Casa de Gienia - Beautiful Bungalow by the pool in Los Altos, Torrevieja

Hello and thank you for choosing to read about our holiday home.

Set amongst the wonderful views of Los Altos ('The Heights' in English), Our home has plenty to offer - whether you're stopping over for a short winter break or a two week summer holiday for you and the kids, 'Casa de Gienia' can fulfill your needs!

We take it upon ourselves to update and refurbish parts of the property yearly so that each year our guests experience something new and fresh.

As can be seen from the pictures, one of the favourite attributes to our abode is the fact that we are almost literally on top of the pool (the access gate is in front and to the left our front door.)
This makes for easy supervision of the kids, and even for great picturesque views (Check out the roof pictures).

In our opinion, our home is perfectly suited for Small Families and Couples.

The surrounding area has plenty going on and yet our actual Urbanisation is very tranquil - NEVER any loud noises from pubs or bars, and yet there are plenty only a 5, 10 or 20 min walk away. If you'd like something a little more in the clubbing region Torrevieja town is only a couple of kilometres away, easily accessable by the letter 'D' bus (Which stops just round the corner) or by taxi for a few euros.

Waterparks, go karting, 5 aside football pitches and indeed actual recreational parks with children's play areas are all close by.

Our nearest supermarket is Consum, at around a brisk 6 minute walk away offers up plenty if you fancy those relaxing home-cooked meal nights at home, and is very reasonably priced.

If one day you find that you can't sleep early morning, get yourself upstairs and watch the sunrise over the mediterranean (I know I have a couple of times, and it's very peaceful.)

There's just so much going on and I'm unable to list everything on here without going overboard so I'll be bullet pointing the rest. If you'd like to know anything else in the mean time, please don't hesitate to ask.

Some last points to remember:

- Great views from the solarium
- Plenty of peace and tranquility
- Basic Sky television
- One of the closest properties to the pool
- Beautiful dual waterfall and standard shower
- Modern high quality kitchen
- BBQ for use
- Open recreational space, 5 a side football pitch and kids play areas all very close
- Plenty of bars and restaurants within a 5-15 minute walk
- Even more within a 20 minute walk
- Closest beach is only 1 mile away, and many others a little further either side
- Air conditioning
- Ample parking

Misleading listing, property not up to standard

The property was in a great location- a stone’s throw from the pool in a safe quiet area. The listing describes the property as recently refurbished….. this is misleading. Numerous fixtures and fittings were worn out or broken. To give examples the fridge freezer had rust showing, the shower was broken, the bath and toilet were both damaged, the provided sun beds x 2 and sun umbrella were all broken. Worst of all the sofa which was unpleasant. It was covered by a throw in a unsuccessful effort to disguise that the plastic coating that was disintegrating and shedding. There was a continuous floor dusting of black flakes and debris, disgusting. Communication with the owner before our trip was great, and he helped us with a couple of initial queries when we arrived concerning the TV and the alarm. However we quickly started to spot the issue with the condition of things. We reached out early to report some damage and the host thanked us for letting him know but made no offer to fix things. Later in the holiday we summarised the catalogue of issues looking for solutions and was told that these would all be fixed after the summer period (when we had left). There was no offer to provide replacement items (so no sunbeds nor sun umbrella for us). There was no apology that his recently refurbished property was clearly not up to the advertised standard and no offer for compensation. Vrbo customer service despite many communication attempts failed to resolve the issue also.

Perfect base to explore the area

The property was within an urbanisation but inward facing away from the road and with a view of the communal pool, which was used daily I might add. Thomas’ directions on where to park for easy access were spot on and very helpful indeed. The facilities available (air conditioning, UK TV channels, washing machine, roof terrace etc) were great, and although we did eat out most days, we also cooked a few meals at the villa too. We found it to be a perfect base to explore around the area and would definitely consider revisiting again.

Sun Trap

Right from the first contact with Thomas through to final instructions on finding the property the process was easy. Once your there you have everything you need, should you wish to cook all the utensils you need are there. Cooker is great and a big fridge for the beers and wine. Fantastic sun trap roof terrace and right next to a really lovely clean pool. Consum supermarket is a five minute walk away or bars and restaurants just as close. All in all, just the job for a relax in the sun.

Week in the villa

Overall the place was very easy to find (we flew into Alicante airport), within walking distance of a large supermarket. The large terrace was great to sit out on an evening which also included a BBQ. The pool is nice and during our week was never crowded. The area was very quite especially on an evening. The owner was in contact before our stay with additional information. I would recommend this villa :)

Amazing place to stay

We have recently returned from 2 weeks staying in this property, and what a wonderful little property it is. It was very clean on our arrival. The home had everything you would need to make your holiday really pleasurable. It was lovely sitting outside the front door in the mornings for breakfast overlooking the lovely pool. The upstairs solarium is a real suntrap for all sun worshippers. A large parasol was provided for guests who require some shade. It was so hot during our holiday that this got a lot of use. It was lovely sitting here at 7.30am in the morning and watching the sun rise. We also watched an electrical storm one evening from here which was amazing to see. The shower was great as you could choose either waterfall shower or a normal. The shower was over the bath so you also had the option of using the bath. This was great for getting rid of all suntan lotion used during the day. The steps up to the roof terrace were quite steep and care had to be taken when carrying items up and down. A very small kitchen, but we had no problems with this as it is well equipped with everything that would be needed whilst on holiday. A lovely pool right opposite the property was fab. We were able to sunbathe on the roof terrace and when the pool area had gone quiet, we could look down to see an ideal time for us to pop over. We managed this several times and were able to have the pool area to ourselves. It does however get quite busy at certain times of the day, usually mid-late morning and late afternoon and into early evening. If you don't mind walking, then a car is not required as everything is within walking distance if you are happy to walk for half hour. We found a couple of lovely bars within 5 minutes. 20 minutes uphill were some great English bars and 25 minutes down the hill were many more bars with the beach slightly further than this. When we had any questions we wanted answering we emailed the owner and he responded almost immediately and usually within the hour. The local bus into Torrevieja is well worth using with the bus stop almost outside the property and costing 1 Euro 35 per adult each way. We used the bus in and got a taxi home which was not expensive. Zenia Boulevard is well worth a visit .. very impressive! We had an amazing holiday and are so glad that we chose this property as it was ideal for what we wanted. A relaxing 2 weeks in the sun in a very tranquil setting. Thank you very much!!

Comfortable and evrything you require for an enjoyable break

We enjoyed our stay as the location suited our requirements and we would not hesitate to recommend the accommodation,The property is situated in a quiet location, the pool and roof terrace are a bonus, however there are not many amenities or choice of restaurants in the immediate area and although there is a reliable bus service a car would be a great advantage to visit the attractions in the local area (as Taxis are very hit or miss)

This bungalow was perfekt for us on our holiday! A bit small, but we managed. It was a big and fin pool right outside the front door. The nearest supermarked are just a short walk away, and about 20 minutes walk from other shops and restaurants.

Es war eine schöne Zeit!

In Kürze das Wichtigste! - Es war sauber! - Die Kommunikation hat super funktioniert! - Der Pool ist sauber und wird ständig gereinigt und überprüft! - Der Pool befindet sich direkt vor der Haustür! Kinder ab acht dürfen da auch alleine schwimmen. Sie sollten es können! - Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in direkter Nähe / verschiedene Strände sind recht gut mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Ein Auto sollte man aber unbedingt vor Ort haben. - Ich würde die Küchenausstattung einmal durchsortieren und irgendwann neue Matrazen für das große Bett anschaffen.

Viel Renovierungsbedarf

Meine Frau und ich waren von Mitte bis Ende Mai in dieser Wohnung. Man wohnt in einer der üblichen Urbanisations in Südspanien, die in der Nebensaison zu 80% leerstehen. Die Bewohner sind in erster Linie Rentner aus England, Spanien , Nordeuropa und Deutschland. Deshalb ist es schon sehr ruhig. Los Altos gehört aber zu den eher angenehmen Urbanisations. Der vom Vermieter genannte nächste Strand weißt allerdings nur eine Breite von etwa 25 Metern aus, der erste vernünftige Strand befindet sich in Torrevieva und ist mit dem Auto in 10 Minuten erreichbar. Der kleine Bungalow ist an sich sehr nett. Es gab allerdings erhebliche Probleme. Diese scheinen auch Herrn Ash, dem Vermieter, bekannt zu sein. Wir fanden jedenfalls eine To Do Liste mit 25 zu erledigenden Punkten, von denen nur einer abgehakt war, nämlich der Kauf eines neuen Grills. Tatsächlich steht auf der Dachterrasse ein unbenutzter Webergrill. Hervorzuheben ist auch der gegenüberliegenden Salzwasserpool mit ca. 17 Metern Länge. Die lange To Do Liste hat aber durchaus ihre Berechtigung. Alle Punkte abzuarbeiten würde den Rahmen sprengen. Deshalb nur die gravierensten Mängel: Bei der Ankunft standen wir vor einem verschlossenem Bungalow . Trotz klarer Information an Herrn Ash über Ankunftszeit im Vorfeld war dieser erst nach mehreren Anrufen in England erreichbar und konnte uns erklären, wie wir in den Bungalow kommen. Leute ohne ziemlich gute Englischkenntnisse hätten den Zugang nie gefunden. Bei Problemen sollten wir uns bei ihm melden. Der Mann wohnt aber mehr als 3000 km entfernt. Die Dachterrasse besteht aus 2 Bänken, einem Tisch, einem kaputten Sonnenschirm ohne Ständer. Alles ist reif für den Müll. Der Boden müsste dringend gereinigt werden. Nutzwert: null Die Küche ist die nächste Katastrophe. Wir fanden eingetrockneten Nescafee und Zucker, verfettete Kochtöpfe ohne Deckel, vergilbte Teebeutel , Chaos in den Schränken. Es gab nicht einmal einen einfachen Kaffeefilter, von einer Kaffeemaschine oder einer Handespressomaschine ganz zu schweigen. Es gibt ein Fahrrad, dies ist abgeschlossen, ein Schlüssel existiert nicht. Dvd und CD Spieler sind defekt. Die Liste ließe sich fortsetzen. Wir kommen gerne in diese Gegend zurück, aber nicht in die Casa di Gienia. Lothar und Martina Schreiner

Wohlfühloase

Wir haben uns von der ersten Minute an im Haus,im Areal und in der Urbanisation total wohlgefühlt.Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter lief reibungslos :-).Wir werden das Frühstücken auf der kleinen Terrasse und die Sonnenuntergänge on Top sehr vermissen. Sehr empfehlenswert und gerne wieder.
