Don't assume the description of a villa is accurate!
We were extremely disappointed in our 4 week stay at Villa Cristonia. Whilst in our search there were a number of equally attractive villas in Mojacar, we chose Villa Cristonia specifically because of several statements under “About this property”.
“There is a small supermarket within walking distance”
“It is 5 minutes walk to Mojacar playa beach, shops, bars and restaurants”.
These statements are inaccurate, misleading and misrepresent the true situation.
Thomas Supermarket is a 15 minute walk from the Villa (google data) and descending from an elevation of 224 feet to sea level (google earth data). The crumbling and potholed roads with a constant flow of construction and other traffic would make the walk challenging and dangerous at the very least. Assuming the visit to the supermarket was to purchase provisions the return walk carrying those provisions back up to the villa …..!!
It is NOT a 5 minute walk to Mojacar playa beach. I tried the walk using the 62 irregular concrete steps down to C. Belgica and then onwards to P. del Mediterraneo. It took12 minutes and another 5 minutes to cross the road and gain access to the beach. It took a lot longer to climb back to the villa in a temperature of 30 degrees!
Needless to say, neither my wife nor I walked to the supermarket or beach even though we had expected to do so on a regular basis having read your statements about the property. Extremely disappointing.
The host has now confirmed these details will be updated.
