ÁTICO EN EL CENTRO A 7 MINUTOS DE LA PLAYA

The apartment was perfect for three of us. Very clean and the air conditioning effective. The terrace was the real delight with room to relax, sun bathe, eat and enjoy the views.It was in a perfect position to enjoy the old traditional areas of Alicante yet the port was only a short walk away . The metro to get to the beaches was 1 minute away, very cheap and efficient. The beaches were quiet and the sea warm. The central market 2 minutes away with wonderful fresh produce, a real experience. Luisa was very helpful and kindly allowed us to store our bags and enjoy our final delay before our evening flights. Thank you.

The apartment was clean and well equipped with toiletries ,soaps etc., and the hosts David and Luisi were excellent hosts. My wife was unable to climb the steep stairway to the terrace so we used the lift which accessed the terrace with 2 keys. The terrace has shaded and sun areas so is ideal for both sunbathing and reading.The view of the Fort is superb and one night we were watching a white rabbit on the fort banking, that's how close it is.David supplied a list of local restaurants which was good advice as we tried a few and were good. We used the tram from Calpe to the Mercado and the apartment is just one minute away. So is ideally positioned for everything with the beach about 7-10 mins walk.Would recommend!

The location of this apartment worked perfectly for us. It was so centrally located that we walked absolutely everywhere and never bothered to take a cab or tram once we arrived from the airport. If we had wanted the tram it was only steps from the apartment. There is a grocery store just across the street. The beach is a quick walk, the castle is just across the street and was fun to explore and lovely stores and restaurants were just a stroll away. The apartment itself is new, comfortable and very clean. Luisa is very helpful and friendly. There is quite a steep staircase going up to the roof terrace but it is solid and easily navigated once you get used to it. We and our 8 year daughter were fine on it. If you have limited mobility, this might present an issue for you. Our favourite restaurants (dining with our 8 year old daughter) were Spiga Italianne, Sale & Pep Barrio and the Livanti Gelato di Sicilia on Calle Munoz. We also enjoyed dining in the Plaza Santisima Faz facing the townhall. There are a number of restaurants with very friendly staff. Our favourite was one in the middle with white table cloths. There are musicians that come through and provide entertainment. Overall, our holiday in Alicante was fun and relaxing. We were sorry to leave and hope to return.

The best visual feature is the Santa Barabara castle view from a large terrace. The building is steps to the tram, buses, the Mercado, a grocery store and pastry shops. This convenience sacrifices the Paseo which is a 15 minute walk which is not bad.

The apartment is very basically furnished, example a sofa for 2 and 4 hard dining chairs so it is not comfortable for relaxing. The terrace is reached by a staircase that is so steep that I cannot see carry up anything as both hands are needed for this ladder-like staircase

The living room window sports frosted glass.

The bathrooms are tiny. The master bed can only be got into on one side.

The apartment is equipped with supplies and clean

This apartment is priced appropriately so if you are looking for a budget stay it is worth the money

We loved stopping in this apartment with great views of the castle and ideally situated close to the huge indoor market, tram station and nearby bars and restaurants. The beach and marina are only a 10 minute walk away with plenty of places to sit and take advantage of sunny warm climate. A lovely city well worth visiting!
