French windows open directly onto a covered terrace. Step outside and the theme is continued with white wicker furniture where you can relax and breathe in the mountain air and the amazing scenery. An open terrace adjoins the naya for sun-worshippers or al-fresco dining in the evening.
The second bedroom, originally the water store for the villa, has been lovingly re-designed to form a bedroom that continues the water theme. Decorated in pale blue, white and yellow it has a king size bed that can be arranged as two single beds if required. French windows lead onto the terrace shared with the master bedroom.
The spacious lounge has two settees giving more than ample provision for relaxing yet the room feels uncluttered. A wood burning stove provides additional atmosphere in the autumn and winter months. There is satellite TV, DVD and a music system.
The fully appointed kitchen includes oven, ceramic hob, fridge (with freezer compartment), microwave and dishwasher. There is a dining area suitable for up to 6 people.
There are two bathrooms, one with a large corner bath and the second with a walk-in shower.
We also offer activity holidays at Casa Amarilla - 2008/9 we have Painting Holidays in the Sun. Please enquire for details.

" - Elizabeth, Essex
"Just to say thanks for a fabulous and relaxing holiday (all of which we were in need of)! The villa is beautiful and Graham’s hospitality was welcoming and friendly (his cooking wasn’t bad either)! It is a shame we didn’t get to meet you Linda – next time!
We all had a wonderful time and will definitely be back again and recommending Casa Amarilla to our friends and family.
We particularly loved the dressing gowns but luckily we managed to leave them behind!
Thanks again it was lovely." - Emma, Cat, Elaine and Laura
"Surrounded by beautiful tranquil mountains, away from the madding crowd, it’s difficult to imagine a more peaceful and unforgettable holiday in Spain.
The Garden apartment was certainly the icing on the cake in making our stay enjoyable.
We will certainly be returning to Casa Amarilla.
" - Glynis and Peter, Wyatts Green, Brentwood
"Graham and Linda
We’ve had the most amazing 10 days here. Casa Amarilla has been an absolute gem of a find! It’s been the perfect setting for spending our first wedding anniversary. So much to see and so much to do, it’s been hard cramming it all in and wish we’d stayed longer, (may be next time!).
The villa is beautiful and peaceful with an amazing backdrop of hills and mountains. We’ve wanted for nothing – you’ve made our stay here truly unforgettable. Thank you, thank you." - Jamie and Trina, Staverton, Wilts
