Review - 1 We had a fabulous time at your beautiful house, it really is a great place. La Font is a great little place with such friendly locals' (A Orr) The house was a perfect base & had all the facilities we needed when we fancied a lazy day! This region is well worth revisiting.' (D Gummerson, July 2004) 'We had a wonderful time in La Font, a very different holiday. The village is beautiful and traditional with easy access to everthing, and the house was perfect. We will certainly recommend it to our friends.' (P Sullivan, June 2004) 'We thought the house was lovely & really fell in love with the area which we have never been to before. The beaches are incredible & we found some lovely places to eat - mainly at lunch times!' (The Battens, 2002) 'We would like to compliment you on not only the furnishing of Casa Ribalta, but for all the additional items that were provided. It really was like a home from home in the range, & quality, of household equipment.' (The Stephens's, 2002)

Review - 2 Really charming village house, private and astonishingly quiet given its location - you forget that you're in the middle of the village until you need to pop out to the shops or a bar - great to be able to do so without needing a car. Our son (and we) loved the easy access to the pool - and we appreciated the ease of access by train to Valencia. The owner's information is honest and clear but the photos don't do it justice. The air conditioning was hugely welcome. The depth of the pool at the shallower end made it perfect for a child.
