About this property

Superb Villa with Stunning Mountain and Valley Views

Casa Mariposa is a beautiful, south facing villa set on a hillside amongst pine trees above the charming village of Alcalali. Located on the edge of a peaceful residential area, it has both sunny and shaded, private outside terraces with breathtaking views across the green Jalon Valley to the mountains beyond. A covered terrace for al fresco dining looks across the pool to the panoramic views.

The Jalon Valley is known for its many excellent restaurants, some within walking distance.

Tastefully furnished, there is a comfortable open plan living/dining room and a well equipped kitchen, plus internet access. In the main house are two very spacious bedrooms, both with A/C; the master with en-suite shower room, a twin with private balcony and a family bathroom. The third double bedroom, with A/C and en-suite shower room is in a separate annex directly beneath the main villa, accessed from a garden terrace. The villa can be rented as a 2 or 3 bedroom villa and is ideal for groups wanting a little more privacy.

Please note:
- The published prices are for rental of the 2-bedroom villa (i.e. the main house for 4 people). If the third bedroom is required i.e. for 6 people), there is a small surcharge of GBP 15 per day.
- The third bedroom is not available from the beginning of November to the beginning of April.
- During July and August bookings are all from Saturday to Saturday. Midweek and variable length bookings are available the rest of the year.

Great experience
Our stay at the villa was top notch. Nothing to complain about. Everything was provided as described. Good guidance by owner and employees. Good privacy and the neighborhood is just breathtakingly beautiful. Only a pity for the very weak wifi reception (for the children in the evening), power cut, but that problem certainly did not spoil our holiday. We certainly hope to come back to the same villa one day. Many thanks for everything Rachel & Amanda and sincere greetings from Belgium!👊

Stunning villa
The Villa is all, that you see in the photos and more. It was perfectly maintained and the pool was kept crystal clear by the pool maintenance guy. There is an outside grill, but the absence of a barbecue was disappointing. The kitchen has all the equipment you would need to cook a meal. The views are spectacular, but as it is nestled in the mountains you need to bring and use mosquito repellent and other such tools. We would highly recommend this villa.

Fantastic villa in Alcalali
We had an amazing stay in Casa Mariposa over Christmas and New Year. The location was very handy for cycling/climbing/hiking and the villa was very spacious inside (the photos don't do it justice!). It was exactly what we'd been hoping for. The kitchen was very well equipped and there were lots of other handy things like books/leaflets for local places/games etc which was a nice touch. Having breakfast and dinner on the terrace was a definite highlight - the views are just amazing. Rachel was very responsive and provided lots of handy information before we arrived. All in all we had a really fantastic holiday and hope to come back again.

Fantastic Villa
We love this villa. It’s in a great location and very quiet. Rachel is very amenable to changes and replies very quickly to requests and queries. It’s clean & tidy with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The pool is perfect!! All was so good we added 2 extra weeks to our holiday which Rachel accommodated without any fuss. Would definitely stay again and again and again!!!!

About the host

Hosted by David Landau

Hello, my name is Rachel and I own Casa Mariposa. Although British having lived overseas for many years, I am now back in the UK.

Over the years, I've stayed in many different holiday homes in many different countries and for my property, I wanted to provide something that really worked - both for us and our visitors.

I believed I've created a home from home and have had many compliments on it. If you choose to stay there, I hope you will very much enjoy your stay - I always enjoy visiting the villa myself.

Why they chose this property

I bought Casa Mariposa early in 2005. Despite visiting other areas of Spain I always found myself drawn back to the valley and after a whole year of searching, I finally found what I was looking for. I love the location - quiet and private yet not isolated and, of course, the wonderful views across the valley. I can't imagine how many hours I've spent on the naya just watching the light change as the sun moves round!

I love the late afternoon and evening when the low light creates the most magical glow on the many white painted farmhouses and the villages below us. Furnishing the house from a range of local shops, was a real pleasure. I wanted to provide comfort and simplicity but with a homely feel too. and believe that has been achieved.

What makes this property unique

The valley has everything I wanted to make a great family holiday. There's plenty in the region to keep us all entertained. Then afterwards, nothing beats returning to the peace and tranquility of the the villa and dinner on the naya or maybe a local restaurant.
Then, of course, there are the hours we've spent lazing in the pool on a hot summer afternoon. Having children of our own, we have installed gates around the pool terrace to give parents of young children peace of mind so youngsters can play away from the pool. I've tried to equip it with everything you should need and am often complimented on this. In Casa Mariposa, I really feel I've found somewhere special - it's always hard to leave and we have many returning guests who have fallen in love with it too.
