Boutique Hotel Spanish Family Robinson-Style’ is perhaps the best description of the experience at the beautiful Caserío del Mirador. The elegant pool and stylish Moroccan influenced interiors give it all the hallmarks of an exclusive retreat, but the warm hospitality of owners, Sarah and Johnny Robinson, and the presence of their three gorgeous children (all under 10), create a laid back atmosphere that easily has parents relaxing – no need for toddler-induced tenterhooks here!
Nestled in a fragrant valley and in sight of the sea, its location might be its greatest asset but the fact that guests at Caserío del Mirador can be as sociable or self-contained as they wish, comes a close second. The two-bedroom apartments and large one bedroom suites have kitchenettes enabling guests to self-cater or sample Sarah’s delicious rustic Spanish cuisine. Meals can be delivered to terraces or enjoyed as sociable kids and adults suppers, which take place nightly overlooking the beautifully lit pool and valley below. B&B rooms are available in the main building, which is also home to the Robinsons and the location for impromptu kiddie arts and crafts sessions.
Apartment Isabella which has a very large double bedroom with plenty of room for cots or toddler bed, and lounge with two sofa beds. It has a spacious sitting room and a large terrace with outdoor dining furniture and its own sofa - great for taking in the stunning valley views and enjoying evenings once the little ones are asleep in the lounge. The pool terrace is a safe distance via some steps. The steps are not gated and therefore care should be taken with toddlers/crawlers. Larger family groups could combine it with Apartment Fernando, which has a connecting door (click button at the bottom of Fast Facts box to view)
Show Location Map The lovely city of Valencia is within an hour’s drive of the Caserío but most guests find that there is plenty to do in the immediate area. Just down the valley, the town of Jalon comes alive on its market days and is famous for its bodegas, or wine cellars. It also boasts a great assortment of restaurants, cafes and specialist shops selling everything from cured meats to Moroccan curiosities, and even wine made from vines next to the Caserío. Along the coast, Javea has a pretty old town, chichi port and lovely sandy beach, backed by a traffic-free promenade with restaurants and a playground.

I stayed at Caserio del Mirador - Apts Isabella and Fernando: We had the most fantastic time. Our son is 17 months old and we were not sure if our holiday would be that relaxing, we were wrong, it was fabulous and had decided the day we arrived that we would be returing next year. You will not regret going to Caserio del Mirador.

"Sit gazing down the scenic Jalon valley with its olive trees from the view point at the end of the garden and you'll realise what a magical place this is. As goats' bells clang in the distance, it's the perfect spot for a romantic sundowner while the little ones play at your feet in a sandpit." Jane Knight, The Times, Sept. 08.

Very welcoming atmosphere and ideally set up for young children. I wouldn't have believed I could relax so much on holiday with a 2-year-old! We hope to return soon.

Sarah and Johnny have carved an idyllic family retreat into the upper slopes of Valencias stunning countryside, and greet their guests with utter welcome.... Our 3 year old was in heaven, dividing his time judiciously between the trampoline, sandpit, pool, donkey sanctuary, and a multitude of slides and swings....views that you could spend a lifetime not getting tired of....For a family holiday where the family can get on with the serious business of having fun together, Caserio del Mirador is a must-visit!

We spent a wonderful week at Casa Robinson. The best blend of adult loveliness and kid friendliness we've experienced in a long time. Nothing is left to chance and there is no compromise for either camp. Lots for the tiddlers to do and much chilling time for the grown ups. Top class family holiday. Look no further!

Sarah and Johnny have a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere at Caserio del
Mirador which rubs off on you as soon as you arrive, they understand the
stresses and strains of being a parent! My son (2yrs) loved it with the
goats, horses, sandpit, swings, slide and swimming pool. Our apartment was
lovely, with stunning views looking out on the valley. Sarah's food was
great and it was especially nice not having to cook every evening. We came
back having felt like we had had a break which is not easy when you have
an active toddler!
Perfect holiday!...
Perfect holiday!
Owner Profile
Sarah and Johnny Robinson and their three children - Poppy, Florence and Charlie. Caserío del Mirador was inspired and influenced by Sarah and Johnny's experience of their travels with and without children. The house is an environment where people can relax and be together, a home that is shared to give a warm and friendly atmosphere. |
The people, the food, the landscape, the Mediterranean
and of course the beautiful weather. We live in a wonderfully dramatic setting surrounded by ancient almond and olive groves with views down to the coast. The terraces, gardens and grounds give a wonderful sense of space, and we love the peace and tranquility - hearing birds sing or a distant dog bark. The rhythm of Spanish life suits us well, nothing is rushed, people have time for each other, meals times are savoured and enjoyed. Spending time together as a family is central to our lives, and the good weather gives us many options whether we want to enjoy being at the house or go out for the day.

Kids love going away, the adventure, the new experiences, making new friends and getting Mum and Dad to themselves. Kids love jumping in the pool, meeting the animals and playing with newly discovered toys. They love the stable block, home to Archy and Benjy the stable cats. There are usually rabbits bouncing around somewhere, and if you are
lucky there might be a litter of baby rabbits. Kids love the climbing frames, sand pit, slides, swings, trampoline and space to run around safely. There are plenty of toys and books for inside activities and usually a group of kids will find something that they want to do together. A favourite day out is a visit to the beach, playing in the sand and paddling in the sea. Best of all is Kid's Tea, yummy food while Mum and Dad relax with a cool drink and chat to the other parents.
