About this property

Modern Apartment In The Heart Of The Old Town

The Costa Blanca region of Spain offers year round sunshine, the white sandy beaches are peppered with unspoilt fishing villages and historic towns. Altea is the jewel of this spectacular region and our apartment is in the heart of the town. Altea is surrounded by olive groves, pine forests and the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean. The apartment is within easy walking distance of the magnificent Church of the Virgen del Consuelo, which can be seen from the terrace. In front of the church is a beautiful plaza lined with restaurants, cafés and bars, from this point there are numerous meandering streets leading to the beach/promenade area. Some of Altea's best Spanish and International restaurants are here. Altea has many fiestas throughout the year, with the largest and most famous being the Moors and Christians fiesta in September, there are three days of celebration, this is one festival not to be missed.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Just got back from a stay at this lovely apartment. Everything was exactly as described, and owner couldnt have been more helpful.The location is just perfect for a short stroll into the Old Town which we found bustling at night with bars and restaurants. We had a large hire car so used the little car public park 4 minutes walk away. We have already booked again for next year!

Just returned from an excellent week here. Super clean and tidy, great communication. Property is nice and quiet, but at the same time, very close to the old town which is quite something, especially in the evenings. Close to shops, bars and restaurants. Had pool to ourselves most of the time as not too many apartments in the block. Also a great pebble beach at the bottom of the hill, which also stays fairly quiet. Pretty much ticked every box for us

This is an extremely well equipped apartment (especially in the kitchen) that really has everything one could need. The heating (it was mega cold while we were there) was efficient but we had to have it on all night quite high as the duvets were more suited to hot summer weather. We had rugs to supplement though. I'm just thinking of the owner's heating bills! The best pillows (SO important) I have encountered in a rental! Note that VRBO has it listed as having a bath (their mistake, not the owner's, as I had discussed this with him earlier) but it has a shower. Shirley, the manager was very helpful seeing us in. A small friendly supermarket is just a few minutes walk away. Great restaurants also. All in all a great place to stay. It must be lovely in the summer!

A lovely place to stay

A lovely apartment in the centre of town on a quite side street, the beautiful old town is on the doorstep and with a nice stroll down to the modern sea front you have the best of both worlds. The booking process was very easy and the owners were extremely helpful offering information and great recommendations for things to do, local restaurants and some nice places to have a drink and soak up the atmosphere. The apartment was very clean and tidy and offered everything you need for a very pleasant stay. We definitely hope to return some time soon

Beautiful place to stay!

We were in Altea for a wedding and found this wonderful apartment just on the outskirts of the most beautiful old town of Altea. The apartment has everything you need - a home away from home - and having a pool just a couple of steps away was a massive bonus! It was spotlessly clean - just perfect! I would also like to give a massive thanks to Shirley, who not only collected and delivered us from/to the airport, but also saved us from being stranded and took us to the wedding! I would highly recommend staying here, and if we return to Altea,we would definitely stay here! Thank you Mark and Shirley.

Amazing experience

The apartment is very nice and clean. Communication with the owners was just excellent and we had no problems with checking in, the stay, or the checkout. The apartment had two sleeping rooms and a pool outside and a garage place. It is just a 5-10 mins walk from the beach and a 2 min walk from the church, which is the lively center of the village in the evenings. Just amazing. We highly recommend the place and thank Mark for the hospitality.

“Fantastic Stay – Thoughtfully Equipped and Great Location!”

This property is in a modern, secure building close to the old town and features a pool. We stayed in early March with our 4-year-old daughter, who absolutely loved it. While the water was a bit chilly for a full swim, she still enjoyed dipping her toes in, and my husband found it refreshing.The hosts have pretty much thought of everything you might need for a holiday, from games and holiday books to outdoor furniture and loungers. The well-stocked kitchen was a bonus, with oil, herbs, spices, and even coffee pods—a thoughtful touch! The provided pool towels were also much appreciated.We stayed for two weeks and felt right at home. If we return, we wouldn’t hesitate to book this accommodation again. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This is a really superb place to stay. From booking to leaving everything was perfect. Shirley and Kevin were so helpful and being collected and returned from and to the airport a real bonus. The apartment was spotless and has a well equipped kitchen with everything needed for making meals. The bed was comfortable with lots of hanging space for clothes. Lovely towels and a spacious bathroom. A real bonus having the pool a step away from the sunny terrace terrace. The well stocked supermarket was nearby and a fabulous patisserie just down the steps .

Great property, a few minutes walk from the old town

We enjoyed our stay at this apartment and would recommend it thoroughly. The location is great, right beside the beautiful old town where we ate every night in the wide variety of affordable restaurants. It is a 10 min walk from the sea front. The property has 2 beds and also a fold up bed. There is parking and a small pool which is easy to access from the apartment as it is just out the gate. We were the main users of the pool. There is a local supermarket 2 mins walk away. Mark (and Shirley) were very helpful and responsive and there was a nice bottle of wine on arrival. If we’re ever in Altea again we’ll be back.

Winter Holiday

Spent four weeks in the comfortable and well equipped apartment. Owner Mark was excellent to deal with and Shirley, the local contact was very helpful. The weather was not as good as we had hoped but very pleasant when the sun was shining. Plenty of restaurants in the nearby Old Town, we liked Shabby Chic, and along the long promenade, we liked Classic India and Fresco. We walked a lot and took the bus to Clape, the tram to Denia, Benidorm and pretty Vila Joiosa. Unfortunately we had a medical emergency and one of us spent two nights in the Hospital De La Vila Joiosa where the care was excellent!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Pettit

Host profile image
Casa Leah is a family owned apartment in Altea. Our family is based throughout Europe and the Southern Hemisphere, it is regularly used by all members whether for a quick weekend break by individuals or a more exciting larger family reunion! It has been a fantastic family holidaying spot since it's purchase and is enjoyed from grandparents through to grandchildren. There is always something new happening in the town or the local area for a some adventure! Family and friends use this property whether with their own children, friends or even on their own for some solitude. This property will remain within our family for years to come as it has happy memories and will inevitably make many more.

Why they chose this property

This property was bought in Altea as it was a new, modern build but had considerations for its location to the historical walled Old Town-1 minute walk away. The more modern beach promenade is less than a 10 minute stroll downhill.

Altea has numerous restaurants and bars ranging from quaint to truly gourmet, some are mentioned in foreign "foodie" publications. Many of these establishments have incredible views of the Mediterranean and the nearby mountain ranges with their fairy-lit towns. There are cafés and bakeries everywhere, great for a morning coffee stroll or packing for a picnic.

The surrounding region has many pretty villages along the coast and inland that are famous for their foods, wines, fiestas and markets.

Altea is easily accessed from Alicante or Valencia airport.

What makes this property unique

The property is ground floor and was deliberately chosen by the family for this reason. The courtyard at the back of the lounge continues straight out into the communal pool area. This is a great if you have children or just want to have a quick dip.

Also this region of Spain is well travelled by cyclists whether in winter training or during the season. Being a ground floor apartment the access for bikes straight out onto the street has been great for the keener family members!

Due to the great location local convenience stores are only a shot walk away making unnecessary to constantly rely on a vehicle.

There are many local beaches, Altea, La Villa Joyosa and Calpe are our favourites. Beach towels and other picnic equipment, including chairs are supplied so you can travel light!
