This property is beautiful. In its own private gated grounds that are landscaped with exotic palms and cactus, it gives total privacy yet has fantastic views across the Mediterranean below. The pictures don't do the reality justice.
The evening lighting of the outside of the villa and pool enhance the overall alfresco experience. There are plenty of outside areas so that even in our party of 6, you can still have your own space.
It is well equipped with everything required. We didn't lack any items that we found missing in other homes we have stayed at. The large round lounge is superb but we never used it as the outside areas and pool area made it redundant. Air con was a must at night and worked well. Both bathrooms are large with all mod cons. The kitchen has everything required but we ate out every night as it was near and good value.
The location is high up the hillside but a 10 minute or so walk down is simple. We didn't walk back up as after a few drinks and a meal we felt that in the heat it was too much! A taxi was €8.00 euros which we thought fine.
Locally we ate at the Mediterranean restaurant - next to Mojacar estates, we found the food excellent, traditional dishes and Pizza. Value wise we were a bit shocked as for 6 of us, 2 & 3 courses, with drinks came in at about €80 max. We were full. We also ate at the El Gaucho, an Argentinian steak house on the front, easily walkable from the villa, the Steaks are the best. As a starter, the sausage were excellent. The grill chef needs to come to our house and cook our BBQ! More expensive but the meat was excellent. Fillet and chicken cooked to perfect for us. We ate at both places 3 times each!
Mojacar town is a 10 minute drive in land and worth a trip. Traditional village on the hillside. Lunch overlooking the mountains and plain below was great. Little gift shops dotted about.
The beach below offers great facilities. Some of our party went but with a great pool, outdoor shower, fantastic views, cool drinks in fridge and plenty of space for sun and shade, some of us (me) thought why bother!!
The heat during our visit didn't fall below 30 degrees, reaching 38 at noon. We didn't venture far as the heat was energy sapping. On our way to Murcia airport we went to Cartagena. Marina and town. Beautiful clean place.
Overall this is the first villa we would consider coming back to. Casa Redonda is a step up from most. The agent was immediately responsive too, great service.
