We just spent 2 weeks and had a lovely time in El Portet. Having been to other parts of the Spanish coast this is a lovely place to go. El Portet has a beautiful cove with soft sand and tropical sea for easy swimming, and Moraira down the road was full of nice restaurants and boutiquey shops. We totally relaxed in the lovely house and loved how private it was. It's amazingly designed so you can see the sea from every room, and the main bedroom view was particularly lovely. We ate well everywhere in Moraira but the best meal we had was at La Maja in Altea (enroute to Alicante) - very special. Also recommend walking up to the castle above El Portet - gorgeous walk on the cliff path and the views are incredible

stayed at the villa for 2 weeks in June. the villa has the most amazing views, not over looked in any way loved the design, very clever, and very big, your dread your wife asking you to fetch some thing from the bedroom! stayed in 6 villa's in El portet and this was by far the best.I read with interest the negative comment left .... did we really stay at the same villa? loved it, and cant wait to return next year .

Our family had a wonderful holiday in Villa Mar Y Montana in El Portet. It was our second visit and this time we stayed during the Moors and Christians Festival which is a week-long and colorful carneval. Whilst it was lively and noisy in Moraira we enjoyed the utter peace of the villa in El Portet. On our pool terrace we had front line seats for watching the firework displays over the bay in Moraira. Magical. My husband and I love coming back to the villa. We like the authentic Spanish feel of it. With the reclaimed tiles and antique entrance door it resembles a Finca (Spanish country house), but it is a modern construction. Unlike so many villas which are bought and set up as letting villas, Mar Y Montana is a genuine private house with many individual touches. Thank you for sharing your very special villa with us. We will be back.

My partner and I have recently returned from a weeks stay at the Mar Y Montana and we were not disappointed. We were welcomed to this lovely, quaint villa by the owner Jutta who was very friendly and accommodating during our stay. The villa itself is nicely tucked away at the top of a hill which ensured our stay was lovely and peaceful, and well equipped with everything we could possibly need. There is a beautiful beach with cafes and restaurants just a stroll away. The private pool area was spacious and complemented with loungers, an outside dining area and BBQ where many a relaxed nights were enjoyed on the terrace watching the sunset. If a relaxing holiday is what your looking for then we cannot recommend this Villa enough.

This is a repeat visit returning to Villa Villa Mar Y Montana in El Portet. All has been said before: we look forward for its peace and tranquility, to lie on the spacious terrace by the pool, only to see the mountains, the sea and the Ifach Calpe Rock. Solitude, quiet and wonderful scenery. As before, your luxurious villa had everything we could ask for. Stuart Smith and family

Mar Y Montana is an older looking villa on different levels with views across numerous other villa rooftops to the hills and seawards towards Calpe. The approach from El Portet is an uphill 20 minutes walk. It wedged into a small plot on the hillside with other villas to the left, right and one villa directly abutting its small patio a few feet below. The advertised pictures are obviously taken not to disclose the closeness of this neighbouring villa from where cigarette smoke wafted up intermittently and into the lounge/dining room-yuk! There is only one very tight awkward parking place suitable for a small car. Internal furnishings were mainly old or antique in style. The general fabric was tired - two armchairs were covered up with white throws! The two pathetic bath towels were thin, well worn and frayed. The outside wooden chairs were rickety and there were no cushions that fitted the sun loungers. Disappointingly the Villa was in full shade when we arrived mid evening and no sun till 10.00 am next day. No basic welcome pack e.g. milk, bread or cheese, nor did the owner/manager volunteer this as a possible extra when we booked, knowing our eta of 8.30pm. There was a cheap bottle of fizz and some water in the fridge. The front small courtyard was littered with unswept leaves. The en suite shower had had low water pressure and took 5 minutes to run warm.No soap in either bathroom ( 2 not 3 as advertised) No air conditioning downstairs. Location misleadingly pinned to Google map. The villa necessitates climbing many different flights of steps and the external approach is via uneven wooden sleepers. Patio and internal railings are wonky and a health and safety hazard. There were many other defects. The owner/manager's dismissive, unhelpful attitude was truly scary and distressing - we left after two day! She said "I am not your servant go to a hotel if you need soap in bathrooms" She abrogated her responsibilities saying that she only normally allowed her friends to use the villa, yet it is widely advertised to the public on at least 4 separate web sites. Definitely not recommended, avoid.

My husband and I and our 3 grown up daughters have just returned from a weeks holiday staying in Mar Y Montana, The villa is stunning, wonderfully furnished and feels more like a home than a holiday let. It is well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The villa location is peaceful with the most breathtaking views which can be enjoyed from the secluded pool area and many of the rooms. El Portet and Moraira are a short drive away, both have beaches and Moraira has an abundance of restaurants catering for all tastes. Jutta, the Villa owner greeted us on our arrival and was very welcoming and most helpful. We absolutely loved this villa and would not hesitate in returning to it for another holiday. I think it would be hard to beat.

Very private and relaxing quiet location with easy access to the more lively Moraiira town with its many enjoyable restaurants . Also El Portet with its small sandy beach which we enjoyed as a family. 2 simple beach restaurants - plus the famous Dauphin restaurant which we treated ourselves to a very special night out which was very memorable This holiday and the Villa lived up to all the expectations and we hope to be returning to this Villa in the near future
