Named as one of the Best Family Holidays in Europe by Conde Nast Traveller and Best Family Hotels in Spain by The Times, we know a thing or two about what makes a perfect trip for all ages.
Stop Doing, Just Be…
Perched high in the hazy Sierra Bernia mountains, wrapped in ancient olive groves and overlooking the postcard-pretty winemaking town of Xaló, lies our boutique country house hotel, Caserio del Mirador. Just an hour’s drive from Alicante airport and 90 minutes from Valencia, we do family holidays in Spain on a slow burn. Forget fussy hotel timings, staying with us means embracing time together, switching-off and zonking out, let us take care of everything else.
Your Home From Home
Staying at Caserio del Mirador feels like staying with old friends. As parents ourselves, we know how hard it is packing for a family holiday which is why we offer all the essentials and more at no extra cost. From baby monitors and buggies to blenders and night-lights, check our full list of kit here.
You’ll find fresh milk, children’s yoghurts, bananas and Weetabix when you arrive alongside a few other basics. We’ll also leave age-appropriate books, puzzles and toys in each room too, to give mum and dad a break plus you’ll find plenty of games scattered around the property when playtime beckons.
Free-Range Family Holidays
From splish-splashing in our heated pool, to helping themselves to our all-you-can-grab toy shed stacked high with ride-ons, balls, inflatables and more, little ones can roam freely amongst Caserio del Mirador’s 15-acre wilderness. Forget screen time; they’ll be too busy cuddling the bunnies, fetching eggs from the chickens, feeding our pigs Peppa and Daisy and riding Furia and Turrón, the Shetland ponies, or the real-life tractor that’s nestled in our playground.
There’s no telling what reaction little ones have whenthey come face to face with the piglets or baby bunnies. After a nervous start, their confidence grows with bursts of laughter or shrieks of excitement. Whether you’re collecting fresh eggs for breakfast or feeding them kitchen scraps, these loveable personalities are the source of many happy memories.
For the Grown Ups
Family holidays at Caserio del Mirador include parent-pleasing downtime that keeps families coming back year after year.
Every week, we have visiting masseurs offering alfresco spa treatments under the warm Mediterranean breeze. Enjoy private wine tasting from our local vineyards, pilates and yoga classes and plenty of snoozable hidey-holes to get nose-deep into a book as the hills roll away from your toes. There’s an honesty bar by the pool so pop open a beer and relax, our home is all yours.
