At the beginning of last week we welcomed a guest from Switzerland – Beatriz had driven all the way from Geneva to Spain, initially spending time with her parents in Galicia to the north before coming down to visit us at Villa Florencia. Her main reason for visiting this area was because a friend of hers from Switzerland – also born to Spanish parents – was getting married in her parent’s home town near Gandía [...]
More Welcome Guests Return! Early in the year we were pleased to receive a booking from two guests who also stayed with us in 2010 – Frans and Marita, who come from Belgium.

They decided to visit Spain and the Costa Blanca again this year, and wanted to repeat their [...]
Americans on Tour!

We had assumed this was a group of friends from the UK who were flying in for the weekend, so we were surprised and pleased when a mini-bus pulled into the car park [...]

However, he had been visiting Debbie in England, and they decided to take some time to get to know some of mainland Europe. They collected their hire car in France and travelled down through the countryside before crossing [...]
Valencia Driving Holidays
Vincent and his girlfriend Kim from Belgium arrived at Villa Florencia at the beginning of the week – in search of a little respite from the cold weather further north. They are keen walkers and explorers, and wasted no time in getting to know the area a little, even on the afternoon of their arrival day and despite a very early start. They had decided that a self-drive holiday would be the best way to [...]
Early January marked the arrival of Peter and Sally, along with their good friend Margaret, who had made a booking several months before to stay with us in our self-catering apartment. They flew in to Valencia and hired a car at the airport, arriving by about midday – which meant they had had a very early start in the UK. When commenting that they obviously had no trouble finding us, since they made the trip [...]
