A car is needed to enjoy this apartment and to explore the beautiful coastline, beaches and countryside. Car hire is easily accessed at both airports. Ferries for the Balearics leave Denia daily and this can be a great extra trip. There is also a coach service from Alicante airport to Benidorm and Calpe.

Further details
Altea is just 15 minutes north of Benidorm, but the two cultures are worlds apart. Altea is a restful and picturesque Spanish university and market town, with a labyrinth of small streets and beautiful views over the bay of Altea. The old and new parts of the town are divided with the old part being high on the hill and the lower part having designer shops, galleries selling hand-crafted goods as well as a range of good quality tapas bars and restaurants. The seafront promenade is lined with palm trees and has safe play areas. Altea is served both by a small local coastal railway linking Alicante with Denia, and by bus services. The local village of Altea La Vella, which is a 5 minute drive away, has good supermarkets, chemist, banks, greengrocer, newsagents, florist, bakeries, and a number of tapas bars and good restaurants. For the family there are Aqualandia, Terra Mitica and Natura Theme Parks, and for younger children the Mundomar Sea World which are all less than 10km away. The Palau performing arts centre in Altea provides a first class cultural focus for the whole region featuring ballet, opera, classical music and light entertainment. There are many local markets with the largest on the Costa Blanca in Altea every Tuesday. Guadalest, Calpe, Denia, Javea and Benidorm are all within a short drive.

"Beautiful apartment with stunning views. Still enjoying it even after 4 visits." (Mr & Mrs Hammond); "Absolutely idyllic. Quiet, reading, eating, drinking, sleeping – perfect." (Mr & Mrs Knott); "What a fantastic place! The apartment and complex have been very relaxing and cosmopolitan – loads of other nationalities staying which has been great." (Mr & Mrs Butler).
Lovely apartment, a real home from home. We are taking home details of 2 apartments that are for sale (Elliott).
House swap
House swap considered. We are particularly interested in Greek Islands, Italy and USA. Would like somewhere sleeping at least 4 with minimum of 2 bathrooms, and not isolated.
Owner profile
About the owner
We are retired and use the apartment as our second home, where we currently spend about 3 months a year. We only use this site to advertise the apartment.

Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We bought the apartment as we wanted a second home with an excellent climate, and that would have a strong Spanish yet cosmopolitan atmosphere. The complex is a 50% mix of residential and second home owners. The atmosphere at the complex is calm and comfortable, with a well run community administration.
Unique benefits of the property
It's well positioned for amenities as described in the apartment details and quiet in the evenings as there is, deliberately - no bar on site but there are a good selection a few kilometres away.
