About this property

Spacious Farmhouse enjoying Mature Gardens, Heated Private Pool & Stunning Views

Lo siento pero no alquilamos a grupos, solo familias.

Finca Craig is a large traditional Spanish farmhouse with a modern interior, located on the edge of the village of Rotova in the Valencia region of Spain. The house and private gardens enjoy great views over Rotova, the orange groves and the mountains beyond. The front door leads onto a characterful courtyard which borders the farmhouse's cassita, probably one of the oldest stone buildings in the area. The courtyard has a brick barbeque and the large dining table where you will enjoy your alfresco dining. You can also gate off the courtyard should you desire a secure area to keep young children away from the pool at any time. The courtyard opens onto the mature garden including orange, lemon, olive, pine and palm trees. The garden and all outside areas offer complete privacy. The private pool is now heated which allows it to be enjoyed all year round. Off street gated parking is available for four cars.

Downstairs the modern interior houses the lounge/diner, kitchen, utility room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Upstairs has a further three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is British satellite TV, Spanish TV and broadband with WiFi.

Our location offers you a taste of the real Spain without being isolated. You can easily have a fantastic holiday without leaving Rotova and the local bus can take you into Gandia where you can catch fast trains onto Valencia, Barcelona or Madrid. But a hire car undoubtedly opens up further options. There are so many magnificent beaches all down this stretch of coast from secluded to family orientated with bars and lots to do. You can also hire every type of watersport equipment. There are many coastal and mountain villages waiting to be explored and the amenities of Gandia are so close and just 30 minutes takes you to cosmopolitan Denia. Of course if you desire some madness then Benidorm is just a 45 minute drive away, and for clubbers, the ferries to Ibiza are available daily from Gandia or Denia.

Very few locals speak English but they are all very friendly and willing to help. And not yet being a mass tourism location has many advantages, not least the cheap prices in the bars and restaurants!

So why holiday with us? Well we offer superbly maintained, spacious accommodation for 11 adults with a private pool nestled in a mature Mediterranean garden with total privacy. The village has everything you could need a short stroll away, so once here a car is not essential. And this is the real Spain, in a great location, with refreshingly reasonable prices for eating and drinking out. With so many first class beaches on your doorstep, not to mention masses of options for great days out and easy access via Valencia or Alicante airports, then we believe a holiday among our orange groves is just what you need for an unforgettable holiday!

Wonderful relaxing stay at Finca Craig
We have just returned from a fantastic two week holiday at Finca Craig. The Finca was really spacious for our party of 7 (5 adults and 2 children). The pool is amazing to chill out in (and cool off in!). There are plenty of sunloungers, parasols and chairs around the pool so there is always a shady spot to relax in if needed. We loved eating meals at the huge table under the gazebo and made use of the barbecue. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything needed. Our stay was during the heat wave and one day the temperature reached 45 degrees - we were so thankful for the air con in the upstairs bedrooms at night! We didn't hire a car but as you can walk into the centre of Rotova in 5 -10 mins, that wasn't an issue for us. We were able to get everything we needed for our stay. There are 2 small supermarkets, a pharmacy, a bank, 2 bars/restaurants (and the social centre which serves drinks) and a wonderful bakery pretty much on the doorstep. You can also get drinks/pizzas at the sports centre and there is a pizza takaway in the town open weekend evenings. We walked to Alfauir one morning which also has a small supermarket and a couple of bars. We were lucky that our stay coincided with the Moors & Christians fiesta on the first weekend in August which was a real special experience. Colin and Karen were thoughtful and helpful hosts. They respected our privacy but were also available to help eg. when booking a taxi to Gandia beach or making a dinner reservation.

A lovely time in Rótova
Great garden and pool, very well looked after. Pleasant and very helpful hosts who helped us with things like finding a pharmacy and booking a local restaurant. The house was very comfortable. We found the area had many places to visit, not only the long sandy beaches. Would definitely recommend it.

Maravillosa!!
Decidimos pasar unas vacaciones en familia, padres, tíos, primos..y no pudimos encontrar un lugar mejor. Colin es un anfitrión perfecto!! Muy atento, amable y simpático, está siempre que lo necesitas. El exterior de la casa es precioso, muchísimas plantas, árboles frutales, palmeras..y la piscina fantástica. Un cenador estupendo con una mesa enorme, para comer, cenar y disfrutar en familia. El interior de la casa muy bien, 5 habitaciones muy amplias, aire acondicionado, 3 baños, cocina amplia y no falta ni un detalle, sobre todo en menaje. Además Colin nos sorprendió con un detalle de bienvenida que es muy de agradecer, sobre todo cuando llegas cansado por el viaje, pan de pueblo, cookies, leche, vino...etc una maravilla de verdad. Repetiremos seguro. Hemos quedado encantados incluso con sus preciosos mininos que venían a visitarnos cada día 😍. Muchísimas gracias por todo Colin, han sido unos días estupendos en familia y nos hemos sentido como en casa.

Wonderful place for the whole family
We were eight people of all ages who visited for about a week in July, and we had a great time. A wonderful villa with a garden and pool that feels like a small refreshing oasis. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Easy to communicate with when we had questions (directions, tips etc) -- answered quickly, no problems whatsoever. We really appreciated the welcome basket with wine, cheese and bread. Wifi-connection worked well, very easy to log on to. Every room had air condition and ceiling fans which really helped during the warm nights. The house is essentially fitted with everything you need, there is a dishwasher, microwave, gas stove and oven, washing machine, coffee maker, beach towels and more. Having access to a car is essential, since Rotova is a smaller village with just a few small stores. If you want to go to the ocean or go grocery shopping you really need a car. The city of Gandia is about a 15 minute drive away, they have everything you need there, plus a fantastic beach. We went to the beach twice, which was great, but just hanging by ourselves by the pool, in the wonderful garden was probably the best part of our trip. It's all very private, no disturbances, just a great place for the whole family. Highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Colin Craig

Host profile image
My wife Karen and I used to run an outside catering company and a canal-side pub in England but now we enjoy a more chilled out life in Spain. We've been married for over 30 years. We always worked seven days a week from and so always dreamed of having a place abroad to escape to now and again where we can recharge the batteries. We were lucky enough to fight off fierce competition to buy this Spanish finca in 2009 which we believe offers an idyllic holiday location for everyone. Rest assured that we will do everything we can to make your holiday as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.

Why they chose this property

This is a rustic Spanish farmhouse with a modern interior, enjoying a very private established garden with its own heated pool. The area is a favourite holiday location with the Spanish, particularly from Madrid, but has not been discovered by UK mass tourism. This is to your advantage as this holiday hot spot has very many attributes. The region is unspoilt Spain with so much to explore; food and drink prices are refreshingly low; and there are so many stunning beaches at your disposal. We are on the edge of a lovely and very friendly village with all your essentials just a five minute stroll down the lane. Located mid-way between Valencia and Alicante airports (just over an hours drive to each) makes us easily accessible with cheap flights. Then you are nestled among orange groves but only a ten minute drive to the amenities of Gandia or 30 minutes to cosmopolitan Denia. Of course if you desire some madness then Benidorm is just a 45 minute drive away, and for clubbers, the ferries to Ibiza are available daily from Gandia or Denia.

What makes this property unique

We offer you a taste of the real Spain in tranquil surroundings. The finca (farmhouse) is on the edge of the village of Rotova in the middle of orange groves. A stroll into the village will give you three bakers, a butcher, three mini supermarkets, a chemist, a florist, hairdressers, a bank with cash machine, four bar/restaurants, takeaway wood-fired pizza house and a tourist information. So you can find all you need on the doorstop but there is also gated parking for four cars. The finca has an established garden with many orange, lemon, olive and palm trees surrounding the private pool with complete privacy. Within a 15 minute drive you can find stunning beaches and scenery, a whole range of restaurants and quaint old towns to explore. We will always meet you on your arrival at the property at any time of the day or night to settle you in, a comprehensive free welcome pack of food and drink awaits you, and we are always on call so you need never feel isolated. We will make every effort to ensure you enjoy a fantastic holiday with us.
