Casa en Bellaguarda, Altea

We has a lovely in property again. Wonderful roof terrace with beautiful views. Location is perfect. Negative: Basement bedroom doesn’t have air conditioning so hot at night and also smells a little musty.

Närheten till allt. Positive: Närheten till stranden och till Gamla stan. Mycket pittoreskt område. Nära till matbutiker. Sköna sängar och fin takterrass Negative: Källaren luktade fukt och mögel. Inte så välstädat. Endast ett riktigt vinglas.

Loved this property Positive: Just returned from a week staying in Altea at this charming, comfortable and convenient town house. Location of the property is great, you can easily walk to the old town, sea front, large super market and high street. The property doesn't have parking but a free very large public car park is only a 5 minute walk. The standout bonus is the roof terrace. The views are spectacular; mountains, sea and old town with the blue doomed church are a feast for the eyes. We spent a lot of time here and even cooked a couple of meals in and ate them enjoying the views with the Swifts dancing in the sky above. You can watch the sunrise and set too. The kitchen is well equipped and has a nespresso coffee machine which was an unexpected bonus. The bathrooms were clean and the shower was good. Bed was comfortable. Negative: Lower ground floor bedroom did have a musty smell but I'm sure if you kept the windows open for a while it would disappear. There are lots of stairs but that's what you expect really from this type of old property in this location.

A thoroughly enjoyable rental facilitating the best Altea has to offer. Positive: As described a traditional Spanish townhouse in an excellent location in Altea. Easy access to the sea front, supermarkets /shops and of course the Old Town of Altea. Not our first stay in Altea but best location by far. We stayed a month. Our hosts were magnificent and any contact made was very quickly dealt with, noticeably so compared to other hosts we have rented from and as "seasoned renters" this makes a huge difference to the experience. I think it worthy of note that if you want soulless chrome, glass and grey then this property isn`t for you but if what you seek is authenticity, charm and a rental typical of the area then this house is for you. I believe it would be equally well catered in the hot months as air condition is there if you need it. I read some unmerited harsh reviews prior to our trip, and perhaps if guests could be practical e.g. simply open the bathroom windows after showering to let steam out thus reducing the build up of moisture spores this would greatly assist the hosts and the property. Negative: The house can sleep x 6 adults but the living room area is lacking in seating space for same. However, the super spacious basement bedroom has x 2 extra chairs that can easily be taken upstairs during your stay and doesn`t pose a problem.

Mysigt välutrustat hus med fantastiskt utsikt Positive: Mysigt och välutrustat hus med härlig takterrass med 360 C fantastiskt utsikt. Negative: En hel del trappor.
