Santa Ana August 2009 Wordsfail me to describe this house and its surrounds. We have had a superb stay in this real Spanish environment, we will carry the memories forever. Thank you both, Geoff and Jackie, for your generosity and kindness, a truly wonderful experience , alas that has to end!
Viva Sella!		 Phillip

(Sellawalks holiday)		 Sept 2008 We have just had our last tour of this wonderful village and its hospitable residents, in the best weather of our week here.
This is a truly magical spot, which I hope I have captured on film, so we can enjoy our walks, your gorgeous food and the magnificent views again and again.
It´s been more than a holiday - more like a house party with friends. You both deserve your "Welcome Host" badges as issued by the National Trust (UK)!		 Mags and Phil

Casita de las Nubes April 2008 This apartment made for a fantastically relaxing break. The views alone were enough to recharge flagging batteries! Good walking, climbing and weather. Hope to return.

I want to live in it! Want my bathroom done with mosaic!		 Ann, Gill, Pete, Sue.

Santa Ana August 2009 I have always loved Spain as a holiday destination but only ever experienced the tourist aspects of it. This holoiday in this beautiful building, so obviously and lovingly restored to its glorious state has given me an insight into a real Spanish community and the way in which they live. Jackie and Geoff  thank you for the pleasure you have given to me... Monica

Casita de las Nubes March 2008 Thank you! Gratias! Merci! Danku! Danke! Voor de goodezorgen, Voor dewandelaars. For the walking. We did walk Nº28 (Wanderfuhrer, Gill Round) very nice, 4h 20m , not difficult. And walk Nº27 - we are good walkers but this walk was all the time climbing up and off ( my god!) and sometimes dangerous, but nice! Nº 20 we did alone the walk round the Puig Campana, not the top, not difficult, 5 hours, nice views over the mountains and the coast to Benidorm is hallucinant! Betsie and Jef

Casa Santa Ana 2007 
This is the nicest house we have ever stayed in in Spain, and we are very
fussy! We've been back 4 times now, both at Christmas and in summer and it 
is really wonderful."
 Jenny and John, Sheffield
Casaroc April 2008 Delightful house! and welcoming. We all admired and appreciated the artistic and colourful finishing touches and extras. We enjoyed instant access to home-made marmalade, local chocolate, natural creams etc etc + oranges + books + music, and what a treat eating breakfast outside on the terrace and gazing out at mountains, space and beauty. Thank you Steve for making us feel so welcome, it felt like we were visiting a friend.
Also... Lone and I thoroughly enjoyed the indulgence of massage / holistic therapy with Sharon Bates. Wonderful holiday all round.		 Deborah

Casaroc April 2008 We took Andy and Lesley´s advice and agree with what they say - except we HATED the coast!
The more we wandered around the tracks from Sella, the more we fell in love with the place. Spring flowers and sunshine every day.
Additional hints to a happy stay:
  • Walk over the hills to Relleu (even though Gill Round does not mention it in her book*)
  • Get Steve to guide you on a walk - he knows so much.
  • Sit in the square on a Sunday afternoon and watch the men playing PILOTA
  • Ask Isa and Tony to cook you a paella

So thank you very much Steve and Liz - we´ll be back

Casaroc April 2008    
La Casita de las Nubes March 2008 Hemos pasado unos días maravillosos en la Casita de las Nubes. La casa es muy acogedora y tiene todo tipo de detalles. Todo muy cuidado y perfecto. ¡Qué decir de las vistas! MARAVILLOSAS (El Puig Campana, La sierra de Aitana). Además, he podido subir en bici hasta las Antenas de Aitana. Sus dueños muy agradables y simpáticos. Desde aquí un saludo para tí Steve y otro para tu mujer. Gracias por todo Oscar, Mª Cruz y la pequeña Lucía

Casaroc April 2008 We have had a great time. Advice is;
  • Go outside onto that terrace first morning after you arrive, take a deep breath and admire the view.
  • Get yourself up the Puig Campana - it´s much easier than it looks and even more rewarding.
  • La Vila Joiosa much nicer than it appears at first glance to the UK eye. What a beach!
  • Tony´s (Isa and Toni´s bar, Sella) ...what a steak!
  • The weather - sunshine early April!!

....pity we´ve got to go back to Scotland tomorrow. I hear it´s snowing.
