For one year the house operated as a B&B. Now you can rent the entire villa for you, your family and friends. It sleeps 6 persons at the maximum. It’s situated in a quiet residential area in easy walking distance to local restaurants, cafés, grocery stores, cinemas, ice cream parlours, bowling and parks.
It has three rooms, each of it with separate toilet, sink and shower. Two of the guest rooms have their bathroom ensuite. The cosy rooms themselves have enough storage and are equipped with a queen size double bed. A spacious living room with view to pool and garden offers a relaxing atmosphere.

San Juan Playa (#laplayasanjuan)
Alicante’s old town and the clean sandy beaches (the beautiful beach of San Juan for example) can be reached easily in a few minutes by public transport. Busses and tramways run all day round.
The second biggest town on the Costa Blanca invites tourists to linger day and night. The picturesque old city center boosts with countless bars, restaurants, pubs and clubs. Stroll along the Esplanade under magnificent palm trees and feel the vibrant Spanish way of life all day and night. Explore the harbour and the casino and tempt your luck to be a millionaire. Maybe it’s your lucky holiday!
Alicante has many festivals and traditions. Probably the 10-day festival of Hogueras in June is the most important one and gathers thousands of people in town for the Mascleta in Plaza Luceros in the afternoon and the Cremà de las Hogueras at midnight.

Las Cuevas del Canelobre (Busot) – EN — Viajar por viajar by iulennyc

A marvel of nature Canelobre Caves are one of the main attractions not only Busot, but throughout the province of Alicante. Emplaced at 700 meters altitude on the northern slope of the mountain Cabeçó D’Or, one of the few Jurassic reliefs of the Prebético period in the province, they are a magnificent example of karstic […]

Das Projekt von Gisela’s Olive Garden began im Spätsommer 2013, als mein Lebenspartner und ich begannen Zimmer für Feriengäste am Stadtrand von Alicante, Spanien zu vermieten. Diese unvergessliche Lebenserfahrung erlaubte uns ein kleines B&B zu führen, grosse Teile von Spanien zu bereisen und viele Leute im Umkreis von San Vicente del Raspeig kennenzulernen, die bis zum heutigen Tag gute Freunde geblieben sind.

Trotz dieser reichen Erfahrungen und nach intensivem Lernen der Spanischen Sprache, sind wir zu unseren Wurzeln zurückgekehrt und vermieten das Haus an Familie, Freunde und durch verschiedene Websites an andere Feriengäste aus aller Welt.

Wir schätzen uns glücklich, dass das Vermietungskonzept an Feriengäste dank unseren Freunden vor Ort sehr gut klappt. Sie unterstützen uns mit der Reinigung des Hauses und der Garten- und Poolpflege sehr. Auch Dank ihnen ist Gisela’s Olive Garden unser zweites Zuhause und unsere Erholungsoase, wenn wir mehrmals pro Jahr zurück nach Alicante reisen.

 Neue Erfahrung die Spanische Sprache zu erlernen

In unserer vierten Saison im Jahr 2017 möchte ich ein neues Angebot im Haus anbieten. Während einer Woche offeriere ich im Haus einen fünftägigen Spanischkurs mit einer qualifizierten Spanischlehrperson an. Die Gruppe wird aus mindestens drei und aus maximal sechs Lernenden bestehen.

Zusätzlich zum Spanischkurs können verschiedene Halbtagesausflüge und andere bleibende Erlebnisse in Gisela’s Olive Garden oder in der Region unternommen werden und sind im Preis inbegriffen:

Weindegustation und Erklärung der Weinproduktion auf einem renomierten Weingut, Halbtagesexkursion mit einem lokalen Touranbieter, Tapaskochkurs in Gisela’s Olive Garden mit lokalen und traditionellen Rezepten und spektakulärer Tropfsteinhöhlenbesuch mit Führung. Zwei Nachtessen werden im Haus serviert. Entspannung im üppigen Garten, Entdeckungstour in Alicante und der sonnenverwöhnte Strand in San Juan warten ebenfalls darauf entdeckt zu werden!

Das Stadtzentrum von Alicante ist 25 Minuten mit der Strassenbahn entfernt. Die Busverbindung ist sogar noch schneller. In Alicante warten unzählige Restaurants, Läden, Bars und ein schöner Stadtstrand direkt neben der Altstadt.

Die Burg Santa Barbara thront majestätisch über der Stadt und muss zweifelsohne während einem Aufenthalt in Alicante besucht werden. Von oben geniesst man eine beeindruckende Aussicht auf die ganze Stadt, die umliegenden Gebiete, Berge und auf das Mittelmeer.

Mein Ziel ist es, eine vollumfassende Sprachlernerfahrung während dem Aufenthalt in Gisela’s Olive Garden anzubieten und zu zeigen, weshalb ich diese Region Spaniens so liebe.

The project of Gisela’s Olive Garden began in late summer 2013, when my partner and I started to rent rooms for holiday makers in the outskirts of Alicante, Spain. Living in San Vicente del Raspeig for a year brought us a whole new experience in managing a small B&B business, traveling within most parts of the Spanish peninsula and having the chance of meeting locals who became dear friends and who I don’t want to miss in our life.

Despite the fact of having made an unforgettable experience and having improved the Spanish language a lot, we decided to return to our roots and to rent out the whole property for family, friends and other holiday makers from all over the world through different websites.

We have been very lucky that the renting concept to holiday makers has been made easy thanks to dear friends from the neighborhood who helped with the cleaning, garden and swimming pool a lot. Thanks to them the house has become our second home and chill out place every time we come back to Alicante.

New experience of learning Spanish 

For our 4th season in 2017 I try to tackle new possibilities and would like to offer a Spanish learning experience. Taking up again the initial idea of the B&B, my focus is to provide a new and exciting “Spanish experience” with a 5 day Spanish course by a certified teacher giving classes in the house. The group would consist of a minimum of three and at the maximum of six students.

In addition to the Spanish course,  different half day excursions within the region of Alicante are included in the price:

Wine tasting and explanation of the wine production (English or Spanish), half day excursion with a local tour operator in Spanish, tapas cooking class in the house in Spanish  and learning local and traditional tapas recipes, visit of a spectacular cave full of stalagmites and stalactites with guided tour in Spanish. Two dinners are served in the house. Enjoy the time relaxing in the lush garden, explore the city of Alicante or enjoy the beautiful beach in San Juan.

The city centre of Alicante is 25 minutes away by tramway. The bus line  is even quicker. Alicante offers plenty of restaurants, shops, bars and has a beautiful beach right next to the historic center.

Castillo de Santa Barbara overlooks majestically the city and is a must when visiting Alicante. From the top you can enjoy a spectacular view over the whole city, mountains and the Mediterranean.

My goal is to give you a full Spanish experience during your week at Gisela’s Olive Garden and to show you the reason why I love the region so much. Take the chance and experience  a week of local culture combined with a relaxing atmosphere and the chance to speak and improve your Spanish! I am looking forward to providing you a full Spanish experience and am excited to welcome you soon in my second home.
