A few sunset photos taken this evening from the terrace of CCV after a busy few days attending to some of the end of season maintenance work.

The upper outside area comprising of the BBQ Area/Summer Kitchen/Chill Out Area taking up most of the time so far.

A few early morning shots taken today at Casa Con Vista & a mid morning drone flight from the villa............which was fairly close to going 'all wrong'!!!

Whilst the regularity of our social media postings would suggest otherwise – it has nonetheless been a busy season at Casa Con Vista.

Somehow our amazing luck continues with regards the quality of the absolutely superb guests to the villa.

The positive feedback we have had from CCV guests this year is once again immeasurable in terms of the happiness it provides to us in the knowledge that CCV has provided for others, the same pleasure it always provides for us.

The photos attached were taken around a week ago and provided to us by the last group of this season’s guests who (consistent with all other guests this year) would be welcome back anytime.

As per the saying………..a photo (or two)………'tells a thousand words'!!!!

Just a shame that this group of 9 lovely ladies declined to sanction the publication of some hilarious video footage captured during their stay!!🤣

Casa Con Vista is delighted to have hosted once again the Clark family (featuring Paul, Caroline, Eilidh & Ruan) this week. Team Clark can now be ranked in the Casa Con Vista Stalwarts status with this last visit being their fourth in a little over two years.

If the quality of the villa and facilities could even comparatively speaking compete in the same league as the quality of this superb family – then job done!!!!

Attached are a few photos taken by the Stalwarts.

The 'seasons' first guests departed Casa Con Vista today and we are delighted that their feedback of both the villa, Moraira and surrounding area was all very positive.

The pleasure it provides for us with the knowledge and feedback that our guests have very much enjoyed their break is immeasurable.

If there existed a platform where hosts where able to review/grade their guests - then our guests this week would more than merit a 5 star review.

Next Casa Con Vista guests arrive tomorrow.

Attached photos taken by our guests this week.

Well........today unfortunately brings the end of the January visit to Casa Con Vista. Some decent work and improvements made in preparation for guest bookings throughout 2023.

What a difference even less than 1 year can make.

In January this year we made the decision to try and make use of an over grown and previously uncared for area of the plot at Casa Con Vista. Whilst this area of land on the plot cannot be accessed easily from the villa - it nonetheless can easily be seen from the villa terrace.

The perhaps ambitious objective was to transform the 'wasteland' area into a small citrus garden with one orange tree and one lemon tree.

Well.............even with the best intentions.......we certainly did not expect to be in the position to be waiting just one more month before being able to harvest our first crop of Casa Con Vista home grown oranges.

Further to our post below with feedback from guests staying during July this year – our last group of guests this year that booked out the whole of August (a 30-night stay 1st Aug – 31st Aug) have now obviously departed the villa – which effectively marks the end of the traditional high season (June – Aug). Prior to this group of guests, the longest number of nights booking we ever previously had was for 10 nights.

We were absolutely delighted with the feedback received from this family who had enjoyed their lengthy stay to the extent that they have already booked Casa Con Vista for an even longer 34 night stay next summer!

Throughout this families stay we had the pleasure of getting to know them a little via correspondence before, during and after their stay – which is something we try to do with all guests that book a stay at Casa Con Vista.

Whist this summer has only been our third summer since purchasing the villa in December 2019, and despite the obvious fact that the summers of 2020 & 2021 could not exactly be described as ‘normal’ given the travel restrictions and consequent adverse effects of any holiday plans for virtually every family – we are delighted that many of these much-valued previous guests have expressed a desire to stay again.

Consequently, we have made the decision, for a number of very good reasons, to remove the villa from being advertised on holiday villa letting platforms such as vbro.com and available to be let by anybody. Instead, the villa availability in 2023 and beyond will be restricted to any repeat guests, friends and family and also potentially anyone that makes a direct enquiry through the villa’s own website at http://www.casaconvista.net/

A couple of very welcome reviews posted onto the vbro.com portal our last two groups of guests used to book the villa subsequent to their recent stay at Casa Con Vista.

The current group of guests at the villa have recently arrived and are booked in for a 30 night stay (1st Aug - 31 Aug).

Fingers crossed their experience of Casa Con Vista is similar to these guests!!!

A few photos taken at Casa Con Vista this week in preparation for the first 'high season' guests arriving on 1st June.

The villa is now almost fully booked June, July and August. We still have availability 5th - 11th June if anyone is interested.

We are delighted to have received some photos from the first guests at Casa Con Vista this season. Eilidh (age 5) and her younger brother Ruan (age 2) along with their minders (parents!) Paul & Caroline.

It is fantastic to receive these photos from them along with a most welcome note saying how much they enjoyed their stay at the villa.

It really is most heart warming for us to be able to think/hope that Casa Con Vista has contributed a little towards such a lovely family having spent such an enjoyable and precious family holiday together.

Some interior photos of Casa Con Vista taken this week in early preparation for the hopefully busy summer holiday season. Also a few exterior photos taken. Please excuse the 'builders bum' image (purely unintentional !!) - but taken whilst superfast (1000MB) cable fibre internet was being installed into the villa to ensure robust and high speed internet available for our future guests.

A few photos taken at Casa Con Vista this week. A couple of the photos showing the new Pergola recently installed covering the BBQ Area. Fantastic weather for mid November!

A very welcome review posted onto the portal our last guests used to book the villa subsequent to their stay this month!

Well that's another 'bucket list' checkbox ticked. Hired a Harley Davidson from Dan at American Bike Rental & Bar in Moraira and took a tour around Costa Blanca region. Highly Recommended!!!!

Last year unfortunately Casa Con Vista had not been able to host as many guests that had originally been booked for obvious reasons, beyond anyone’s control.

Hopefully the encouraging start with regards to the rollout of 'the vaccine' along with the heightened restrictions we have all experienced recently (and currently continue to) - this will expedite progress with regards everyone’s desire to reach that light we can now see more clearly at the end of the tunnel as soon as possible.

Despite everything 2020 has delivered to us all - we have been able to further improve the villa a little throughout 2020 during our own visits and also via remotely liaising with suppliers based in Moraira.

Some of the most notable improvements throughout 2020 have been the installation of 10 additional solar roof panels to ensure a robust and reliable level of supply of electric into the villa (something which can’t always be taken for granted in Spain!!). A Sonos smart speaker with Alexa voice command and music streaming service built in - which additionally has been configured to control a few 'smart home' features installed in the villa.

The installation (which is 90% complete) of a ceiling mounted projector in the front terrace room which will facilitate guests being able to enjoy full sky TV on the 'big screen' - should they wish to view anything on Sky over and above the size of the three TV's already installed in the villa (the smallest of which is 43"!!).

For a bit of fun (or quirkiness!) - the villas private pool has been equipped with disco pool lights for any guests who happen to fancy a swim after daylight hours and feel this could be enhanced somehow via coloured underwater lights - which can be controlled via a remote!.

For the time being.....stay safe everyone......we will get there.

Updated video fly round of Casa Con Vista now also including some promotional video of Moraira.
Moraira is quite literally the jewel in the Costa Blanca's crown, and considered Spain's equivalent to St. Tropez and once discovered probably a place you will return time after time.
Moraira being the 'St Tropez of the Costa Blanca' was most recently referred to as being so in an episode of Channel 4's - 'A Place in the Sun'......which was broadcasted on Monday 14th September 2020.

Well.........that's the last group of 'High Season' Guests now departed the villa. For obvious reasons - it hasn't turned out to be the 1st season we exactly envisaged subsequent to purchasing the villa in December 2019 - who could have expected the events that 2020 has delivered.

That said - throughout July and August Casa Con Vista has hosted 5 separate families that have booked via the HomeAway/ Vrbo Platform - all of whom have submitted 5 star reviews of their stay at the villa which has resulted in an 'Exceptional 5/5' listing for Casa Con Vista on the platform.

The majority of these families have been of a French or Spanish origin as they have not been subject to the same 14 day quarantine restrictions that guests from the UK would have been.

Earlier in the year (prior to March) - we had 3 bookings from UK based families who, again for obvious reasons, reluctantly decided to cancel their booking. We are quite proud of the fact that we kept in regular contact with these families throughout right up until the point it was their decision not to travel.

NONE of these families lost any of their deposit for their booking despite the fact we were not obliged to return any deposits paid. We took the only possibly fair view that it was not their fault and they were all so grateful. One of these families even sent us a most unexpected hamper they were so grateful and another one of the families have already booked for next year!!


Admittedly, and despite those that did stay have fed back to HomeAway / Vrbo a 5 star 5/5 review - we feel very conscious that perhaps these reviews don't quite merit 5/5 as there has been occasional problems with the electric tripping in the villa this summer.

However, work is already underway to put this right for next season as soon as possible.

25/07/2020

Well......today marked the departure date of the first ever paying guests that booked Casa Con Vista. A French family of 4 adults and 3 children departed today after a 7 night stay at the villa and thankfully have taken the time to sign the visitors book.

Our understanding and grasp of French is practically non existent...............however, we hope our understanding of one of the words we can possibly translate is accurate!!!

A few photos taken at Casa Con Vista this week during a quick visit to the villa to make sure that everything is good and well prior to the first rental guests arriving this month!
