Là, nous fumes reçus cordialement, chaleureusement, joyeusement et gaiement dans une superbe maison, dans un cadre magnifique où seuls les aigles pouvaient nous surveiller. La cuisine de Martyn et la jovialité d’Alastair ont rendu vraiment ce séjour inoubliable. Perdus au milieu de l’espace et du temps, que du bonheur! Tout ici est différent. L’accueil, les conversations, les livres, et même les DVD. Une autre vie à partager avec des hôtes sympathiques et très bienveillants! A recommander pour vos séjours à venir.

So much was built up for this holiday. Was our excitment and anticipation over hyped? Not in the LEAST!!! Little did we expect such cuisine, extraordinary views, great wine, hospitality and ultimate relaxation. You both opened your home and your hearts to us for an experience we have never found before. Is this the best holiday of the decade? "Si, possible"!! Tusen tack For ALLT ni har jork for oss!

Thank you Alastair & Martyn for a superb and restful holiday. You are such helpful and caring hosts.  Wonderful meals (what else would you expect from Martyn) and spacious and elegant facilities.  The setting is magnificent with your panoramic views of hills and distant mountains.  What else could one want?

Following a recommendation from a neighbour’s friend, we booked an overnight stay - how we wish it was a week!  All four of us have had a fantastic time; great house, great cuisine, great views and great hosts.  Thank you so much.

Having found myself at the last minute travelling on my own, Martyn and Alastair quickly recognised this, and stepped in and included me in their own socialising, including dinner with local neighbours.  What great hosts!  Thank you both for your thoughtfulness and friendship.

Never expected our stay at Almond Tree Villa to be so amazing!  The designer house on top of a "mountain" is wonderful, but come in Spring.  The weather was a bit chilly in December but the warm hospitality of Martyn and Alastair made up for it!  We had a wonderful time!

This beautiful orange villa is run by Alastair and Martyn and sits in the most amazing countryside which, in early February was enhanced by groves of almond blossom.  We had a long walk accompanied only by the sound of singing larks and foraging partridge and the smell of wild rosemary and time. In the evening we shared a superb dinner, cooked by Martyn in their lovely salon which was topped off with a sticky toffee pudding to die for! It was a beautiful place to spend our last evening in Spain.  Until next time!

I came here to find out more about the life of British people in Spain. Coming up to the hills of southern Murcia and staying with two open-minded and open-hearted hosts was just a perfect way of doing so.  When you are sitting here on top of the hill you forget about "the crisis" - and just focus on the things that really matter: the beloved ones, a place to call home in a pefect location and 13 litres of home grown olive oil to keep you up and healthy.  Thank you so much.

Away from the traffic and tourists-on-sea, there’s a lovely oasis with fresh Yorkshire tea.  With Martyn’s great cooking and Alastair’s chat, you won’t want to leave - but you’ll be sure to come back!

The unique experience of staying at "The Legendary Almond Tree Villa" is one to be savoured by even the most world weary traveller!!!
We’ll be back!! Thanks to you both for everything. Always superb.

My third visit to the wonderfully relaxing Almond Tree Villa.  This visit, albeit short was a birthday treat to myself, before returning to Scotland.

Today Alastair and Martyn introduced me to Mojacar, less than an hour away and I was surprised to find a delightful low key tourist resort, the old pueblo on the hill above was particularly fascinating.  It may be some time before my fourth visit, bit I am sure I will be back.

What a lovely surprise at the end of the track!  Beautiful surroundings, luxury accomodation and wonderful hospitality.
We wish we had booked for a week instead of just one night!  Would love to come back - thanks for a great start to our holiday Alastair + Martyn.

Sizzling sunny Spanish summer!  Murcia, Carolinas, Mojacar, Vera Playa - what a gas!!  Thanks for everything, it has been absolutely wonderful, as always.
Adios, hasta luego.

Semana Santa, no encontrabamos donde pasar la noche y de repente aprecio una pagina web que nos inspiraba muy buen rollo.....almond tree! El lugar precioso, apartado de la ciudad y realmente lindo.....
Despertarse con buena musica, desayuno hecho en casa servido y riquismo, y el dueno super simpatico y agradable .... sin duda volveremos!

Nos ha encantado este lugar!!!!!

Had a relaxing two days. Gorgeous place, great food and hospitality. Felt very welcome and at home. Hope to come back one day.

We really enjoyed this ’try-out honeymoon’. We’ll be back as soon as possible, and for sure on our ’golden wedding anniversary’!

Thank you for a wonderfully relaxing couple of days! Everything has been lovely - the food (especially the desserts!), the pool, the walks and afternoon Boules competitions.  But what has made this a really special part of our holiday has been your hospitality. We are definetly leaving as Friends.

Following a 2 week tour of Andalucian cities we stopped for 2 nights with Alastair & Martyn.  A very warm welcome from our hosts started a short stay filled with entertainment, excellent vegetarian meals (by Martyn), tranquil surroundings and genuine consideration for all our needs.  It was the ultimate ’chill-out’ place before continuing our long journey through France and Italy.  Great walks on the surrounding hills (with help at hand if you lose your bearings).

On a future, bleak grey winter day in London, these memories will warm us up!  Our deepest warmest thanks.

Thank you so much Alastair & Martyn for a wonderful stay. Great food, good bed and wonderful company. We will remember this fondly when we are back in Australia. 10/10
