Welcome to Nigel-Bailey.com!

I’m Nigel Bailey, the proud owner and host of Villa Florencia Casa Rural, a peaceful countryside retreat nestled in the scenic hills of Gandia, Spain.

Originally from the UK, I moved to this sun-soaked region with my husband, Mark, in search of a slower pace of life surrounded by nature. Together, we’ve turned Villa Florencia into a warm and welcoming home for travelers seeking tranquility and a genuine connection to the beauty of rural Spain. Mark and I share a deep love for this region and the lifestyle it offers, and we both enjoy making our guests feel like part of our extended family.

Mark plays a huge role in the daily life at Villa Florencia. From helping out with the garden to offering his warm hospitality, he’s as passionate as I am about making this a special place. His love for animals matches mine, and together we care for our beloved pets, who have become part of the heart and soul of the villa. They’re always around to offer a friendly greeting to new guests.

As for me, when I’m not looking after our visitors, you’ll likely find me in the garden, where I indulge in my passion for gardening. I’ve spent years cultivating the lush Mediterranean landscape that surrounds the villa, filling it with vibrant flowers, fragrant herbs, and homegrown produce. The garden is my sanctuary, and I love sharing its beauty with everyone who stays with us.

At Villa Florencia, Mark and I aim to create a relaxing and unforgettable experience, where you can unwind, explore the natural beauty of Gandia, and feel right at home. We’re excited to welcome you to our little corner of paradise.

Thank you for visiting our site, and we hope to see you soon at Villa Florencia!
