They come by car, by plane, and now by Spanish Train!!
This weekend’s house booking was a group of 9 lads from Madrid, celebrating the impending wedding of one of them, and they came to Gandia from Madrid by train – via Valencia, of course.  They arrived at about 10.00 on the Friday evening in a couple of taxis from the station, and wasted no time in settling in to the house and lighting the barbeque for their first meal of the weekend together.  The rest of the night – through to the small hours of the morning – was spent either in the pool, on the terraces outside, or taking part in a poker championship that was being held in the bar and upper terrace area.
Saturday got off to a gradual start, but soon everyone appeared and had a leisurely morning round the pool with some barbequed sausages before setting off at around 3.00pm to Playa de Gandia for a paella lunch that they had arranged in advance.  This was apparently a great success, and the lads returned about 6.00pm for some more time in the gardens and pool before carrying on with the poker championship.  Later on – about 11.00pm – the customary taxis arrived to take them to Playa de Gandia once again, for the main celebratory meal of the weekend at one of the specialist restaurants there.  This was followed by more drinks in the bar and club area of the resort, and they tell us they returned to the villa round about 6.00am!  Being the considerate guests they are, we heard nothing at all!
Sunday dawned bright and sunny to complete the perfect weekend for them, and the day was spent in the gardens again, having lunch together at the barbeque, and swimming in the pool.  All good things have to come to an end, however, and the taxis came to collect them around 5.00pm to take them to the station for their trip back to Madrid.  Once again, all the lads were very appreciative of the time they had spent at our villa, and said they had had a great weekend.  Repeat bookings will surely follow if their enthusiasm for the place is anything to go by!

Reserva este fin de semana la casa había un grupo de 9 chicos de Madrid, la celebración de la inminente boda de uno de ellos, y llegaron a Gandía desde Madrid en tren – a través de Valencia, por supuesto. Ellos llegaron como a las 10,00 en la noche del viernes en un par de taxis de la estación, y no perdió tiempo en instalarse en la casa y encender la barbacoa para su primera comida del fin de semana juntos. El resto de la noche – hasta las primeras horas de la mañana – se gastó tanto en la piscina, en las terrazas exteriores, o participar en un campeonato de póquer que se celebraba en el bar y terraza superior.

Sábado tuvo un inicio gradual, pero apareció pronto todo el mundo con una cadena por la mañana tranquilamente de la piscina con unas salchichas asadas antes de salir en alrededor de 15:00 a Playa de Gandia para un almuerzo de paella que había preparado de antemano. Esto fue al parecer un gran éxito, y los muchachos regresaron acerca 18:00 por algún tiempo más en los jardines y la piscina antes de continuar con el campeonato de póquer. Más tarde – sobre 23:00 – los taxis tradicionales llegaron para llevarlos a la Playa de Gandia, una vez más, para la comida principal de celebración del fin de semana en uno de los restaurantes especializados allí. Esto fue seguido por más tragos en el bar y zona de club de la localidad, y ellos nos dicen que regresó a la ronda alrededor de 06 a.m. villa! Ser considerado con los invitados que son, no oímos nada en absoluto!

Domingo amaneció luminoso y soleado para completar el fin de semana perfecto para ellos, y el día transcurrió en los jardines de nuevo, almorzando juntos en la parrilla, y la natación en la piscina. Todas las cosas buenas tienen que llegar a su fin, sin embargo, y los taxis vino a recoger alrededor de 17:00 para llevarlos a la estación de su viaje de regreso a Madrid. Una vez más, todos los muchachos estaban muy agradecidos por el tiempo que habían pasado en nuestra villa, y dijeron que habían tenido un gran fin de semana. Repita reservas seguramente seguirán si su entusiasmo por el lugar es algo para pasar!
