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.

Only stayed 4 nights to attend my niece's wedding. Will definitely be back with more time to explore the local area. A stunning region in Spain with excellent accommodation.
“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!
We had a really nice holiday. The apartment was clean and had everything needed, especially in the kitchen. It was near to the center of the old town, but still in a quiet street.
We really enjoyed our stay there.
I regularly choose to come stay here when visiting with family, because its comfortable, easy to manage, very located for walking into town - both the central hilltop plaza and the beachfront - as well as coming in by car. Owner Mark is very responsive as well as Shirley the local manager.
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.
Super convenient, spacious flat near beautiful centre of Altea
Glad to be staying at this 2-bed flat again - its easy walking distance to central plaza near the church, or down to the beach. Shops nearby. Garage parking, and easy access via car to get in and out of town.
Fast response from property owner, and additional support close at hand.
Clean, straightforward ground floor apartment with 2 bedrooms, within minutes walk to central hilltop plaza of Altea. Convenient for cars. Helpful, responsive owner.
The location and standard of the apartment was perfect. We were minutes walk along cobbled streets from the centre of Altea old town with a stunning square in front of the church, plus several bars, cafes and restaurants in close proximity. A further 5 minutes walk down the hill was Altea beach front/promenade which we visited most mornings for coffee and something to eat. We were able to check in slightly early (excellent communications from Shirley our local contact for checking in), plus there was flexibility for the checking out time on the final day as we had a late flight. The apartment came with a basement parking space which was suitable for the small car we hired. We highly recommend staying here and plan to return. Mark, thank you so much for the help and messages in the lead up to our stay, plus the flexibility with check in/check out times. Much appreciated.
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!
Had a lovely stay. The place is so cute! Be aware that you are at the top of a hill and be prepared to do a lot of walking. Easy walk to the old town square and shopping/restaurants. Lovely little bakery and coffe place around the corner.
Nous avons passé un super séjour dans cet appartement, Altea est une ville magnifique et le logements est très bien situé, de plus on se croirait comme chez nous.Il y a une place de parkings et toutes les commodités. Je recommande ! Merci!L
El alojamiento dispone de todo lo necesario. Lo único las toallas un poco desgastadas, pero el resto todo bien. Incluidos los detalles de bienvenida del propietario
Situated one street below the historic centre, about a 20 min walk from the paseo marítimo (seaside), the apartment is equipped, clean and bright, although not refreshed. The arrival was efficient. Parking space available, although tricky with a larger car. Overall, very comfortable.
Piekny apartment ze wszystkimi udogodnoeniami. Niezakłócona komunikacja z gospodarzem. Do dyspozycji basen dostepny na wyciagnieciereki. Polecam wszystkim.
El piso es tal como se en las fotos, muy cómodo y con aire acondicionado en todas las estancias lo cual se agradece por el calor que está haciendo este verano. Lo recomiendo
L’appartement est très propre et joliment décoré
Bonne communication avec Shirley qui a été bien réactive lors d’un petit soucis.
Piscine très agréable.
Situation idéale pour aller au centre du vieux Altea à pieds.
Pour nous, le seul bémol aura été la trop grande promiscuité avec les voisins
El apartamento tal y como se describe. La ubicación y tiene sus ventajas e incovenientes. Para salir por la parte vieja fenomenal, a un paso. Pero para ir a la playa aunque son unos 7 minutos andando, la vuelta se hace un poco pesada, es todo cuesta arriba y si vienes con las sillas... Aun y todo hemos estado súper agusto. El aire acondicionado una maravilla y el apartamento está genial.
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 . An ideal location for restaurants and all amenities. I hope I get the opportunity to stay again when next I am in Altea. thank you for such a great stay.

About the host
Hosted by Mark Pettit
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!
