I use trip advisor more and more as I find I agree with most of the reviewers so I booked Casa Les Olives because it was ranked number 1. We do not want big, dreary, corporate hotels who get their 4 or 5 star ranking simply because they have a gym, spa and a 200 cover restaurant (usually serving over-priced... more

This was the HIGHLIGHT of our self-drive trip through Spain last year. Nick is just divine, the casa is heaven on earth, the food is to DIE for (not to mention the wine)... just writing this review makes me wish I was back there!! Stay away from the tourist-hideousness of Alicante and Benidorm, head to this small-town sanctuary and experience... more

What a wonderful place! We stayed at Casa les Olives at the end of February for a week. It's a great time of year to go with wonderful warm weather (most of the time) with oranges and lemons falling from their trees.

Our room was at the front so we were able to see and hear true spanish life in the street below. Walking in the mountains was excellent, you can walk... more

My husband and I are just in from a three week trip through Spain, and Casa les Olives was one of our highlights! It was a pleasure winding into the little village of Benigembla (only about 15 or 20 minutes from the gorgeous coast) and finding the charming "Casa Rural". When we arrived, Nick was working in the kitchen preparing... more

You cannot pass through the Jalon Valley without taking the opportunity to stay at Casa Les Olives! You will be treated like royalty by resident owner and chef Nick who made us feel so at home. We had a wonderful five days at his beautiful residence in the gorgeous village of Benecemblas. The food was divine and when Nick finds... more
