House hunting in our part of "Real Spain"

Last week we had Clare and John staying with us from Pembrokeshire. They were spending a couple of weeks in the Valencia region house hunting. We were delighted with the guest book entry they left.

We have enjoyed 4 memorable, if damp, days at the Casa Blanca Rural in Montichelvo. Our hosts, Neil and Caroline, couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Through emails, we explained that we were visiting the area with the intention of finding a simple retreat in rural Spain and, by the time we arrived, they had drawn up a list of trustworthy English speaking estate agents and even found a couple of local properties for us to consider.

Casa blanca Rural is beautiful – clean, comfortable, full of character and homely touches. Neil and Caroline went out of their way to help us in our search, keen to impart local knowledge. Having sold up and moved into a small Spanish community themselves, who better to ask for opinions and advice? Each morning we would chat about our plans for the day and each evening, discuss the results. They know the area, the people, the culture and the geography. They fit in here and have been accepted into village life – we would recommend anyone looking for property in Real Spain to spend a few days here – they have so much information that they are keen to share.

Although we did not see the village at it's best because of the weather, we could see from photos that the views are fantastic. The access to the coast via the CV60 is fast and easy. It is a perfect base to search – quiet and relaxed yet close to the amenities of towns where the estate agents are located.

We will be back to see Montichelvo in the sunshine. Thanks Neil and Caroline.

We have always been very fortunate with the guests that have stayed with us here at Casa Blanca Rural. It is always lovely to spend time with family and friends when they are able to visit and it is also lovely to meet new people such as Clare and John. Hopefully they will find their property in Real Spain and we look forward to seeing more of them in the future.
