We stayed here in October 2014 and the Villa was lovely. It's modern and clean, while the pool is a good size. The resort is VERY quiet but we knew this before we went and as we wanted a relaxing break this was fine. The on site clubhouse is nice and contrary to other reviews I have read online the food is nice. The sister site, La Torre, is a few miles down the road, this had a few restaurants, we ate at both the tapas and Italian restaurants - The Italian in particular was good.
You are in easy reach of Murcia which was a very nice city and the port town of Cartegena was also very nice with good shops and cafes. We found the whole area to be very cheap. We had problems with the wifi not working on arrival but this was sorted very promptly by the owners who rang the suppliers for us. Everything else worked as described.

We have just returned home from two weeks at Villa Franka. The villa exceeded our expectations inside and out, our grandchildren loved the pool and the safety fence provided peace of mind for the adults when pool not in use. We cannot fault El Valle golf resort and celebrated our son's birthday with a lovely family meal for 12 at the clubhouse. We can definitely recommend this villa it has everything you need for a self catering holiday. Thank you Dave & Francesca.
villa franka has everything you need for a perfect holiday, especially having my grandson there the fence around the pool was an essential, beautiful villa inside and out, certainly recommended for families with young children, just remember a car is essential if you want to see a bit of murcia there is nothing within walking distance but don't be put off by this it is well worth hiring the car as there are some beautiful beaches about 15 mins away and some lovely restaurants, Fran and her husband have put a lot of thought into their home and made it a fabulous place to visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed our ten days here. It's close to everything and the villa is stunning. Our 1 year old was safe at all times and our 6 year old was in the pool the WHOLE time!
The villa had everything you could wish for, an amazing BBQ, a fantastic master bedroom (enormous bed!) and all you need for young kids.
You do definitely need a car; shopping centres, supermarkets, beaches etc are all 20-30 mins away. The supermarket on site is actually very well stocked and reasonable but STAY AWAY from the clubhouse restaurant. The food is pricey and not very nice, especially the kids' "chicken" nuggets.
We loved it so much we are contemplating returning for half term... if we can afford it :)
p.s. the wifi is a little ropey but really very useful to have. I think the router doesn't have enough bandwidth for the size of the villa
