Villa for sale in Altea, Alicante

Five-bedroom chalet located in the Sierra de Altea, next to the Don Cayo Golf Club and the Campomanes marina and 3 km from the town of Altea and its beautiful beaches.

The picturesque tourist town of Altea is located in the Marina Baja region, on the Mediterranean coast of the Gulf of Altea, south of Calpe and north of Alfaz del Pi. The long ridge of the Sierra Bernia separates Calpe from Altea.

Very quiet and welcoming, Altea has always attracted brilliant and creative people, and in the mid-20th century there was a whole colony of artists, authors, and musicians, who turned the city into a bohemian place.

Altea differs from the rest of the Costa Blanca towns by its pebble beaches and its narrow streets with white houses covered by tile roofs, as reminiscent of the white Andalusian village as snow.

Cobbled paths, located on the slopes of the Old Town, lead to the Catholic Church of Our Lady of Consolation, which has become a symbol of Altea. Its blue and white dome is often called the "Dome of the Mediterranean."

The ruins of the Bernia Fort, from the 16th century, and the watchtowers of Bellaguarda and La Galera (from the 16th-17th centuries) have come down to our days.

In Altea lies the first Orthodox church built in Spain, the Temple of the Archangel Saint Michael. It was built with the money of the parishioners who live in Altea Hills, one of the most affluent residential areas in Altea.
