We had a wonderful time at the petite paradise. The house is close to the Parc natural de s'Albufera (which easily can be reached by foot) and is situated in a kind of allotment area. Nevertheless, the petite paradise is a very secluded and peaceful place where you can listen to the singing of the birds and the croaking of frogs hidden in the reed surrounding the house. And it's so away from it all that you have an undisturbed view at the stars at night (which is worth staying up late).
In fact the best part of the petit paradise is the huge garden. There are plenty of chairs inviting you to linger over a book or to doze in the sun, there's a big swimming pool (which we didn't use since it was too cold) and a little garden house for children with plenty of toys in it (our son loved it!).
The house itself is sufficient in size (the two bedrooms and the bathroom are quite small but certainly do the job) and is tasteful decorated. The kitchen is big and well-equipped as is the bathroom (where there were towels, toilet paper, a hairdryer and soap provided). The living room has a nice feel to it and has a fireplace to heat the house (which we did every night since it gets quite chilly in spring).
And last but not least, the hosts, Raquel and Anselmo, were very attentive and kind. They welcomed us late in the evening (our flight came in at around 8 p.m.) and provided us with everything we needed to start the next day (some jam, some butter, some milk, some food to cook). They were always immediately there whenever needed, gave us tips where to go and what to do and took care of the house once in a while. We couldn't have wished for more!
So, thank you, Raquel and Anselmo, for letting us stay at your petit paradise. We had a wonderful time and will often think of your house in the reed. :)
