Boutique escape 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 Nina is probably best suited to a couple with a baby in the pre-walking stages. It has a comfortable double bedroom with space for a cot. The spacious living area opens out onto the pool terrace (something parents of toddlers would need to guard). Like all the apartments, it has a kitchenette and sitting area with basic satellite TV and free broadband.
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.

We had an amazing time. We actually felt that we had a holiday. Sarah cooked for our children at their usual dinner time, and then when the kids were asleep she cooked for us. I would recommend this highly to anyone who doesnt want to put their children in a kids club, but still want a child orientated holiday. We will be back as long as they can fit us in!

"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.

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 had the most relaxing holiday we have ever had with a child. We had a stress free, arguement free ! week in the sun. Food was delicious, company was great, and our daughter ( almost 3) absolutely loved it. Would highly recommend it!

We had the most wonderful time staying with Sarah and Johnny, they were great hosts and live in a beautiful place. Our 15 month old daughter loved her 2 weeks of playing by the pool, with the kittens, feeding the rabbits, bouncing on the trampoline and having dinner with her new toddler friends at tea time
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.
