After many years of dreaming about owning a family villa, we decided to visit the A Place in the Sun exhibition at the Excel Centre in London. We contacted MASA International and were introduced to Chris Dowell, who was quick to respond and guided us through the entire process—including arranging our flights and organising a viewing trip to Alicante.When we arrived at Alicante Airport, Chris and Lorraine welcomed us and took us to the DNA Monse Hotel in Torrevieja, which they had booked for us. After checking in, they gave us a tour of the region, showing us key areas, several of the beautiful local beaches, and stopping for a coffee and a bite to eat. We were chauffeured everywhere, making the whole experience relaxed and stress-free.The next day, they collected us from the hotel and showed us around five villas that all matched our criteria and budget. Thanks to their thoughtful selection, we found exactly what we were looking for—a three-bedroom detached villa in Orihuela at the Vistabella Golf Resort—and decided to make an offer. Chris and Lorraine supported us throughout the negotiation.On the third day, they took us to the MASA International offices to go through the process and finalise the reservation. They were incredibly helpful, and with support from Jackie, we met with Visona, a local lawyer, and a conveyancer. They accompanied us to the Notaire to begin the NIE and banking setup, which went smoothly. We were then taken to a nearby furniture store to explore options and pricing, and afterwards to Zenia Boulevard, one of the major shopping centres in the region. With its shops, bars, restaurants, and lively atmosphere, it was a great insight into what the area has to offer.On the final day, Chris and Lorraine dropped us back at the airport.Although it was a busy few days, the team made the whole experience effortless. The **entire team—especially Chris and Lorraine—**were professional, friendly, and went above and beyond. There was never any pressure—just genuine support from start to finish.A huge thank-you to the entire MASA International team for helping turn our dream into reality. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for their own place in the sun. We were extremely impressed with the whole experience.
