Pros: We stayed as a group of 25 in Villa La Gran Duquesa for a week in mid June. The exterior of the property was absolutely perfect; the pool was ideal in size and there was plenty to do, with the table football and volleyball court. We were all comfortable in enough beds and there was a large array of kitchenware to cater for a big group.
Maria was a great host and replied very quickly when we had issues with the outdoor showers. We signed up for paella one night, and Maria cooked a delicious meal with more than enough Sangria for everyone! The BBQ area is ideal and we used it most nights to cook.
In terms of location, it's about a 25 minute walk to the beach, which was perfectly manageable. The beachfront is equipped with bars and restaurants without being as touristy and busy as the centre of Alicante. The villa is well connected to public transport and it was relatively easy to reach the airport.
There are only a couple of things we would change. Firstly, whilst 3 of us were taken round during check in, the rest of our party had to sit outside the front gate. I understand that perhaps this is because of bad experiences with guests in the past, but it would have been better if our party were allowed to sit in the grounds whilst the check in happened as we arrived close to midnight! Secondly, for a group of non smokers, the villa smelt quite strongly of smoke.
Overall the villa was ideal for our large group, who came to Alicante for a relax in the sun. The exterior of the villa is its best feature and we mostly spent our time outside by the pool, on the volleyball court or by the BBQ! Maria was extremely helpful and we would consider booking the villa again.
